Guardrails are pivotal for road safety, and Cleanway excels in their installation and maintenance. We’re committed to solutions that align with Australian safety standards.
Guardrail Installation and Maintenance process is rooted in a step-by-step process prioritising safety, compliance, and environmental protection. From initial waste collection to the final disposal, our process is designed to meet each client’s specific needs while adhering to stringent EPA regulations.
The initial phase involves a evaluation of the site where the guardrail is to be installed. This assessment includes measuring the area, identifying potential hazards, and determining the specific type and length of guardrail required. Proper planning ensures that the guardrail will provide effective protection and meet all regulatory standards for safety and performance.
Based on the site assessment, appropriate materials are selected for the guardrail system. This selection process takes into account factors such as durability, environmental conditions, and the level of protection needed. Materials are then prepared for installation, including cutting to size and coating for corrosion resistance, if necessary.
A solid foundation is critical for the stability and effectiveness of the guardrail. This process involves digging post holes, setting posts in concrete or other stabilising materials, and ensuring that they are properly aligned and level. The foundation must be designed to withstand impacts and provide reliable support for the guardrail.
With the foundation in place, the guardrail components are assembled and attached to the posts. This step includes installing the rail elements, end terminals, and any additional safety features such as reflectors or impact attenuators. Careful attention is paid to the alignment and secure attachment of all parts to ensure the guardrail functions as intended.
After installation, the guardrail system is thoroughly inspected and tested to confirm that it meets all safety standards and specifications. Regular maintenance is then conducted to ensure the guardrail remains in good condition and continues to provide effective protection. This includes inspecting for and repairing any damage, corrosion, or wear that could compromise the guardrail’s performance.

How are guardrails installed?
The installation of guardrails is a complex process that involves surveying the installation area, preparing the site, installing posts, mounting the guard rail onto the posts, and conducting a thorough inspection to ensure safety standards are met. This process requires specialized equipment and should be carried out by trained professionals to ensure the guardrails are effective in preventing accidents.
What makes a guardrail compliant with Australian standards?
Compliance with the Australian Standard AS 1657:2018 is crucial for guardrail systems, including those for rooftops, platforms, and walkways. This standard specifies requirements for the design, construction, and installation to ensure safety. Key compliance aspects include minimum height requirements, distances between rails and posts, load rating, and the inclusion of toeboards under certain conditions
