Why Rail Authorities & Contractors Rely on Fortawall

Ensures Compliance with Rail Safety Standards

Rail sites require fencing that meets strict industry regulations to protect workers, passengers, and infrastructure. Fortawall is fully compliant with:

  • AS1170.2 – Wind Actions for Structural Design
  • AS4687.1:2022 – Temporary Fencing & Hoardings

Designed for High-Risk Rail Environments

Rail corridors and station worksites are high-traffic zones exposed to heavy equipment, moving trains, and extreme conditions. Fortawall’s reinforced structure and enclosed base help reduce hazards in pedestrian areas, track crossings, and work zones, ensuring a safer environment for workers and the public.

Prevents Unauthorised Access & Trespassing

Unsecured rail sites pose serious safety risks, including trespassing, vandalism, and theft. Fortawall’s bolted-in, tamper-proof panels prevent lifting or unauthorised removal, ensuring only authorised personnel can access restricted areas.

Safe for Workers & Pedestrians

Rail projects often take place in high-traffic areas, including train stations, level crossings, and urban corridors. Fortawall’s trip-free enclosed base ensures a safer environment for workers, pedestrians, and station visitors.

Where Fortawall Fencing is Used in Railway Projects

Railway maintenance requires clearly defined work zones to protect crews from live tracks and moving trains. Fortawall’s secure, wind-resistant fencing ensures that track repairs and electrical upgrades can be carried out safely without interruptions or unauthorised access.

Upgrades to railway stations and platforms demand secure perimeters to protect workers, passengers, and ongoing rail operations. Fortawall’s high-visibility, tamper-proof fencing creates a safe, enclosed environment suitable for construction teams, while still allowing controlled access for station staff and commuters.

Level crossing works require strict safety measures to ensure pedestrians and vehicles are kept away from active railway lines. Fortawall’s reinforced fencing system prevents unauthorised crossings, secures temporary detours, and ensures safe foot traffic flow during closures or upgrades.

With its secure base and wind-resistant panels, it remains stable in exposed locations, reducing the risk of fence collapses in high-wind conditions.

In the rare event of a derailment, track failure, or rail accident, securing the area quickly is crucial for public safety and investigation integrity. Fortawall’s rapid deployment fencing system provides immediate site security, preventing unauthorised access to restricted zones and keeping evidence undisturbed.

The strong, tamper-proof structure of Fortawall ensures the site remains secure until investigations or repairs are complete.
