A Jersey barrier can separate traffic. It can support signage, carry hoarding, and with the right engineering, it may also become part of the structure supporting a temporary covered walkway.
At Barangaroo, Enviro Pacific approached NON-DRILL after seeing its Jersey-barrier hoarding system.
The requirement this time was different: the project needed a covered walkway that would provide protection from inclement weather and could move as the site progressed.
NON-DRILL developed a foldable system that connected directly to the existing lifting anchors in the concrete Jersey barriers and was designed to satisfy the required wind loading.
The system could be installed, transported and relocated as the project changed.
Think of the anchor as an interface, not just a lifting point
This project is interesting because the application changed, but the underlying engineering philosophy did not.
The Jersey barrier already contained a known connection.
Instead of drilling into the barrier or building an independent support structure beside it, the design began with that existing interface.
This is where NON-DRILL's experience has started moving beyond edge protection alone.
The same principle can support different temporary-works requirements because the valuable part is not simply the handrail.
It is understanding how temporary infrastructure can connect intelligently to concrete assets.
For project teams, that creates a useful change in thinking. A lifting anchor has an obvious purpose during manufacturing and placement, but once the element is in position, it may still have engineering value.
The question is whether it is suitable for the new load case and system being proposed. That is a design question - and it is a much better place to start than assuming every new temporary requirement needs another hole.
