Temporary fencing of a construction site: types and features

The territory of the building must be fenced. This is a mandatory requirement for SNiP 3.01.01-85, necessary to ensure the safety of work.

The best solution to this problem is temporary enclosing structures. Their use is governed by GOST number 23407-78.

Construction site fencing

Fencing classification

According to the functional purpose

For this reason, the following temporary construction fences are distinguished:

• Security and security - they are installed in the first place so that unauthorized persons cannot enter the territory of the object. Such constructions can be found not only at construction sites, but also at production sites;
• Protective - needed to protect people from possible traumatic situations. To do this, often use the facade grid. It is able to hold tools, debris and residues of materials falling from scaffolding;

Facade mesh is also a type of temporary fence.

• Signal - are needed to visually highlight the place where any work is being done. This may be a special signal tape, stretched between pins stuck into the ground.

By constructive decision

On this basis, emit panel, rack and panel-rack temporary fencing construction sites. In turn, the panel fence can be solid or sparse. Products of protective and security purposes are only solid.

By design

In accordance with this criterion, temporary fences are divided into two types. The first is a fence with additional elements.

It can be peaks, sidewalks, struts, railings. The second type - without additional elements. It is much cheaper than the previous one and is therefore more popular.

Technical requirements for protective fences

General requirements

These are the most important points.

They are as follows:

• Modern fencing structures must strictly comply with the requirements of the state standard, as well as approved samples;
• It is obligatory to have gates necessary for the passage of construction equipment and wickets for people to pass

The presence of the gate and the gate is required

Design requirements

They regulate specific technical features.

Namely:

• All designs must be collapsible and, in addition, have unified connecting elements;
• The height of temporary fences according to GOST is 2m - in the case of protective and protective fences For protective fences without a canopy, this parameter is 1.6 m. With a visor - 2m. The height of the safety barriers of the work sites is set at 1.2m;
• Panels can only be rectangular. Their length, according to the aforementioned GOST, can be 1.2m, 1.6 or 2.0m;
• The gaps in the pavement cover should not be more than 5 mm;
• Peaks and sidewalks are made in the form of separate elements having a rectangular shape;
• Protective visor should have a lifting angle equal to 20 degrees. At the same time, the ascent is made towards the road.

Plastic construction fencing

general characteristics

In certain cases are quite suitable option. In addition, they are very affordable, because their price is low. Sometimes they can even replace the usual designs of metal, slate or wood.

Indeed, unlike them, plastic fencing does not require significant expenditure of effort and money. To use a special technique is not necessary. As well as not need a whole team of workers for installation.

These fences are a polymeric plastic network of bright color. Thanks to the catchy color, it is clearly visible on the ground.

This fence is clearly visible even from afar.

To build such a fence, you will need the grid itself, as well as plastic milestones. You can additionally purchase rubber coasters.

This will install the entire structure on a rigid base. At the same time for the installation of any instructions will not be required. After all, the assembly process is extremely simple and does not present any difficulties.

Tip! In order to increase strength, the upper and lower edges of such a fence can be reinforced with wire. But for this, its thickness must be at least 4 mm.

Benefits

Plastic fences have the following advantages:

• Low cost - plastic is much cheaper than other materials. The estimate for a temporary fencing device will be seriously reduced if you opt for a plastic variant;
• Durability - this material is not afraid of moisture. It does not rot and does not rust. Can be used at ambient temperatures from -40? up to +60 ?. In addition, it does not fade in the sun, as it is resistant to ultraviolet rays;
• Unsatisfactory care - plastic fence does not need to be painted and does not need to be treated with anti-corrosion protection;
• Convenience in operation - only one person can install and dismantle the fence. After all, these fences are installed as easy as plastic nets for fencing sports fields.

Conclusion

Depending on the specific situation, certain types of temporary fences can be used. If we are talking about large-scale construction, then these will be solid protective and security structures.

Such structures can most often be observed near large construction sites.

For smaller jobs, even simpler options are suitable, including plastic mesh. And to acquire such fences is not necessary.

Because at present such service as rent of fencing for building sites has become widespread. If we talk about short work, then this measure will save a lot of money.

Simple fences, such as plastic, it is quite possible to easily assemble with your own hands. No special tools or technology are needed for this. (See also the article PVC fences: types and features)
