Product Description
Precast Concrete Hoarding Counterweight
Product Overview
The Precast Concrete Hoarding Counterweight is a structural ballast unit designed to provide overturning resistance for temporary perimeter fencing and solid hoarding systems. In the UAE’s high-wind environment, reliance on sandbags or non-engineered weights poses significant liability risks. Our blocks are engineered to meet Dubai Municipality (DM) requirements for site hoarding stability, ensuring public safety and structural integrity. Compliant with DM Local Order 44 (1990) and Circular 208 for temporary fencing.
These units are compatible with standard galvanized scaffolding tubes and proprietary fencing panels, serving as the foundational anchor for construction site perimeters.
Material Specifications & Quality
- Concrete Grade: C30/37 Mass Concrete.
- Durability: Resistant to sulphate attack and physical abrasion.
- Design Life: 10+ years of repeated site usage.
- Testing: Periodic cube testing to ensure compressive strength compliance.
Key Technical Advantages
- Wind Load Stability: High mass-to-volume ratio ensures fencing remains vertical during gusts exceeding 80 km/h (dependent on panel solidity and spacing). Calculated for open terrain exposure.
- Universal Compatibility: Pre-formed recesses and grooves accept standard Ø48mm scaffold tubes and fencing couplers.
- HSE Compliance: Replaces unsafe, degrading sandbags with a solid, verifiable weight, reducing trip hazards and site debris.
- Rapid Handling: Integrated forklift pockets or lifting hooks facilitate quick deployment and re-sequencing by site telehandlers.
