Choosing the Right Barrier for Your Site

Share on

When it comes to keeping people safe and maintaining clear boundaries, choosing the right barrier can make all the difference.

At GHL, we offer both Construction Barriers and Crowd Control Barriers, each designed for different applications but with the same goal - creating safer, more organised sites.

Construction Barriers – Ideal for Hazard Delineation

Construction Barriers are specifically designed for worksites where hazards need to be clearly identified and access restricted. Standing at 1.25m high, they provide a visible physical barrier while remaining easy to install & relocate when required. The high-visibility orange mesh helps clearly identify hazardous areas, while the interlocking design keeps barriers securely connected.

Common applications include:

Excavations and open trenches
Pedestrian diversion around works
Temporary work zones
Maintenance and service areas
Civil and infrastructure projects
Roading works

Crowd Control Barriers – Managing People Safely

Crowd Control Barriers are designed to manage pedestrian movement and create safe, organised spaces at events, public works and busy sites. Their interlocking design helps maintain barrier lines, while the flat feet improve stability and reduce trip hazards.

Common applications include:

Events and festivals
Queue management
Public walkways
Sporting events
Site entrances and exits

Which Barrier is Right for You?

If your goal is to separate people from hazards on an active worksite, Construction Barriers are often the best solution. If you need to direct pedestrian traffic or manage crowds, Crowd Control Barriers provide a practical option.
