About The Client

The Requirement

To install barriers that provide effective structural and visual protection against potential vehicular collisions with on-site storage tanks.

The Challenges

• Compatibility with Site Layout: The design and dimensions of the barrier must fit seamlessly within the site’s layout without obstructing operations or access.
• Material Durability: The barrier should be made of materials that can endure environmental conditions, such as corrosion resistance for outdoor installations.
• Ease of Installation: The product should be straightforward to install, minimising downtime and disruption to site operations.
• Maintenance Needs: The barrier should require minimal maintenance while retaining its structural integrity over time.
• Traffic Flow Considerations: The barrier must not hinder regular vehicular or personnel traffic around the storage tanks, ensuring operational efficiency.

The Solution

After evaluating the challenges and requirements, DGL Manufacturing selected Area Safe’s Surex ‘Recessed Rail’ Warehouse Barrier.

The Surex ‘Recessed Rail’ Warehouse Barrier offers the following features:

• Enhanced Strength: The recessed rail design integrates the rail into the post, increasing rigidity and durability while minimising reliance on bolts for structural integrity.
• Corrosion Resistance: Fully galvanised construction ensures long-term resistance to rust, making it ideal for outdoor use or facilities exposed to cleaning, chemicals, or harsh environments.
• Safety Features: Optional handrails and kick plates add additional safety for walkways, mezzanines, or drop-off points.
• Easy Installation: Designed for single-person installation, the system reduces labour costs and downtime during setup.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for warehouses, car parks, and loading docks, this barrier provides consistent safety standards for both indoor and outdoor environments.
