Guard rail protects walls, equipment and drop-offs from vehicles. In San Jose we install it at commercial sites on the valley floor and beside private drives in the foothills.
Guard rail is steel beam on posts, placed where a vehicle could do damage or come to harm. On private property that means the edge of a parking lot, a loading dock, a building corner, a gas meter, or a driveway with a drop beside it.
In San Jose we see two main settings. Industrial and retail sites on the valley floor need protection for walls, equipment and walkways. Foothill properties have private drives cut across a slope, where a rail on the downhill side is plain good sense.
Post spacing, embedment and the end treatment decide how a rail performs, so we follow the manufacturer's layout for the system. Work in or beside a public street belongs to the city or county and is not something a private fence job covers. Before driving posts through paving, we have utilities located.
Guard rails in San Jose: common questions
Guard rail or bollards?
Bollards protect a point, like a door or a meter. Guard rail protects a line, like a wall or an embankment. Many sites use both.
Can guard rail be installed on asphalt?
Yes. Posts are driven or set through the paving into the ground below. We check for buried lines first.
Can a damaged section be replaced?
Yes. Beam sections and posts are modular, so a hit section can be unbolted and swapped without rebuilding the run.
