Both the post and the base are non-conductive for an extra layer of safety.

Traditional products aren't always able to achieve the best results in today's modern world... 🚧

This is why we value innovation.

For instance, one of our newest products offers a modern alternative to traditional metal fencing.

The V-Fence Pedestrian Barrier stands tall at 2m, with quality materials that are made to last.

What sets this modern version of a traditional barrier apart is:
• A non-conductive panel
• A reflective panel that confirms to Chapter 8 requirements
• Pre-manufactured holes to attach permit and courtesy signs as required

These innovative design changes reduce the potential for injuries to the workforce or public. It's also easy to handle and frees up time among teams on-site.

Discover the 3D model and full list of features here: https://www.melbaswintex.co.uk/vfence

Are you ready to see the new standard in urban traffic management?

The Melba Swintex Urban Sign System has officially launched🚦

Our latest innovation is now ready to revolutionise urban traffic control.

Hassle-free installation is at the core of its design. Whether you're dealing with one or two posts, the Urban Sign ensures the setup of sign faces with 300mm and 450mm hole centres is a breeze.

Stability is another key aspect we've prioritised. You won't need to worry about shaky signs or toppling barriers. The Urban Sign Base firmly stacks, allowing the use of multiple bases.

Plus, we understand space is a luxury in urban areas. That's why the Urban Sign Post is compatible with a wide assortment of existing bases. Combine the Urban Sign with our other products like our V-Fence for an optimised, space-conscious traffic management solution.

The Urban Sign Post and Base don't just control traffic, they can also become an emblem of your brand, thanks to the customisable colours and the opportunity for corporate branding.

Upgrade your sign posts and bases with the Urban Sign System by Melba Swintex.

23/05/2024

A frequently overlooked hazard in temporary fencing is the detachment of mesh from its frame.

Loose or detached mesh can result in severe injuries, both to workers handling the barriers and to the public walking past.

A barrier that's also not fully intact can fail to secure a site properly, potentially permitting unauthorised access or allowing debris to escape into public areas.

And it's not just about the safety. Think about the costs!

The replacement or repair of detached mesh not only incurs direct costs but can also lead to project delays.
