finding your way around a site.
Site safety begins at the entrance. With enhanced
security concerns and screening, it’s important to
control the flow of people coming into the show in
a way that allows security personnel to search them
in efficient but thorough manner. eps’s Foris security
gates are designed to facilitate bag-check and security screening, and are available both in regular and
ADA widths.
When you’re lining up for something at a site, you’ll
notice a variety of ways in which the right equipment
can guide you. Some productions use simple bike
rack, others use fencing and signage. One solution, common in Europe, is crowd control barriers,
sometimes referred to as “police barriers.” These are
a unique alternative to bike-rack as they are much
more stable, and the stability actually improves as
more patrons line up and step on the bases. This
is one example of how new products and thinking can enhance site safety without additional
expense or reconfiguring.
keeping things safe at the
stages with barricade
Stage barricade is common at events worldwide,
and we’ve watched the evolution from simple
steel partitions to today’s unique & lightweight
aluminum barriers. Nowadays, we have access
to full custom solutions with variable bends,
corners, gates & more. eps’s GIGS barricade
systems are designed to protect occupants and
the stage combined, with careful consideration
to maximizing safety while ensuring quick and
easy installations and tear-downs. They utilize a
lightweight aluminum design with custom profiles to minimize pinch points, as well as integrated steps for security personnel. The aluminum
carts make transport easy, and their connection
design gives them flexibility on less than ideal
surfaces. eps makes a full line of custom pieces
including corners and gates from personnel to
truck-sized.
