Safety & Protection

Armco, corner guards, column protectors, kerbs — the gear that absorbs hits so your building doesn't.

AS/NZS Compliant

Fully Insured

After-hours Available

What's included

The scope, in detail.

Buildings get expensive when concrete columns, ramp walls and corners take repeated impacts. We install the impact-rated products that catch the hit first — armco crash barriers along ramps, hi-vis foam-and-steel column protectors, sacrificial corner guards on tight turns.

Armco crash barriers (galvanised)

Column protectors (foam-rebound)

Corner guards & wall protection

Concrete kerbs & edging

Fall-arrest railings

Bollard guards around plant

Loading-dock bumpers

Common questions

Safety & Protection, answered.

Do armco barriers actually work in car parks?

Yes, where vehicles can reach 15+ km/h — basement ramps, loading dock approaches, vehicle access lanes. They redirect a vehicle along the barrier line rather than letting it strike a column or wall. For sub-10 km/h, bollards are sufficient.

What's a column protector?

A foam-rebound or polyethylene sleeve installed around a structural column to absorb impact. Comes in hi-vis yellow/black. Foam protectors compress on impact and return to shape — no replacement needed for minor strikes.

Do I need fall protection on a car park ramp?

Yes if there's a drop over 1m at any edge — armco barrier or solid wall to AS 1657. We supply and install both galvanised armco and powder-coated steel guard rails.

How long do anti-slip stair nosings last?

The aluminium extrusion lasts the life of the stair. The grip insert (carborundum or rubber) typically lasts 5–8 years in a busy commercial setting before requiring replacement.

Can corner guards be branded?

Yes — custom powder-coat colours, or printed adhesive overlays for branded environments. Standard hi-vis (yellow with black diagonals) remains the highest-visibility option.

What impact rating do I need for crash barriers?

For private car parks: TL-1 to TL-2 (low-speed). For loading docks and vehicle interfaces: TL-2. For roadway interfaces: TL-3 or higher. We specify based on the use case.
