When Port Otago needed additional protection for both pedestrians and vehicles in their new carpark, they knew just who to call.
As part of a significant upgrade to surrounding land and infrastructure, including the construction of a newly built company carpark, Port Otago sought safety solutions for a variety of applications. The carpark, which spans different levels and is adjacent to a busy road with a high volume of heavy transport traffic, posed unique safety challenges. The existing combination of concrete walls and steel fencing simply didn’t feel secure enough.
Working closely with Port Otago’s management team, we designed a tailored safety system that incorporated Tru-Gard bollards, handrails, and barriers, providing an extra layer of safety for both pedestrians and vehicles. These solutions were strategically positioned to protect vulnerable areas and direct traffic safely, enhancing the overall safety of the site.
Bromley Taylor, Safety Solutions Expert at Tru-Gard, commented on the importance of safety in environments like Port Otago:
“Safety is something we take seriously from the moment an employee steps onto a site. In high-traffic, multi-level environments, like this carpark, it’s essential to put the right safety measures in place from the very beginning—before employees even start their day. By working together with Port Otago, we were able to create a comprehensive safety system that significantly reduces the risk of accidents, ensuring that everyone on-site is protected.”
This collaborative approach allowed Port Otago to ensure their carpark met the highest safety standards, providing peace of mind to both staff and visitors. Find out more about how our bollards, hand-rails and barriers can create a safer working environment for your team. Contact us today.
