Little Creatures Brewery Geelong

Little Creatures Geelong, a working brewery and hospitality venue, faced a significant safety challenge: cars and the public were entering restricted areas, including operating and truck zones. The need for separation between public areas and operational zones was critical to ensure the safety of visitors and staff. This unauthorised access not only posed a risk of accidents but also disrupted the brewery’s operations. The primary goal was to prevent unauthorised entry and maintain a safe environment for everyone on the premises.

To address this issue, Barrier Group implemented a strategic solution by installing gates and bollards. These barriers effectively blocked unauthorised access to the restricted areas while still allowing entry when necessary. The gates were positioned to prevent cars and pedestrians from entering unsafe zones, ensuring that only authorised personnel could access these critical areas. The key feature of this solution was its flexibility—while the barriers prevented unwanted access, they could easily be opened when required, providing controlled access as needed. This approach not only enhanced safety but also maintained operational efficiency.

One of the challenges encountered during the project was ensuring the receiver bollard was the correct height. Initially, the bollard installed was not tall enough to meet the requirements. To resolve this, Barrier Group returned to the site with our installation team to assess the situation and determine the appropriate size for the receiver bollard. Little Creatures Geelong was very cooperative during this process, and necessary adjustments were able to be made.
