Buffers for Biffa

The facility was built as part of a 25-year contract with West Sussex County Council to reduce the amount of non-recycled ‘black bag’ household rubbish West Sussex sends to landfill.

The approach road is lined with barriers mounted on planted rigid posts concreted into the ground while the weighbridge is separated from pedestrian areas by barriers mounted on rigid posts bolted to the surface with integral pedestrian handrails and protective mesh.

In areas where there is insufficient room for a surface mounted barrier, Berry’s wall mounted WH spring steel buffers and Berry Beams have been installed. These mounting brackets not only save space but also ‘give’ a little on impact to spread the load, protect the wall from the full force of the collision and minimise damage to the wall, the barrier and the vehicle.
