Projected Safety Markings and Polymeric Segregation at Plasterboard Manufacturer

The Challenge

Plasterboard Manufacturer, a leading manufacturer of building materials, operates a busy site in Immingham where efficient, safe pedestrian and vehicle movement is critical to daily operations.

The site needed improved segregation between pedestrian walkways and vehicle routes, alongside clearer safe crossing points.

Existing routing and demarcation were insufficient, creating potential safety risks and operational inefficiencies within a dynamic industrial environment. The client required a durable, highly visible, low-maintenance solution to address these concerns effectively.

Our Approach

To address Plasterboard Manufacturer’s requirements effectively, the safety solutions would need to:

• Clearly define pedestrian crossing locations and right-of-way
• Strengthen segregation between pedestrians and vehicle routes
• Reduce ongoing maintenance associated with worn markings
• Remain highly visible in a busy industrial setting

What We Delivered

WSS recommended a two-fold approach to address Plasterboard Manufacturer’s specific challenges.

The primary solution was the installation of Projected Walkway Crossing Markings. These were selected for their exceptional visibility under all light conditions, their resilience to heavy industrial traffic ensuring long-term durability with minimal upkeep, and their effectiveness in clearly defining pedestrian right of way.

Additionally, we supplied Anter polymeric barriers. This modern alternative to traditional metal barriers offers strength and impact resistance while creating effective physical segregation where required.

Results & What’s Next

The implementation of these safety solutions enhanced segregation and clarified walkway routing across the Plasterboard Manufacturer Immingham site.

Projected markings now provide instant visual guidance for safe pedestrian movement, while the Anter barriers deliver reliable physical separation in mixed-traffic areas.

The improvements resulted in:

• Improved pedestrian route clarity with instantly recognisable crossing points
• Stronger segregation in mixed-traffic areas through robust physical barriers
• Reduced reliance on floor-applied markings, lowering maintenance burden over time
• A more consistent, professional safety layout that supports safer movement for all personnel
