Industrial protections
Car park protections
A car park is where the least experienced drivers on your site meet the structure holding the building up, usually in reverse. Bollards, wheel stops, column protection and barriers keep the two apart, and keep the damage in components that unbolt.
What protection changes here
Car park protection is built to take impacts, which is the whole of its job: barriers, bollards and column guards absorb the energy that would otherwise go into a wall, a column or a parked vehicle, and they mark the edges of the space clearly enough that most collisions never happen.
The result is fewer repairs to structural elements, less time spent working around damage, and a car park that still looks like a working site after five winters rather than a scarred one.
Where it usually goes
The same equipment is specified differently depending on what the space is for and who drives through it. The common cases are these.
- Warehouse and distribution centre car parks, where vans and lorries share the space with staff on foot.
- Manufacturing site parking, where the traffic is regular and the pinch points are always the same.
- Loading bay access routes, where the car park and the operational yard meet and the vehicles are largest.
- Staff and visitor parking, where the drivers do not know the site.
- Multi-storey column protection, where an impact reaches the structure directly.
Specified for the space it is in
The protection has to suit the risk rather than the plan: a logistics yard needs something a visitor car park does not, and the position of the columns usually decides the layout more than the parking bays do.
Rejuva supplies and installs the whole range, from parking bollards and wheel stops to barriers and column guards, and specifies it so that the car park meets the safety requirements without turning into an obstacle course.
Appearance is part of it too. The car park is what a visitor sees before anything else on the site, and protection that is well set out reads as a building that is looked after.
Protection for every point that gets hit
Each of these covers one kind of impact, and most sites need three or four of them rather than all six. Which ones follows from where the damage is already showing.
Two places worth walking through first
A warehouse and a car park fail in different ways, so it is worth reading the whole of one before choosing individual products.
