Tri-Guard® railings; timber chevron panels
Jackson Fencing's Tri-Guard® railings with timber chevron panels have been specified on a Welsh government-backed transport project.
Challenge
To help open up Swansea’s River Tawe corridor for further development, Swansea City Council is developing Morfa Distributor Road, a major transport link benefiting both the local community and the economic welfare of the area.
With the Council’s ambitions to turn the area into a reinvigorated residential and commercial space, ensuring people are safe from entering traffic is high on this project’s priorities.
Solution
Tri-Guard® railings with timber chevron panels were selected to secure the sides of the road.
Tri-Guard® fencing has innovative features, including strong anti-climb and scale performance and an aesthetically pleasing appearance – ideal attributes for this project.
Outcome
Mike Jenkins from South Wales Fencing, the company responsible for installing the fencing, said that "Jacksons Fencing products were a great choice for this project. Their well-thought-out design meant that installation was very straightforward and quick, allowing for the project to be completed ahead of schedule."
