Chapter 8 barriers form a reliable barrier system for anyone who needs to separate pedestrians, traffic and work areas on a live site. Each barrier is built from tough high density polyethylene and is manufactured to BS EN 8442, the standard covering blow moulded barriers, along with the reflectivity requirements of BS EN 12899-1 and Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual. That combination of standards gives you a barrier system with the incredible strength and durability you need for demanding street works and road works schemes across the UK.
Every Chapter 8 barrier stands freely on 360 degree swivel feet, so you can position it without digging in a base or relying on fixings. The barrier to barrier connection is quick and secure even on uneven ground, which makes linking a long run of Crowd Control Barriers around an excavation or a pedestrian route straightforward for your team. There are no screws or rivets involved, so barriers go up and come down fast when a work area changes shape.
You will find Chapter 8 barriers doing the heavy lifting on road works and street works schemes, around construction site perimeters, at event crowd control points and along temporary pedestrian routes near utility works and excavations. The barrier measures 2000mm long, 1000mm high and 50mm wide, weighing 10.3kg in the standard version or 8.9kg in the no trip foot variant. Custom colours and company branding are available, so these pedestrian barriers can also carry your site identification while they work. Pair your barrier run with a Barrier Ballast 10 or a 14kg Barrier Ballast Block for extra stability in exposed conditions, and add a Reflective Strip to keep the barrier visible after dark.
