Frequently Asked Questions
What are Armco barriers used for?
Armco barriers are used to create steel barrier runs around areas exposed to vehicle movement. Typical applications include car parks, warehouses, loading bays, service yards and industrial sites. The correct system depends on the vehicle risk, site layout, installation method and required performance.
What components are needed for an Armco barrier system?
A system will usually require beams, support posts and connecting bolts. It may also need corners, curved sections, end treatments, floor anchors or other fittings. The exact component quantities depend on the length and layout of the barrier run.
How do I calculate how much Armco barrier I need?
Measure the length of each run and record any corners, curves, openings and exposed ends. The HERMEQ Armco Calculator can help select components for a straightforward layout, but the output should be checked against the final site plan and installation requirements.
Should I use bolt-down or dig-in posts?
Bolt-down posts may be suitable where there is an appropriate existing base for mechanical anchors. Dig-in posts are installed below ground in a suitable foundation. The substrate, ground conditions and required system performance should determine the installation method.
Which Armco barrier end should I choose?
HERMEQ supplies fish tail ends and pedestrian safety ends. Selection depends on the location of the exposed end, surrounding pedestrian movement, orientation and system design. Confirm product compatibility and suitability before ordering.
