Fences around building sites

Site Safety FencingBuiding Site Fence

Is required to enclose a development site where work is in progress to protect the public from danger and to allow management of access onto the site.

Site safety fencing is usually a condition of the consent and is also a requirement of occupational health and safety administered by work cover.

 

Sediment Fencing

The most efficient and widely accepted sediment barrier for construction sites is a specially manufactured geotextile sediment fence.

Sediment fences act like dams trapping the sediment while allowing water to leave the site. They are effective in retaining suspended solids coarser than 0.02mm. they are simple to construct, relatively inexpensive and easily moved as the development proceeds.
