Enhancing Plastics Facility Protection with Polybar Group Solutions

Polybar Group are delighted to share our recent project, providing impact protection solutions for a large-scale manufacturing facility in Cavan, operated by a leading provider of plastic blow moulded products. This client required a reliable solution that would maintain the cleanliness of their environment while protecting key infrastructure from damage. Our team delivered a tailored package of high-performance products that met the facility’s strict hygiene and safety standards.

The Challenge

The client, operating in a specialised manufacturing sector, maintains an exceptionally clean facility where dust and debris are of critical concern. Their operations demand robust, non-damaging protection solutions that preserve the integrity of floors and walls while meeting strict sanitary standards.

The primary challenge was to protect the facility from damage due to impacts while ensuring that no additional dust or debris was generated. Standard protection systems could potentially harm the clean environment needed for their production processes. As a result, the client required products that:

• Withstood high-impact forces

• Maintained a clean and undamaged surface upon impact

• Met rigorous British and international standards for impact resistance and cleanliness

Polybar Group's Impact Protection Solution

Polybar Group supplied a comprehensive range of impact protection products, including our renowned P-Flex Column Protection, P Barriers, and P Bollards. These products were selected for their:

• Superior impact resistance, ensuring long-term durability and safety

• Clean, non-damaging design that preserves floors and walls

• Compliance with stringent British and international safety standards
  

Installation was carried out by a local, registered, and experienced contractor, ensuring precise application and adherence to all regulatory requirements.

Polybar Group’s impact protection products offered a comprehensive safety solution tailored to the needs of a clean, high-performance manufacturing environment. Our P-FLEX Column Protection provided robust, non-invasive safeguarding for structural columns, absorbing high-impact forces without transferring energy or causing damage—crucial for maintaining a dust-free facility. Our P-Barrier offers versatile protection for walls, machinery, and loading bays, doubling as a wheel guide to aid vehicle positioning and improve operational safety. Finally, our P-Barrier Rail enhanced safety in high-traffic zones, protecting the facility's infrastructure and preventing vehicle intrusion.

All impact protection products are made from hygienic, corrosion-resistant materials with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces and hidden fixings, making them ideal for sanitary environments where cleanliness, durability, and compliance with international safety standards are critical.

The Benefits of Our Impact Protection Products

Polybar Group delivered a tailored safety solution that addressed the client's need to maintain a clean, controlled, and impact-resistant environment. The facility, operating in a hygiene-sensitive industry, benefited significantly from the non-invasive nature of our protection systems, which prevent structural and surface damage without generating dust or debris, which was a key concern for this client.

By strategically installing protection around high-risk areas such as columns, loading zones, and pedestrian pathways, we helped reduce the risk of operational disruptions, safeguarded valuable infrastructure, and enhanced overall workplace safety. Our solutions also supported the client's ongoing compliance with industry regulations, offering long-term durability and peace of mind in a demanding production setting.
