Bollards & balustrades
May 1st 2010 The new Co-op Composite
Distribution Centre in County
Durham covers 25,600m2 and
supplies products to 262 Costores
in the North of England.
Walkways are separated
wherever possible by heavy
duty steel balustrades to
protect staff, and plant and
equipment is protected by
the careful siting of bollards,
fork lift truck wheel guides,
racking protectors and
column protectors. Height
restrictors are fitted on
internal doorways.Vulnerable
areas are further protected by
double barriers designed to
prevent incursion of forks at
low levels. Outside in the
HGV area, perimeter barriers
are supplemented by speed
ramps and wheel stops.
Berry Systems supplied and
installed the safety barriers,
including Berry's own spring
steel buffers that are designed
and tested to absorb impacts
from cars, HGVs and fork lift
trucks while retaining their
integrity and effectiveness.
More than 3km of safety
barriers and balustrading was
installed. More articles from Berry Systems: |
