Mergon’s Barrier system allows for pedestrian walkways to be easily organised, monitored and controlled. As a one piece design, the barriers are easily connected and have stacking features which ensures they can be transported from location to location. The Mergon Barrier system was tested under strict conditions to determine it’s wind speed resilience.

Features:

• Certified to highest quality standards : ISO 9000, ISO 14001 and ISO 13485.
• Can accommodate 2 types of courtesy sign.
• Manufactured from virgin high density polythene.
• All Mergon folding barriers come with anti trip feet as standard.

Wind Resistance Testing:

Below are the results and guides as to the recommended ballast weight for each different wind class:

• Class C with no ballast required.
• Class B with 40Kg ballast required.
• Class A with 80Kg ballast required.

All temporary traffic barriers must be able to withstand three different classes of wind speeds with the use of ballast. The standard BS 8442:2006 states the three classes. As the following:

• Class A 26.3 m/s (58mph).
• Class B 17.6 m/s (39mph).
• Class C 8.7 m/s (19mph) - The Beaufort scale describes Class C as: “Gentle breeze. Leaves and twigs in constant motion. Wind extends a light flag”.

Overview

Traffic calming speed bump.

Calm traffic where it matters

The EnduraRamp slows down traffic at your worksite, school or wherever traffic calming is required. This speed hump is durable and easy to install.

Hide and protect cables

Capable of running a 22mm diameter pipe or cable through the EnduraRamp.

Hi-visibility that lasts

Our EnduraRamps come in black and yellow. We do not paint or spray our speed bumps as the material is coloured, so the colour will not fade.

Features & Advantages

• Colour does not fade
• Dog bone locators help to align the ramps during installation
• Hi-vis white reflectors in each section
• Suitable for 44 tonnes vehicles
• Designed to be installed on good condition concrete or asphalt surfaces that are at least 100mm deep
• Bumps contain a recess underneath to take a cable/pipe approx. 22mm diameter

Overview

Guarding manholes

The SafeGate barrier is designed for use around temporary excavations and commonly used in the communications industry.

Portable

The SafeGate Barrier is small enough to fit in the back of a van, which is ideal for 1 person worksites. It is very lightweight and can be erected in seconds.

NEW SafeBase

Add the new SafeBase to your SafeGate for total stability. Each base weighs 2.6kg. The SafeGate passes wind loading category A (59 mph wind) when 1 SafeBase is applied each SafeGate in a 4Way square configuration.

Various configurations

The 3 Way SafeGate (2.25 meter) and 4 Way SafeGate (3 meter) are also commonly used for manhole repairs, cable laying and temporary access restrictions.

Features & Advantages

• A set of 3 (2.25 meter) or 4 (3 meter) hi-vis, hinged gates
• Lightweight: each gate weighs just 2kg
• Use alongside SafeBase for Cat A wind loading
• Easy transport and compact storage
• Compliant with Chapter 8 Street Works
• Suitable for restricted access sites, such decorating or cleaning work
• Modular design for various configurations
• Hinged clips for quick and easy assembly
• Integral locking clamp for stability when barriers are deployed in a straight line
• Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Designed and manufactured in the UK
• 100% recyclable
