Barrier Solutions

We have extensive experience of installing all types of permanent and temporary safety fencing.

Since April 2005 and the introduction of EN1317, designers now specify what containment class and working width they require and it is the safety fencing contractors responsibility to select the most appropriate proprietary system for their requirements. 

This may be using wire rope, open box, corrugated profile beams or proprietary systems, but it is our responsibility as contractor to choose an appropriate system.

We are an approved installer for all the proprietary systems accepted by National Highways, so can readily propose the best system for any given circumstance; in addition, we can offer assistance with determining safety barrier proposals in accordance with CD377.

We are able to undertake most types of noise abatement fencing.

Fences can be made from timber (painted or plain treated), metals such as steel or aluminium or recycled plastic. We have an exceptionally good working relationship with our timber merchants, steel fabricators and plastic extruders which, with the support of specialist designers, enables us to offer custom or bespoke fences to our clients.

We offer traditional timber noise barrier either as reflective or absorptive systems ranging from 1.2m to 4.0m in height. Both systems (reflective and absorptive) have been laboratory tested and all the panels are produced in the UK by an FSC certified company and have a minimum design life of 25 years.

As an alternative, we offer an innovative plastic system made from 60% recycled materials (principally recycled carpets). This system is available either as a reflective or absorptive solution and has a minimum design life of 40 years, this coupled with its sustainability credentials and its resistance to permanent graffiti damage makes it an exciting system to promote.

Whatever your requirements are, please feel free to contact us via barriersolutions@corehighways.com or 0330 043 3030 and we will be happy to discuss proposals to meet your needs.

We install all types of Highways Specification fences including timber post and rail fencing and chainlink fencing.

Off highway, the recent increase in crime and vandalism has dictated the need for a secure perimeter fencing system.

Steel palisade provides a high level of protection at a reasonable cost and is increasingly seen by owner and insurance company alike as a high quality cost-effective solution.

The forbidding appearance and inherent strength of the pales provide an effective deterrent to would be intruders. It is available in a choice of head styles, both in traditional ‘D’ pale profile, and ‘W’ section pale for added security.

Palisade is offered in a range of heights up to 3.6 meters, and is self-adjusting to slopes of up to 1 in 3.

Palisade is available in a range of finishes, galvanised in BS 729, or galvanised and colour coated in various colours to blend with the environment.

We also install powder coated mesh panel (paladin) fencing which offers security whilst not being as industrial in appearance as palisade. This is an ideal product for perimeter fencing around schools and multi-use game areas.

In addition to mesh panel fencing we offer ball stop fencing up to 8m high for use around playing fields and pitches to prevent stray balls leaving the field.
