Installing a height-restriction barrier in a car park or industrial site requires careful planning to ensure safety, durability, and long-term performance.
- Site Survey – Before fabrication, a detailed survey is recommended to measure entry width, clearance height, and surface levels. This ensures the barrier fits precisely and aligns with site access routes.
- Ground Conditions & Foundations – Each support post should be embedded in concrete to the correct depth (typically 300–500 mm) to provide full stability and impact resistance. Poor or uneven ground may need additional preparation or larger foundation pads.
- Slope & Gradient – On sloping sites, it’s important to check that the barrier’s cross-beam remains level once installed and that clearance height is consistent across the full width of the opening.
- Width Span & Clearance – Standard openings range from 3 m to 9 m, but larger spans may require central support posts or reinforced cross-sections to maintain rigidity and reduce flexing.
- Installation Access & Safety – Ensure there is sufficient working space for equipment, concrete setting time, and safe pedestrian diversion during works.
At Aremco Barriers, all UK-manufactured height-restriction barriers are supplied with full installation guidance, including recommended foundation sizes, bolt-down or built-in options, and site-specific fitting advice. Our experienced team can also assist with on-site surveys to confirm clearances and ensure each barrier is safely and accurately installed.
