When it comes to temporary fencing, ensuring its ability to withstand strong winds is crucial. If you need fencing for outdoor events, construction sites, or temporary purposes, it’s important for the fencing to be stable and secure.
An unstable temporary fence installation will likely fall over, resulting in a massive safety hazard. Especially if it falls onto a pedestrian, that can also cause legal complications for the relevant fence suppliers and buyers.
Level 7 Wind Resistance and Temporary Fencing
Australian wind standards for temporary fencing state that the minimum standard AS-4687 is that a fencing installation must withstand a windspeed of 54 km/hr. According to Beaufort number of forces, this is level 7 wind speed.
A higher level of wind resistance is crucial for outdoor events and construction sites, where strong winds can cause safety hazards and property damage.
This is where Lok-Fence™ comes into play.
Lok-Fence™ is certified to face wind conditions up to 170 Km per hour, where it exceeds the level 12 wind resistance. It does not require stabilising supports or additional blocks for standard installation. According to your requirements, additional bracing can be added (system B).
The Lok-Fence™ System
Lok-Fence™ is a patented product and a secure fence system specifically designed to increase the wind resistance of temporary fencing. It is made from a high-strength, lightweight metal yet incredibly durable. This material is also UV resistant, ensuring that Lok-Fence™ will maintain its strength and integrity even in harsh outdoor conditions, making it an essential part of construction fencing.
How Does Lok-Fence™ work?
It works by attaching to the patented Lok-Fence™ bracket and ground screw to the bottom of temporary fencing panels, creating a secure connection for each panel. This connection is what gives Lok-Fence™ its strength and wind resistance. The patented design of Lok-Fence™ allows it to flex and move with the fencing panels while still maintaining a strong and stable connection. This means the fencing will remain upright and secure even in high winds. Additional wind resistance can be achieved by adding the stabiliser brace.
How Does Lok-Fence™ Wxceed Level 7 Wind Resistance?
Lok-Fence™ achieves level 12 wind resistance through its unique design and material integrated with screwlok technology. The high-strength steel material used in Lok-Fence™ can withstand high winds without breaking or bending. Additionally, the secure connection between fencing panels created by Lok-Fence™ ensures that the panels will not tip over or become dislodged in strong winds.
Benefits of using Lok-Fence™
There are many benefits to using this innovative Lok-Fence™ for your temporary fencing needs. Some of these include:
Efficient Installation
Installing Lok-Fence™ is straightforward. It can be easily added to temporary or semi-permanent fencing. A Single piece of equipment like A High Torque Impact Wrench is required but can differ according to the requirements. Before installation, The specialised SiteTech team can provide pre-installation site visits, perimeter measuring and load testing services.
Increased Wind Resistance
As mentioned, Lok-Fence™ exceeds level 12 wind resistance, giving certified wind resistance up to 170 km/hr, making it ideal for high wind construction sites and events. Furthermore, Lok-Fence™ designs the wind load calculations for the clients who purchase the product.
Currently, we are trailing Lok-Fence™ with Kingfence’s patented advertising billboard system mounted to give maximum wind resistance that delivers the ultimate branding message.
Cost-Effective
Lok-Fence™ is a cost-effective solution for increasing the wind resistance of temporary fencing. It is also easily removable, and reusable fence panels make it a sustainable option for your fencing needs.
Locked & Secure
Commonly, fence panels not securely installed to the ground can be stolen overnight. Lok-Fence™ has a robust and secure foundation that prevents unsolicited tampering. While being fully locked and anchored to the ground also eliminates the risk of fallen fences. A secure site also reduces the risk of equipment being stolen from the site by robbers.
Versatility in Fixing Options
Lok-Fence™ is compatible with three ground-fixing options – soil, concrete, and asphalt. Soil fixing is the main option, whereas they fix concrete and asphalt grounds in the UK. These options range from galvanised ground screws to metal anchor bolts combined with a chemical anchor resin to ensure high durability and ease of fixing.
Zero Trip Solution
Due to its compact design, the system enables Temporary Fence Panels to be installed and secured within a small footprint. Traditional concrete blocks will often protrude onto the footpath, creating a trip hazard, whilst Lok-Fence™ can be installed without the need to extend on the pavements.
Lok-Fence™ is a game-changing safe fence product for increasing the wind resistance of temporary fencing and securing your site. Its innovative design makes it a reliable and cost-effective solution for any temporary fencing installation. Contact our experienced Trade team today. If you want to ensure the stability and security of your temporary fencing, consider using Lok-Fence™.
