About construction site barricades<\/h2><\/div>Generally, a construction site barricade is outdoors, and as such is often designed and engineered to be suitable for the wind loading of that site-specific location \u2013 using a Marine Ply panel that is suitable for outdoor use.<\/p>\n
A construction barricade is required just outside that \u2018works area\u2019 to restrict public access to the site by way of a physical barrier \u2013 It is often called a perimeter barricade and is commonly in place for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n
Given the outdoor location and install term of such barricades, there is a significant impact from wind pressure, and this must be considered to ensure the barricade is compliant for its site-specific location.<\/p>\n
There are 3 x main approaches for erecting a construction barricade (No single solution suits every project):<\/p>\n
\n- Ground penetrating posts \u2013 Ground penetrating posts mitigate site-specific wind pressures easily, but are time consuming to install and require surface make-good on removal<\/li>\n
- Large format counterweights (generally concrete \u2013 generally 400-750Kg each) \u2013 very heavy to transport \/ difficult to adjust mid-project<\/li>\n
- Small format counterweights \u2013 The Lomax Counterweights are 18Kg each. This offers a good solution but requires a large quantity of units to be compliant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
However, in locations where access is difficult and \/ or ground penetration is not possible (expensive paving \/ council areas \/ heritage sites etc) then this is the best solution. In addition, the barricade is easily modified mid-project.<\/p>\n
Given the location of such barricades are usually in \u2018high pedestrian traffic areas\u2019 then adherence to the required Australian Standard (AS4687) and its critical understand the potential of any additional wind pressure on the barricade.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Compliance for construction site barricades<\/h2><\/div>Australian Standard AS4687 provides the technical, safety and minimum structural guidelines that all barricades must adhere to.<\/p>\n
This technical guide ensures that an indoor barricade is capable of withstanding a physical \u2018impact\u2019 to both the front and the rear of the barricade of a certain force so as to simulate an equivalent occurrence \/ accident during any general construction works.<\/p>\n
AS4687 also offers guidance as to the minimum wind-speed capability that the barricade must be able to withstand in its site-specific location. The wind pressure is greater than that of the indoor impact test and so this needs to be considered for outdoor compliance.<\/p>\n
All outdoor barricades must be erected in accordance to AS4687 and a structural engineer should issue certification to confirm that the installation has been completed in a compliant manner.<\/p>\n
Since it is commonplace for the ceilings in outdoor areas to be either decorative or even non-existent \u2013 so even if a ceiling does exist, it is often impossible to brace or attach to these areas and maintain a level of structural integrity that is compliant with AS4687 \u2013 especially when considering the additional wind load of the site specific location.<\/p>\n
The Lomax barricade system is counterweighted at the rear of the panels and is completely free-standing (so requires no bracing to be compliant) \u2013 This approach makes the Lomax barricade system the ideal solution to ensure that compliance to AS4687 is achieved in every installation again and again!<\/p>\n
We have completed the AS4687 code-compliant testing and calculation for all our configurations to be able to free-stand outdoors up to 4mH and for various wind speeds up to 34m\/s (122.4Kph).<\/p>\n
This compliance to AS4687 is supported by all the required certification issued by an independent, external structural engineer.<\/p>\n
The Lomax system is designed, tested and manufactured to exceed AS-4687 requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Why use the Lomax System for construction barricade?<\/h2><\/div>\n- Designed and engineered for compliance to AS4687 \u2013 All configurations are certified by an external, independent structural engineer<\/li>\n
- Outdoor Wind Rated\u00a0\u2013 Due to the clever design of our inter-locking weights, the system offers\u00a0a wide range of outdoor (wind rated) configurations \u2013 Options range in heights up to 4mH and wind-speed capabilities up to 34m\/s (122.4Kph) with no ground penetrations needed<\/li>\n
- Narrow Footprint \u2013 For many outdoor barricade configurations we have an extremely narrow footprint of only 46cm. If a double stack of weights is required, our \u2018double stack support post\u2019 can be used for enhanced stability and the footprint is only 92cm<\/li>\n
- Free-Standing \u2013 An outdoor barricade can free-stand up to 4m and is a completely self-supporting system \u2013 no bracing required \u2013 no property damaged caused.<\/li>\n
- It\u2019s Safe and Secure\u00a0\u2013 For maximum safety and our peace of mind, our clever design ensures weights cannot be detached from the barricade panels whilst the barricade is still standing<\/li>\n
- Supports Cross Beams\u00a0\u2013 A\u00a0critical\u00a0cosmetic feature to ensure the barricade doesn\u2019t move or snake around post-install \u2013\u00a0The barricade stays straight.<\/li>\n
- Offers a Support Post\u00a0\u2013 A Steel Support Post extends upwards from the counterweights to increase the height of the fulcrum point of the system, reduce the quantity of weight required and ultimately offer enhanced structural stability<\/li>\n
- Multiple Panel Thicknesses + Type \u2013 Suitable for 12mm MDF \/ 16mm Particle Board \/ Marine Ply and many more<\/li>\n
- It\u2019s Stable \u2013 The standard MPG10 90\u00d745 (4\u00d72) timber is logically orientated on the strong axis for extra strength and stability at greater height<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i>Back to All Barricade Solutions<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
