Barriers installed at new morrisons' rdc

The new Morrisons RDC at Bridgwater provides 71,000m2 of warehousing.

DLA Architecture specified 2.5km of safety barriers from Berry Systems to protect people, plant and equipment at the site. This specification met the approval of Morrisons and main contractor, Bowmer & Kirkland.

Just over 1.5km of barrier has been installed inside the warehouse and almost 1km outside. Interior locations included almost 800m of Berry's Spring Steel Buffers on which a small 'warehouse rail' is mounted below a standard barrier rail to provide protection to pedestrian walkways from forklift trucks and other warehouse vehicles. The lower rail prevents forks penetrating into the walkway below the standard barrier.

A further 600m of Barrier rails were fitted down to ground level, 100m at the standard 610mm height and 24m of Berry's special double rail design in the frozen foods warehouse.
