Steel
barriers and bollards are an excellent way to improve safety and security on a
temporary or more permanent basis. When we think about these kinds of barriers,
we usually envision them in place in areas, such as factories, warehouses, and
car parks. However, this equipment is extremely useful in other areas where safety
is a concern. Some of these applications may be new to you, and there may be
many others that you can think of. Let’s take a closer look at three of these
less known areas where barrier rails may be installed.
1.
Playground Areas:
We
all want our children to be as safe as possible, and this is especially the
case when using a playground. As these areas have been designated for
children's play, we expect them to be inherently safer. We would expect that
the chances of any kind of vehicular accident would not even be possible. This
has been taken into account by smart planners in many locations, especially
where car parks and playgrounds are in close proximity. Upon closer inspection,
you will probably notice traffic bollards stationed at entry points and perhaps
barriers located along perimeters shared with roads and car parks.
2.
On Biking Trails:
At
entrances to biking trails, it isn’t uncommon to see a traffic bollard to
prevent cars from accessing the trail. It is also common to see barriers
located along some dangerous trails and sections of related roads. These
barriers are installed to prevent falls from higher gradients and offer and
easy to follow perimeter to encourage safer riding.
3.
Construction Sites:
If
construction is being conducted along a busy road that is still in use, it is
very common to see bollards and/or Safety Barriers. When construction crews are
working in close proximity to traffic the chances of an accident occurring are
raised significantly. In these circumstances, a humble traffic cone is simply
not sufficient and offers no protection. This is especially true if a major
construction project is underway and will be around for a long period of time.
It may be necessary to protect pedestrians as they are moved around the
perimeter of the site using signage and steel barriers.
