Construction Site Hoarding

Essential support for communicative and decorative construction site hoarding

The primary purpose of construction site hoarding is to enclose the work area to ensure the safety of pedestrians. It is the first visible element of your project. Celize advises and assists you in choosing and implementing the appropriate hoarding solution for your project.

Wooden construction site hoarding

There are several types of wooden hoardings, depending on whether they are for outdoor or indoor use. Each wooden panel forming the construction site hoarding serves as a support for construction communication. Among the different types of wooden hoardings, the project manager or contractor can choose from various panel types. The structure will vary based on the duration and use of the construction site.

The CTBX wood panel is suitable for outdoor use. Another type of wooden panel to consider is pine wood. Pine wood is an excellent option for creating an eco-friendly hoarding. To secure the hoardings in the ground, operators use wooden beams when the ground permits, or concrete anchoring when necessary. Wooden hoardings are also an interesting solution for outdoor communication.

Wooden construction site hoarding dresses up the site and can be communicative:
- Printing on wooden panels
- Involvement of street art artists to paint on the hoarding…

Mobilize: Mobile communicative hoarding

In certain circumstances, it is necessary to move the hoarding regularly.

The principle of mobile hoarding is to be able to move it without pouring concrete. By default, some project managers use wire mesh barriers.

For a mobile hoarding dedicated to communication, there are now innovative solutions that combine mobility with communication supports (dibond, PVC, or wood). Just like a Heras hoarding, the mobile hoarding is also communicative, combining security with communication.

Corrugated metal hoarding and wire mesh fencing

The most common site solutions are corrugated metal hoarding, called anti-poster hoarding, and wire mesh fencing.

Corrugated metal hoarding

These are lacquered metal panels with waves to prevent posting. The primary structure (posts, crossbeams, beams, etc.) and the method of fixing vary based on site constraints.

To dress up this type of hoarding, rigid printed panels are fixed directly onto the structure.

Wire mesh fencing

Mobile fencing or wire mesh barriers are a cost-effective solution. They do not facilitate high-quality dress up but can meet temporary needs.

For communicating on mobile site barriers, flexible supports like banners are recommended (e.g., printed banners) for safety reasons. Since the barrier is not fixed to the ground, even light winds can cause the barrier to fall. An alternative to mobile wire mesh barriers is the communicative mobile hoarding: Mobilize.

Slatted construction site hoarding

Slatted hoarding comes in different materials:

Regardless of the chosen product (steel or aluminum), each hoarding module consists of slats that fit together, providing a surface supported by a primary structure. Each primary structure consists of beams, rafters, and planks. Concrete footings are necessary for proper structure support.

The dress up support for site communication on slatted hoarding is anti-tag sticker (also known as anti-graffiti stickers). These stickers are simple to install and maintain. This hoarding solution allows for communicative display without visible screws.

Specific features of construction site hoarding

Construction site hoardings can have various options for security and/or aesthetic reasons.

Additions can include: a door, a gate, a viewport, lighting, relief…

The door allows access to the site. The gate allows trucks to enter the site. Some wish to make the construction activity visible from the outside. To achieve this, a viewport or multiple viewports are necessary. A viewport is an opening in the hoarding to view the construction activity.

Hoarding Installation

Technical Specifications:

Construction site fences or hoardings must be installed in a way that maintains pedestrian traffic. If this is not possible due to the nature of the work or site configuration, pedestrian traffic must be redirected to the opposite sidewalk using temporary, regulatory vertical and horizontal signage.

Access for residents, the operation of nearby businesses, and vehicle traffic should not be obstructed.

Installation on removable concrete supports without ground anchoring should be prioritized. Perforated fences like “Vite Clos, Heras” or similar are preferred over solid panels.

If solid panels are used, they must be:

Of a color and type approved by the Service (and by the Architect of French Buildings in protected areas).
Covered with a small mesh galvanized wire to prevent posters.
Treated with an anti-graffiti coating.

The fence or hoarding must be clearly marked and signaled both day and night.

In specific cases where the protection of the site, other public road users, or certain structures require it, the installation of prefabricated concrete separators like GBA may be imposed.

Administrative Requirements:

The occupation of public space may be subject to the payment of road rights depending on the situation.

Installing a construction site fence or hoarding on public property requires prior authorization. This request must be submitted 10 days before the planned installation date. Incomplete applications will be systematically rejected.
