Construction fencing - a necessary safety attribute

Construction sites are high-risk areas. To limit the penetration of unwanted items off the site, as well as to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the work area, a grid is used to enclose construction sites.

We will talk about the types and purpose of various types of construction mesh.

Construction site fencing is a necessary safety measure.

Classification

Metal welded mesh

The barrage of welded steel rods is quite effective and is used everywhere.

The welded fence for the fence is a product of galvanized or non-galvanized steel rods or wires, perpendicular and welded at the intersections of spot welding.

This view is used for such purposes:

• Fencing of construction sites and facilities around the perimeter;
• Separation of various working areas within the site for the purpose of zoning and the effective organization of labor of workers;
• Zoning and restriction of access during road works;
• Fencing of forests and facades of buildings and structures under construction and repair;
• Blocking the movement of pedestrians in areas of high-altitude work;
• Restricting access of unauthorized persons to construction sites;
• Reinforcement of gypsum panels, surfaces of walls and ceilings during the finishing works;
• Drainage of supporting structures and horizontal terraces;
• Identification and separation of underground communications;
• Reinforcement of concrete, brickwork, arches, walls and other structures;
• Protection of anticorrosive plating of pipelines.

Building mesh for fencing of welded rods is strong enough and effective, however, it has disadvantages:

• Relatively high price;
• Inconvenient transportation;
• Great weight;
• There is no possibility to fold or collapse the product for compact storage;
• Affected by precipitation and oxygen.

Rabbit

Rabbit, пожалуй, самый распространенный в этой стране вид заграждения.

Braided fence mesh for fence (chain-link) is flat metal spirals interlaced with galvanized, aluminum or coated with polymeric dye wire.

Unlike the welded lattice, the chain-link can be turned in a bay and be stored in a compact look. Also simplified transportation of the product, its installation and disassembly.

The rabbits are widely used:

• Fencing perimeters of construction sites;
• Zoning inside the site;
• Barriers for road and repair work;
• Fences for cottages, private houses, sports grounds, markets, parking lots, parks, gardens and other objects;
• Finishing work (reinforcement);
• Heat and noise insulation of facade systems;
• Reinforcement of walls, floors, ceilings, columns and other structures;
• Reinforcement during facing works with stone and tile;
• Shielding radiators and ventilation grilles;
• Production of cages, enclosures and pens.

Rabbit дешевле сварной решетки, так как ее производство не требует энергоемкой сварки и резки, производится станком в полуавтоматическом или автоматическом режиме.

Важно! Rabbit, в отличие от сварной конструкции, требует наличия рамки, на которую она будет натянута. Это надо учитывать при проектировании ограды, особенно если предстоит работать своими руками.

It is also used to protect the facades and scaffolding, but today for this purpose it is more profitable and more convenient to use plastic mesh.

Plastic mesh

Plastic barriers are increasingly common due to ease of use.

The most advanced material for the arrangement of barrier structures is plastic. Today, for these purposes polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide and other materials are used.

The general distinctive feature of all plastic nets is their lightness, durability, ease of transportation and storage, inertia and cheapness.

Most often, a polymer product is used as a mesh to enclose scaffolding. You can also often find facade nets, products for zoning and access prevention, trapping structures and dust barriers.

Polymer products are easily folded and folded into rolls and coils.

In addition, plastic nets are very popular for fencing sports fields. They are used in stadiums, during races, ski competitions, tennis tournaments, game matches and other sporting events.

In general, plastic products have the following advantages:

• Very light weight, which greatly simplifies the transportation and installation of the material;
• Compact dimensions rolled up. Compared with metal counterparts, plastic products take up much less space in the warehouse and in the truck;
• Resistance to atmospheric precipitation, no corrosion, resistance to pests and rodents, solar radiation and UV radiation;
• High enough strength at a density of about 30 - 50 g / m ?. Facade mesh can withstand the weight of a person.
• Wide range of colors, including bright orange and salad, that allows you to use them as warning signals;
• Reusability without loss of quality.

Important! These properties make it possible to call polymeric materials the best temporary barriers.

Rental of fencing for construction sites in the case of using plastics is much cheaper, since material wear is minimal.

Purpose of construction barriers

Fencing high-rise building facades is especially important from a security point of view.

Why do we need building fences? This is not only an obstacle for thieves and onlookers, it is an important element of security.

Facade nets and fences for scaffolding, as well as other types, perform the following functions:

1. Prevent falling tools, building materials, scraps and debris from falling outside the working area of ​​the construction site, which reduces the risk of injury to workers, passersby and unauthorized people;
2. Prevent the penetration of debris and dust outside the object, which is very important when building in residential areas and on city streets;
3. Simplify garbage collection and save time;
4. They make it difficult for unauthorized persons, children, onlookers, thieves and other undesirable subjects to enter the work area;
5. They block the movement of vehicles during the repair and construction work on the roads.

Catching nets save the lives of workers and bystanders.

Tip! Plastic fence nets are conveniently used for zoning the internal territory of construction sites, since they are clearly visible and quite simple to install.

Obstacles for forests and objects where they carry out high-altitude work, provides instructions on the organization of construction sites and working areas. Such objects are considered dangerous and subject to fencing on a mandatory basis.

Conclusion

The use of fences for building sites is a must. They serve for security and can save more than one life, in addition, they help limit the access of strangers to the work area. In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic.
