A guide to construction site hoardings installation
If you look at a typical construction site, one of the first things you will notice is the hoardings.
They are used for privacy and safety purposes, but also to promote the company that is doing the work. This blog will provide a quick guide to installing them.
Layout planning
The first step is to map out where on the site the hoardings will go. Factors that must be considered that include making sure they do not block exits and entry points. You will also have to comply with regulations regarding the size and layout of the hoardings.
Materials and design
Construction hoardings must be made from hard-wearing materials like vinyl or PVC. That way, they can cope with the variable British weather.
People will walk past them every day, so the design is crucial. It must promote your company in a positive way.
Setting them up
The hoardings need to be stable, or they will pose a safety risk. Their base should be secured using either posts or concrete, levelling the ground if necessary.
When the foundations are secure, the panels can be fitted into place. Bolt them tightly together alongside each other. Finally, add firm gates with locks that the workers will use for getting in and out of the site.
Hire a professional
The job of planning, designing and installing hoardings properly is a complicated one. Hiring a professional will help you to avoid any problems.
