Pedestrian fencing: basic types of structures

Pedestrian fencing is presented in the form of a structure used for the barrier between the road and pedestrian. It is necessary in every city, especially wherever there are many cars. Barriers regulate the course of transport, as well as protect against accidents. There are various pedestrian fences. GOST includes the basic requirements for these structures

Retaining and limiting fences

According to GOST, there are two main types of fencing: restraining and limiting. Constructions are created in modern factories. Each product has its own characteristics, which makes it possible to use them for specific needs.

Retaining structures are used when the organization of pedestrian traffic across the road is necessary. This will protect people from falling off the bridge. Such fences are presented in the form of crossbeams, racks, sections.

Restrictive fencing pedestrian is installed at the road, so it serves as a barrier from getting a person to the highway. The design serves to protect against accidents, so that pedestrians do not cross the street in the wrong places. For installation, crossbeams, racks, sections are used.

Requirements for fences

In GOST there are requirements to these products. They must be carried out, because the safety of motorists and pedestrians depends on this. The requirements include:

• Dimensions and parameters should be as in the drawings;
• Height is determined by GOST;
• Between the base and the lower crossbar should be no more than 150 mm;
• Between the two parts filling the section, can not be more than 120 mm.

Fencing variants by manufacturing method and material

The fencing of pedestrian crossings can be of different types. The constructions differ in the technology and materials used:

• Cast - a complex manufacturing method, used to create a set of monotonous structures;
• Modular - the method of production, which has a quick installation, a long period of operation and easy maintenance;
• Bolted - fastening of details is carried out by bolts;
• Welded - the welding method is used in the fastening of the elements;
• Combined - the product consists of several types of fences.

Pedestrian fencing is made of different materials. The quality of the structure depends on this. Often used steel, aluminum and its alloys, as well as composite materials.

Constructions of a perigial kind and type "cross"

The product of the perimeter is restrictive and retaining. It is attached to the edges of the sidewalk on bridges or embankments. The structures are present at stops, near underground passages, at intersections. They have vertical filling of sections with elements.

Among the types of products there is a pedestrian perimeter fence of the "cross" type. Its sections are cross-shaped. The structures are used to protect the pedestrian road from the road. Products are used for cultural events, where many people are present. In such cases, mobile fences are necessary to streamline the flow of people so that there is no crush. Pedestrian fencing "cross" is on the sites for riding a bike. Constructions create the safety of movement through the streets.

Characteristics of the construction type "cross"

Pedestrian fencing has the following characteristics:

• Height - not less than 1100 mm for retaining structures;
• Height 800-1000 mm for limiting products;
• Are created on the basis of steel profile pipes by means of welding work;
• Have a galvanized surface.

Stationary and temporary fences

Pedestrian fences are of the following types:

• Stationary are installed for a long period; They are attached at crossroads, near places of rest, shopping centers;
• Temporary easily installed and dismounted many times; Each section is considered independent, since it does not require attachment to the nearest module.

Temporary fences are applied during mass events, in parking lots, during construction work. They protect people from dangers. On the territory of cities there are many types of structures of different types. Each of them performs its functions, but in any case they serve to ensure security.
