Abstract
An edge protection system including a first expandable armoured joint to protect a first joint extending in a first direction, a second expandable armoured joint to protect a second joint extending in a second direction and an intersection module at an intersection of the first expandable armoured joint and the second expandable armoured joint, wherein the intersection module has an indicator to enable a user to ensure correct orientation of the intersection module.
Claims20
An edge protection system comprising:
- a first expandable armoured joint configured to protect a first joint extending in a first direction;
- a second expandable armoured joint configured to protect a second joint extending in a second direction;
- and
- an intersection module configured to be at an intersection of the first expandable armoured joint and the second expandable armoured joint, wherein the intersection module has an indicator configured to enable a user to ensure a correct rotational orientation about a central axis of the intersection module relative to the first expandable armoured joint and the second expandable armoured joint.
