1 Sales Office: Post and Rail Systems Torbay Post and Tension Wire System with bespoke seating The objectives of a pedestrian restraint system are to sustain specified design loadings while blending with the environment, increasing the safety of pedestrians and other non-vehicular highway users and matching the architectural surroundings. Pedestrian restraint systems may take one of the following forms: n Parapets generally installed on bridges, retaining walls or other structures where vehicle traffic is excluded, but pedestrians, equestrian or cyclists may be carried. n Guard Rails installed to control pedestrians, equestrians or cyclists on footways/ paths bridleways etc but are not used on structures. Marshalls has created a wealth of experience in specialist post & rail systems. The materials used to create these systems vary from steel to stainless steel and Ferrocast, the modern alternative to cast iron. Steel and stainless steel is usually found in city centres, junctions and in crowded places with high traffic, whereas Ferrocast systems are suited for all environments and are used mostly for seaside surroundings, as the material will not rust or corrode, it can be cleaned easier and has a high chip, abrasion and vandal resistance. For further information on Ferrocast benefits and images, please turn to page 425. Our design team can work closely with specifiers and architects.

2 Sales Office: PTRL05 Fencing Q Polyurethane Systems Waterside 3 Rail Post and Rail System, formerly known as Llanelli Ferrocast Post and Rail Systems are decorative means of restricting access to potentially hazardous areas; they are ideally suited to waterfronts, on bridges and near steep inclines. Ferrocast Post and Rail Systems feature styles that can be specified to recreate a traditional look or to provide a more contemporary styling. In areas where it is necessary to continue or to refurbish, existing schemes copies of historic posts can be made on request. Alternatives to post and rail systems include a post and tension wire system and a post and parapet system. Systems can be created to suit your requirements, corners and bends can be accommodated and banisters and handrails that are compliant with DDA requirements can be specified. Also facilities for chain links can be supplied to restrict access to entrances. Ferrocast post and rail is available in most standard RAL colours, a second colour may be used to highlight details. Civic crests and company logos can be incorporated into posts and schemes can be further enhanced with illuminated handrails. Marshalls Street Furniture offer a full site survey and installation service. 333

3 Ferrocast Post and Rail, Herne Bay The Benefits of Ferrocast Polyurethane Ferrocast is an engineering grade polyurethane with a proven track record in the harsh environments of the quarrying, mining and North Sea oil industries. It is an ideal material for post and rail systems, as it will withstand the demanding conditions of modern urban environments, and harsh coastal locations. Ferrocast systems comprise steel posts cast into a decorative Ferrocast outer and steel rails with a Ferrocast coating. The internal steel core gives structural strength and provides increased safety. The Ferrocast polyurethane is pigmented with a through-colour, making it the same colour as the final paint finish. This means that chips and abrasions will not be apparent. Ferrocast polyurethane will not rust and offers maximum resistance to chemical corrosion including saline, uric acid (human and animal) and water. Cast Iron Post and Steel Rail, Herne Bay Cast Iron Post and Steel Rail, Herne Bay Whole Life Costing Ferrocast is a popular choice for the replacement of historic cast iron installations. Its durability ensures minimal maintenance is required and provides a maximum life expectancy. In analysis of whole life costing comparing galvanised, powder coated steel and Ferrocast, the Ferrocast system showed whole life costs less than half those of galvanised systems and less than a third of powder coated steel systems. The images on the right show a cast iron post and steel rail system four years after installation. The Ferrocast system above had been installed adjacent to it; just twelve months later and after three years, it showed none of the natural degradation that the cast iron system showed.
