so it is less obtrusive and allows the client to utilise the fencing for
event or sponsor promotion.
“We have about 7-8kms of pedestrian barriers or crowd control
barriers which we also rotate through events and construction sites
(newer for events and older stock for construction sites). Ground
Control Barriers are for people protection during special events
and are also perfect for cordoning off restricted areas.
“The flexibility and simplicity of temporary fencing is one of the
greatest aspects of the product. You don’t need specialised tools to
move it and it will keep honest people out. It is not intended as a
high security solution.
“We find there are a lot of players in the temporary fencing
market that have product outside the Australian Standard
specifications. Most people miss the fact we put up a fence
designed to Australian Standards and with wind loading ratings.
“We often find clients and end users don’t take into
consideration the wind loading factor when they’re hanging
banners and promotional materials onto their hire fencing.
They don’t realise they are taking away from the engineering of
the designed product. For example, shade cloth or advertising
material can create a sail area. We work hard at the point of sale
to understand the clients’ needs and hanging requirements so we
can load the fencing appropriately.
“While normal temporary fencing has a block and panel and
clamp when wind loading the fencing it needs counter weighted
bracing to add safety and stability to the fencing panels.”
The new Victorian Temporary Fencing location is 2 Chifley
Drive, Preston.
