Prep Tips for your Temporary Fence Project

We, here at AmeriFence Corporation of Kansas City, have installed thousands of temporary construction fences around the city.  Our crews have sat idle at many job sites while the contractor frantically tries to figure-out where to put his construction fence.  We have also gone back to just as many job sites and relocated the temporary site fence due to a lack of preparation.  This is not how you want to start any new project.  Before our crews get to your site, please consider some easy preparation.  You should start with:

1. Stake the location of your fence
   1. Locate your property line.  We have watched hundreds of job site superintendents scratch their heads as they try to figure-out where the property line is located.
   2. Be aware of any setbacks or easements.  Any new construction project is going to involve relocating or connecting to utilities.  Setting your temporary construction fence in the utility easement is a surefire way to guarantee having to relocate it.
   3. Be aware of blocking visibility at intersections and City codes prohibiting obstructions at intersections.  No one wants to watch a pile-up from their job site trailer.  Blocking visibility of oncoming traffic at an intersection can be a very dangerous act.
   4. Consider contractor access to the site for equipment and materials.  Most materials delivered to the site will be via a flat bed tractor trailer.  These trucks are almost 85 feet long and require half that amount for a turning radius.  Allow these deliveries room to access the site.
   5. Consider storage of onsite materials.  Contractors will deliver truckloads of sand, blocks, brick, insulation, red iron, roofing, etc.  You should consider the storage of all this material beyond the limits of construction.  No one wants to pay to move materials around the site.
   6. Consider contractor parking.  If you want contractors to show-up to work; you have to allow them a place to park.  When you force your work force to park outside the site; you often block deliveries, etc.  You will spend more time as a traffic cop then you may want to.
   7. Consider site conditions that may not allow the fence to be kept tight to the ground.  What good is a construction temporary site fence if you allow areas for others to crawl under the fence.
   8. Consider placing the fence next to any structures that would allow ease of climbing the fence.  Installing the fence tight against transformers, signage, stored materials, etc.  is inviting others to climb in or shuffle materials out.

The loading dock is made for daycabs. Anyway, receiver wanted me to slide the tandems to the rear before backing and I was like no way in hell ill make that swing so I slid my tandems all the way to the front instead. I started out pretty good till the trailer wheels went on a pot hole with black ice in it and the trailer just started sliding past the right side of the yellow lines. So I cut it real hard or the trailer would have hit the other trailer. The thing is, my right tractor drive wheels hit the fence and bent it .

Yes I did GOAL before I opened the doors and start backing.

I called my company and I should have guessed they would ask irritating questions. "How many injured?" "How many fatalities", "Whats the damage on the other truck or trailer", "What type of moving violation or ticket did you get?"- for what? Hitting a fence? No cops were involved. The only damage was the fence bent and for some reason my right tractor mudflaps tore off and ended up where the fifth wheel is.

I touched a fence, once, with the front end during a pull-up. From the looks of it, I was the ~th driver to do so, but I didn't get no ice cream.

Hey, sometimes it ain't safe to move. I imagine you did the best you could.

Next time a client wants your tandems to the rear, get lined up in the hole, then slide.

Well the first thing I would suggest is using 1st gear when you are doing all this and if need be wait for the other truck to pull out so I have room. I'm in a different line of work than you (stepdeck) but I have bumped a few docks in my time. I will also add I have bent some fences. Usually today I just tell then I will try what you want me to do but if it does not work out, you are going to have to come up with a different plan. I'm pretty good but i'm also over 75' long. Some days I really earn my money!
