Hardstaff Barriers Publish Guide To Respond To The Challenges And Solutions Faced By UK Ports, During The Busy Brexit Period

Hardstaff Barriers has provided a handy guide to the challenges and solutions faced by UK (United Kingdom) ports, during the busy Brexit transition period. The guide offers the top 10 considerations for Port Traffic Management.

Top 10 considerations for Port Traffic Management include:

• Traffic Flow – Creating effective movement of traffic around ports

Key to effective operations is ensuring freight is moved in and around ports with minimal disruption, our range of barriers provide a solution to this challenge.

• Traffic Safety – Ensuring site speed limits are adhered to with signage and traffic management

With the careful placement of barriers and any speed restriction signage, routes can easily be created to calm the speed of traffic.

• Safe Spaces – Creating safe working areas where close to traffic

With 24/7 port operations and working site teams, it is imperative that operatives have safe areas segregated from traffic and Hardstaff Barriers offer a range of solutions in this regard, including high visibility fencing and barriers to keep your team safe.

• Pedestrianization – Creating safe areas for people flow close to traffic

Creating safe areas for people flow is where the company’s MASS products, such as Pedestrian Guard area, are ideal for and excel in.

• Access – Securing ports areas and preventing unauthorized vehicle access

Hardstaff Barriers supply and install a range of gates, in order to secure areas from unwanted vehicles, especially where safety or security may be an issue.

• Temporary traffic schemes – Flexible movement of traffic where changes are needed within ports

With busy port operations, the ability to quickly and effectively re-route and manage traffic is key, the company’s range of products are designed with temporary road schemes in mind.

• Car Parks – Ability to direct and manage access for visitors users of the ports and car parking

With high visitor numbers, managing and maintaining car parking spaces in ports can be achieved with support from the company’s barriers and gates.

• Control – Control freight traffic for port authorities and checks

With Brexit and the emphasis on additional port checks, freight traffic can be directed and managed with port authorities.

• Signage – Use of traffic management signage to direct traffic

The company’s barriers can be used with appropriate TSRGD signage to direct and advise port traffic.

• Delineation – Options to define specific areas and facilities within a port – new car parks, truck loading, inspections, etc.

Hardstaff Barriers have barriers that provide either permanent or temporary delineation, where port areas may have specific roles and need an element of separation, especially where HGV traffic needs to be segregated from port Plant & Machinery.
