Create a site plan to determine how many barriers that you need. Sketch a layout considering crowd flow, access points, and designated areas. Ensure there are enough exits for emergencies. Tip: the Site HQ crowd control barriers are 2.2m long.

FAQs:

Q1: What are crowd control barriers used for?
A1:Crowd control barriers are designed to safely manage pedestrian movement, queueing, and restricted zones during events, roadworks, or construction. They create clear boundaries for safety and organisation, helping keep staff, visitors, and the public protected.

Q2: Are barriers easy to link together?
A2: Yes, the interlocking designs allow quick setup for continuous crowd control runs.

Q3: Are your barriers galvanised or powder-coated?
A3: We offer both galvanised and orange powder-coated options for visibility and corrosion resistance.

Q4. What is the difference between crowd control barriers and temporary fencing?
A4: While both systems provide site security, crowd control barriers are shorter, lighter, and easier to move, ideal for public events and pedestrian areas. Temporary fencing is taller and more robust, designed to secure construction sites or restricted zones. Many sites use both together for complete perimeter control.

Q5. Where can crowd control barriers be used?
A5: Crowd control barriers are suitable for a wide range of uses, including:

Outdoor events and festivals
Sporting venues and concerts
Construction and roadwork pedestrian detours
Public safety zones and queue management
Parking or restricted areas

They’re a flexible, reusable solution.

Q6: How many barriers do I need for my event or site?
A6: Each barrier is typically 2.2 m long. To estimate quantity, divide the total perimeter or area you need to secure by the barrier length, and allow a few extras for corners and entry points. Site HQ can help calculate the ideal number for your layout.

Q7: Are Site HQ crowd control barriers reusable?
A7: Absolutely. Our barriers are built to withstand frequent use, transport, and storage. The galvanised finish resists corrosion, while the interlocking design allows easy redeployment from one event or site to another, maximising long-term value.
