04.A.04 Fencing and Warning Signs.
- Temporary project fencing (or a substitute acceptable to the GDA and delineated in the APP) must be provided on all projects located in areas of active use by members of the public, including those areas in close proximity to family housing areas and/or school facilities.
- Fencing must extend from grade to a minimum of 4 ft (1.2 m) above grade and must have a maximum mesh size of 2 in (5 cm). Fencing must remain rigid/taut with a minimum of 200 lbs (.9 kN) of force exerted on it from any direction with less than 4 in (10 cm) of deflection.
Fencing with warning signs.
- Signs warning of the presence of construction hazards and requiring unauthorized persons to keep out of the construction area must be posted on the fencing. At minimum, signs must be posted every 150 ft (45.7 m). Fenced sides of projects that are less than 150 ft must, at minimum, have at least one warning sign. See also Section 8.
- Depending upon the nature and location of the project site, the GDA may determine that fencing is not required. This will be based on a risk analysis of public exposure and other project specific considerations, and will be included in the applicable AHA. In those locations where the GDA has determined fencing is not required, signs, warning of construction hazards, must be conspicuously posted.
