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.
