At Alpha Rail, we supply a range of railings for retaining walls. Retaining walls without any safety fences can be dangerous in high-traffic areas. Nowadays, many people get distracted while walking, most of the time looking at their phones. Imagine if someone did not pay attention and found themselves falling off a retaining wall. It could pose a risk to people’s health. Therefore, retaining walls require a retaining wall guardrail in order to prevent accidents from happening. Our company can supply you with a range of standard retaining wall guardrail available in various sizes.

About our retaining wall guardrail

Why is a Retaining Wall Guardrail necessary? 

There are plenty of reasons why a guardrail should be added to a retaining wall. These are some of the most important motivations: 

  • Safety reasons – Even an accidental fall off of a retaining wall can pose a risk to your health. These types of falls can end in a back injury, leg injury and other injuries. Thus, retaining wall guardrail will enable avoiding such accidents. 
  • Building Regulations – UK building regulations may apply depending on the height of a retaining wall and the dimension from its top to the ground or depending on vertical level differences. For example, if a retaining structure is more than 600mm high and the dimension from the top of the retaining wall to the higher ground level is less than 300mm, a retaining wall guardrail is required. 
  • Aesthetics – A retaining wall guardrail can provide a better visual look to a retaining wall. It can also provide a closed space for activities, or create a viewpoint platform from which people can enjoy nice views. 

If you have a project which requires a retaining wall guardrail, please do not hesitate to contact us for further information. Our lovely team will be in touch shortly.
