The most basic and cost effective form of standard guardrail are our unit panel designs which are available as a full height version or a vision gap version. The vision gap version is most commonly used where extra visibility is required, for example at very busy junctions and outside school entrances where perhaps our smaller people need to be easily seen!
We can also tailor the size of the vertical infill bars and horizontal rails to suit the requirements of B.S.7818:1995 class 1,2,3,or 4 loading requirements. The options include a 12mm, 16mm or 20mm diameter solid in-line infill bar, which can also be staggered if added visibility is required. We also offer the option of square infill bars if desired.
We are also able to offer pedestrian parapet systems – most commonly used in locations adjacent to cycle paths or bridleways – where there is a fall risk such that the pedestrian guardrail require extra strength and height.
Standard Pedestrian Guardrail have a 50x30mm rectangular hollow section (RHS) frame, and are supplied in standard bay sizes of 2m and 1m and they stand nominally 1050mm above ground level. Special lengths, radiused and raked panels can also be provided to cater for locations that have a road or pathway incline or decline to consider.
All pedestrian guardrail have full length posts to be concreted in (rooted), however, all of our guardrail can be provided with baseplates for surface mounting.
The basic finish is hot dipped galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461:2009 with options for a polyester powder coated finish available (to BS EN 13483:2005)
