Calculate the type and quantity of Lomax System components you need for your project
Our reusable, modular components can deliver a range of structurally engineered and compliant configurations for:
- Indoor hoardings (up to 8mH)
- Outdoor hoardings (up to 4mH with various wind speeds)
- Temporary Fencing (all environments with various wind speeds)
We have completed the required testing for all configurations and provide simple guides so that the correct volume of counterweight is used in accordance to its environment for compliance.
It’s really simple and all structural engineering documents are provided.
Indoor Hoarding Example
Our counterweights are 18Kg each so for an indoor hoarding at 2.4mH it only requires 3 x Lomax Counterweights (per stack) and 1 x Large Lomax Support Post on the rear of each panel join at max 1.2mW spacing to support the panels and timbers.
Then for 3.6mH it only requires 4 x Lomax Counterweights (per stack) and 1 x Large Lomax Support
Our easy calculator confirms the quantity of Lomax counterweights that you’d need for indoor hoardings to freestand up to a massive 8mH.
Outdoor Hoardings
Outdoor hoardings need to mitigate and manage the additional wind pressure of the specific location / environment they are in.
Australian Standard AS4687-2022 details factors such as Topography, Shielding and Terrain Category that need to be considered for the specific location of your installation.
Unlike an indoor hoarding, you may also need to construct an outdoor hoarding with a ‘double stack’ of counterweights or even space them closer at 0.6mW intervals so you can achieve greater mass weight for overall stability and compliance – We have specifically designed a ‘Double-Stack Support Post’ to offer the easiest approach to constructing an outdoor hoarding that requires this ‘double stack’ of counterweights.
We have also developed a simple guide that assists you to select the site specific environmental conditions so you can then determine the correct ‘code compliant wind speed’.
Once you know this code compliant wind speed for your specific location then our ‘System Configurator’ can guide your through the build requirements.
Outdoor Hoarding Example
An outdoor hoarding at 2.4mH with a wind speed capability of 23m/s (82.8Kph) requires a double stack of ‘8+8’ x Lomax Counterweights (back-to-back) and 1 x Double Support Post on the rear of each panel join at 1.2mW spacing / intervals to support the panels and timbers that you would add.
So, for an outdoor hoarding that is 12Lm @ 2.4mH and a wind rating of 23m/s requires just 160 x Lomax Counterweights and 10 x Double Support Posts to support the panels and timbers that you would add.
We have completed the wind computations for all our outdoor configurations and provide a simply guide so that you can offer the correct ‘weight-to-height-to-wind speed’ ratio for compliance – It’s very easy and all instructions and structural engineering documents are provided.
Use our simple ‘Lomax Stock Calculator’ to understand what quantity of modular components you would need for your project.
Lomax Technical and Installation Guide
The intent of this guide is to clearly describe and illustrate the build process and structural certification parameters of the various indoor and outdoor modular configurations for the Lomax Hoarding and Fencing System – For additional information please contact us.
National Hoarding Design & Installation Service
If you would prefer us (or one of our many stockists) to manage your hoarding installation and would rather not the hire or purchase of the structural equipment yourselves, we provide a complete hoarding design and installation service for you nationwide.
