Self-climbing modular system for the protection of civil works and buildings under construction

A self-climbing modular system for the protection of a structure under construction, the self-climbing modular system comprising:

• a first base fixed in cantilever with a first slab of the structure, an end of the first base including a first support;
• a second base spaced-apart from the first base and fixed in cantilever with the first slab, an end of the second base including a second support;
• a first upright having a portion thereof arranged in the first support, the first upright and the first support being configured to allow guided vertical displacement of the first upright with respect to the first base;
• a second upright having a portion thereof arranged in the second support, the second upright and the second support being configured to allow guided vertical displacement of the second upright with respect to the second base, the first and second uprights being vertically displaceable independent of one another;
• and
• one or more handrails that each has a first articulated end coupled to the first upright and a second articulated end coupled to the second upright, each of the one or more handrails comprising a first portion that includes the first articulated end and a second portion that includes the second articulated end, the first portion being slidable inside the second portion, each of the one or more handrails being configured to telescopically lengthen upon the first upright being vertically displaced without there being a same vertical displacement of the second upright.
