After several phases of site evaluation, technical consultation, and procurement negotiations, almost 800 linear metres of pedestrian and traffic protection solutions were designed and approved for installation. Each barrier type was selected for its unique performance profile, with custom layout drawings developed to meet specific safety objectives in multiple areas, including agriculture, cold store, boiler zones, and the electrical loading area.

2) Project Execution & Technical Capabilities
This complex safety upgrade required deep coordination and problem-solving across site engineering, procurement, and logistics:
- Barrier Layout Engineering: Multiple CAD-based barrier layouts were drafted, reviewed, and updated based on stakeholder feedback. Unique angles and gate hinge placements were calculated and confirmed to suit on-site constraints.
- Metre Rate Analysis: Metre rates were benchmarked from historical A-Safe pricing and adjusted using Astrolift's pricing matrix to deliver a tailored, value-optimised solution.
- Custom Drilled Posts: Astrolift’s Team facilitated precision pre-drilling of barrier posts at non-standard angles, ensuring clean installation without on-site fabrication delays.
3) Environmental Considerations and Compliance
Astrolift prioritised environmental safety and regulatory compliance throughout the project. All A-Safe barrier systems delivered were manufactured from non-toxic, recyclable polymers, free from hazardous materials, and conformed to New Zealand safety and environmental standards. No component used in the barrier systems presented a risk of pollutant release or harmful residue during normal operation.
Before any installation commenced, our team undertook a thorough on-site assessment to identify any pre-existing hazardous substances. We provided the client with a detailed environmental status update and supplied Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) in accordance with applicable laws. All waste materials and packaging were handled according to best environmental practices, ensuring zero contamination and full compliance with hazardous substance protocols. This approach allowed the client to maintain its commitment to sustainability without compromise to operational safety.
4) Workplace Safety and ROI
The implemented solution separates pedestrian paths from vehicle zones, reinforces safe crossing points with retractable belts, and protects key infrastructure with impact-resistant barriers. This contributes to:
- Reduced workplace accidents
- Fewer repair costs from vehicle collisions
- Increased staff confidence and compliance
- Long-term cost savings through modular maintenance
Astrolift’s combination of A-Safe certified products and experienced project management ensured seamless delivery of a scalable safety solution with measurable return on investment.
