Technical Resource Hub

Tower Temporary Fencing provides practical technical guidance for temporary fencing, site security, bracing, scrim, wind exposure, public-interface risks, and construction-site safety in New Zealand. These resources are written from civil construction and site-delivery experience to help contractors, event organisers, project managers, and PCBUs understand the factors that affect temporary fencing performance. 

These technical resources are written by Joseph Knights, BE(Hons) Civil Engineering, Project Manager, with civil construction and site safety experience. These resources provide practical temporary fencing, site security and health and safety guidance for common site conditions. The guidance is general in nature and does not substitute manufacturer requirements, worksite reviews, or site-specific engineering design where required.
