In construction sites — especially large, multi‑level or public‑access projects — safety and emergency readiness must go hand in hand. A temporary construction fence equipped with modular fire‑exit unlockers offers not only perimeter security, but also ensures that in case of fire or emergency evacuation, safe exit routes remain accessible for workers and responders.
Traditional temporary fences may completely block all access — which can pose serious risks in case of emergency. By integrating modular unlockable gates (fire‑exit modules) into the fence system, you ensure a controlled yet quickly releasable escape route. This dual function — security during construction, safe egress during emergencies — is especially important for public buildings, renovation sites, and multi‑phase construction zones.
Our fencing system design follows the internationally recognized ASTM F3342‑19 — Standard Guide for Temporary Fence Applications for Construction Sites, which defines requirements for temporary fences used in construction zones: installation before work begins, continuous barrier panels, secure panel‑to‑post connections and stable support bases. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
We also reference guidance from global temporary‑fence safety best practices — including recommendations for access control, emergency exit accessibility, and public safety compliance. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
We supply welded‑mesh or galvanized chain‑link temporary fence panels, combined with modular fire‑exit gates equipped with quick‑release unlockers. These gates remain locked during normal construction operations, but in case of emergency — fire, collapse risk, or evacuation need — they can be unlocked quickly to provide safe egress. All fence panels and modules are anchored on stable bases or ballast, ensuring structural integrity even under stress, while still allowing emergency exit functionality.
A recent renovation project involved a three‑story mixed‑use building. Given the building’s proximity to public sidewalks and high pedestrian traffic, the contractor chose our modular fence with fire‑exit modules. During concrete pours, electrical works, and interior demolition, the site remained secure. Simultaneously, fire‑exit gates were kept accessible internally — so that in the case of an incident (e.g. small fire during welding), workers and emergency personnel could quickly exit through designated gates.
Mid‑project, a minor electrical fire occurred after hours. Because of the fire‑exit unlockable gates, the night‑shift crew immediately evacuated safely; the site fences prevented entry from outside, protecting public walkways. The emergency handling was smooth, with no injury or damage beyond the initial fault. The client highlighted that the combination of security + emergency readiness prevented potential liability and ensured compliance with safety norms.
Dual‑purpose safety & security: secure perimeter during construction + safe emergency exit when needed.
Standards‑compliant: meets ASTM temporary‑fence guidelines and the widely accepted best practices for site safety and emergency planning.
Public‑area and pedestrian protection: Keeps the public away from hazards while ensuring safe egress for workers/residents nearby.
Liability reduction & risk management: In emergency situations, having unlockable exit modules helps avoid accidents, legal issues, or public safety incidents.
Flexible and adaptable: Modular design allows you to customize fence + exit‑module layout according to site size, shape, and evacuation needs.
