About Containment Barricades<\/h2><\/div>

When required, a containment barricade can be installed completely around an area to restrict public access to the site by way of a physical barrier during the construction activity inside.<\/p>\n

It is commonplace to see an example of an \u2018containment barricade\u2019 in most department stores, train stations etc and it would usually have some form of advertising material \/ images applied to the barricade post installation. The barricade is often considered a critical \u2018messaging opportunity\u2019 for the retailer.<\/p>\n

Given the location of such barricades are usually in \u2018high pedestrian traffic areas\u2019 then adherence to the required Australian Standard (AS4687) is critical.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Compliance for Containment Barricades<\/h2><\/div>

Australian Standard AS4687 provides the technical, safety and minimum structural guidelines that all A-Class barricades must adhere to.<\/p>\n

This technical guide ensures that the 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

All 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 various retail environments \/ train stations \/ airports to be decorative by nature, it is often impossible to brace or attach to these areas and maintain a level of structural integrity that is compliant with AS4687.<\/p>\n

The Lomax barricade system doesn\u2019t require bracing as it is counterweighted at the rear of the panels and so is completely free-standing \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

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 AS4687 requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>
