UrbanGuard
Dedicated Barrier Systems for Shared Paths and Active Transport Infrastructure
UrbanGuard™ is Mentis’ modular balustrade and guardrail range engineered for projects where fall prevention, accessibility outcomes and NCC compliance must be achieved without compromising architectural clarity. Designed for commercial, education, civic and infrastructure environments, UrbanGuard™ delivers a robust barrier solution for stairs, ramps, landings and elevated circulation routes, configured around heavy-duty tubular rails, welded vertical infill options and modular fittings to satisfy critical requirements including barrier height, 125 mm sphere compliance and non-climbable detailing where required.
UrbanGuard™ combines certified safety, accessibility and modular buildability to deliver dependable performance across public environments, supported by independently tested structural performance to AS/NZS 1170.1 for public-use loading (0.5 kN/m line load and 0.6 kN point load) and NCC barrier performance, including height and infill compliance with vertical elements supporting anti-climb intent where required.
