When Notre-Dame Cathedral burned in 2019, the restoration team faced a challenge most architects never encounter: meeting modern safety codes inside an 850-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here's how Jakob Webnet made it possible.

Safety That Earns Its Place The best safety systems on high-design projects share a common trait: they solve the engineering problem without creating a visual one. At the Passerelle A9, Webnet does exactly that — a compliant, load-rated fall protection system that integrates into the bridge's architecture rather than sitting on top of it. If you're working on a bridge, overpass, or elevated structure where standard guardrail systems feel too heavy, Jakob's team can work through the options with you.
