Railing base for a safety railing structure, guardrails

A railing base for a safety railing structure, the railing base comprising:

• one rail post receptor and one counterweight receptor, the rail post receptor accommodating between one and four railing posts of a guardrail and the counterweight receptor comprising a hollow bottom to allow for water drainage,
• the rail post receptor comprising four upper receiving holes open towards the top,
• each upper receiving hole being configured to receive by insertion and to hold upright a railing post of a guardrail, the counterweight receptor being configured to accommodate concrete paver stones each having the same determined square shape and size,
• the concrete paver stones being stacked one on top of the other in the counterweight receptor, the counterweight receptor being delimited at the bottom by a horizontal soleplate and laterally by four vertical side walls perpendicular to the soleplate,
• the four side walls being adjusted as to border and retain laterally the concrete paver stones, the counterweight receptor being open towards the top, the rail post receptor being arranged along one corresponding side wall of the counterweight receptor, the railing base being fabricated from sheet metal,
• wherein each upper receiving hole is configured to receive by vertical insertion, a lower end of the railing post of a guardrail, the railing post lower end shape being tubular, the upper receiving hole being open toward the top and having a shape corresponding to the cross-section shape that of the railing post lower end, and
• wherein the rail post receptor is comprised of a horizontal upper retainer plate having the upper receiving holes, the upper plate being horizontal and located at a level above the level of the soleplate.
