Control barriers

Steel Control Barriers Built for Safety and Control

Control barriers are physical systems used to restrict movement, guide traffic, and protect people, equipment, and property. In industrial and public environments, control barriers must withstand impact, pressure, and constant use. At Steel & Prefabs, steel control barriers are designed for real-world conditions, not light-duty applications.

If a barrier bends or shifts under force, it has already failed its job.

Why Control Barriers Matter

Control barriers manage how people and vehicles move through a space. Poorly designed safety control barriers create confusion, bottlenecks, and safety risks.

Proper steel control barriers provide:

• Clear separation of vehicles and pedestrians

• Controlled access to restricted zones

• Protection for equipment and structures

• Reduced accident risk in busy environments

Barriers must be placed and fixed correctly to work as intended.

Designed for Structural Performance

Our metal control barriers are designed based on the environment they operate in. Traffic barriers face different loads than crowd-control or warehouse barriers.

Each barrier system considers:

• Expected impact or pressure loads

• Fixing method to concrete or steel

• Height and spacing requirements

• Long-term durability and maintenance

This ensures reliable performance without unnecessary overdesign.

Common Applications

We supply control barriers for warehouses and factories as well as:

• Industrial sites and loading bays

• Parking areas and access roads

• Public spaces and facilities

• Storage yards and restricted zones

• Indoor and outdoor environments

Barriers are coordinated with floor layouts, reinforced concrete layouts, and steel structures for proper anchoring.

Control Requires Strength, Not Decoration

Control barriers are not signage. They are physical enforcement. Weak materials or poor anchoring turn them into hazards.

If you need control barriers in Kenya that deliver real safety and access control, Steel & Prefabs provides solutions built to handle pressure, impact, and daily use.
