It doesn’t matter whether you are a Business owner or operator, we all want one thing for our customers that is- security, right? Whether in a car park or on a construction site, traffic barriers are literally so important nowadays that we cannot neglect them.There are so many factors we have to keep in mind and below are some of the most important factors that you should consider while doing Parking Barrier Installation
“We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday’s burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it factorial non.” Delbart Calibo
Important Points to Consider While Planning to Set Up the Parking Barrier
1. Location
You have to understand, that normal generalised parking barriers are not meant for every place, you should know the location and then let the professional company know so that they set your parking barrier with quality material, size, and all the requirements that your location is demanding.
2. Purpose and Objective
Consider the types of vehicles and users (residents, employees, visitors) that will be affected by the barrier.Define the primary reason for setting up the barrier (e.g., controlling access, preventing unauthorized parking, reserving spaces).
3. Types Of Barriers
You want to set up the barrier but what exactly type of barrier do you want to set up, do you want Bollard Barriers, or do you want a boom barrier or just a sliding gate. Whatever you choose, remember that every barrier plays a different role like boom barriers are mostly used for controlling vehicle access.
4. Material
What material do you want in your barrier installation, is it steel or aluminium or do you prefer plastic? Every material is different and hence has different benefits, for example- if you choose steel barrier then it will provide strength and durability but on the other hand, if you choose plastic material it will be cost-effective and lightweight and used for the short term.
5.Control Mechanism
When someone standing outside the parking area, how do you want to give him access, do you want to go for a manual control mechanism where after proper verification of the person, the security guard of your company will open the gate for him or do you want automatic control mechanism where sensors will do the work for you, or you don’t want to pay the security guard and want to save that expense then you should go for remote control mechanism where you do manual opening the door from the distance, for example, sitting at your office table.
6. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Ensure the barrier complies with local zoning laws, safety regulations, and accessibility standards.Obtain any necessary permits or approvals from local authorities before installation.
7. Maintenance and Durability
Choose high-quality materials that can withstand wear, weather conditions, and high traffic.Establish a routine maintenance schedule to keep the barrier functioning properly and prevent long downtimes.
8. User Experience
Design the system for ease of use, especially for drivers in busy or congested areas.Provide clear signage and instructions to guide users, and make sure the barrier operates smoothly without frequent breakdowns.
