Certification
Structurally engineered, designed and tested for safety and ‘best in class’ compliance
Best in class standards and guides globally have been considered and applied so that the Lomax System can provide and exceed:
• International Building Code (IBC)
• Australian Impact and Climb Standard AS4687-2022
The ‘Lomax System’ offers a range of reusable modular products that can be deployed with our simple instructions to build safe, compact, freestanding and indoor or outdoor barricade and fencing solutions – again and again and again!
Certified compliant by independent structural engineers
All Lomax System configurations have been tested, re-tested and approved for compliance.
Multiple tests are required in controlled environments for all barricade and fencing configurations. The Lomax System has exceeded these testing requirement.
Impact Testing
Part of our rigorous testing is that the hoarding or fence is capable of withstanding a physical ‘impact’ to both the front and the rear.
This impact by a nominated and specific force so as to simulate an equivalent occurrence / accident during any general construction works.
Simulated Climb Test
A ‘simulated climb test’ has be achieved to ensure the barricade and fence cannot be scaled whilst in general use
This test is completed by suspending a weighted pendulum on a lever arm from top of the ‘3 x panel’ barricade or fencing configuration for a period of 3 minutes.
Outdoor ‘Wind Rated’ Applications
Multiple factors that must to be considered to assess the correct ‘site-specific’ wind speed.
The Lomax System has developed clever tools to assist you with correctly assessing your site-specific wind speed requirements and what system configuration is suitable.
Aperture & Load Testing of Fence Panels
For fencing panels specifically, consideration must be given so that the aperture of the mesh does not allow the passing of a small cubed block and that the the fence is capable of to a downward load test.
Multiple panel types by numerous panel manufacturers can be used with the Lomax System
Lomax System Technical and Installation Guide
The intent of this ‘Technical and Installation Guide’ is to clearly describe and illustrate the build process and structural certification parameters of the various configurations for the ‘Lomax System’ in accordance to the testing of the system that was completed by the independent structural engineers.
