At Sizewell C, the existing hooped pedestrian gate system posed significant safety and operational issues. These gates were typically free-standing and separate from the RB22 (or equivalent) water-filled barriers, which resulted in a range of health and safety concerns, including:
– Frequent Gate Tipping
– Baseplate Buckling & Structural Failure
– Visibility Issues for Road Users & Pedestrians
– Inadequate Impact Resistance
– Structural Weaknesses
– Limited Lifespan
The solution is the BryFour GateTM Innovation which securely integrates hooped pedestrian gates with the RB22 (or equivalent) water-filled barrier system, eliminating the risks of unstable, freestanding gates. This advanced Connection Post System enhances safety by preventing gates from tipping, improving visibility, and securing the barrier system in the event of vehicle impact, therefore reducing injury risks for pedestrians and vehicles
Unlike traditional setups, the BryFour GateTM prevents misalignment and uncontrolled swinging, ensuring a stable, balanced fit. A rubber pad reduces noise and impact when closing, while an upgraded hinge minimizes wear and extends the gate’s lifespan. With enhanced strength, safety, and durability, BryFour GateTM delivers a reliable and long-lasting pedestrian access solution.
This innovation completely redefines pedestrian gate systems, offering a safer, stronger, and more efficient alternative for high-risk construction sites.
Three Winning Facts:
- Reduction in Gate-Related Incidents
- Lower Maintenance Costs & Longer Lifespan
- Improved Pedestrian & Traffic Flow
