Parking Barrier Site Survey: Scheduling Your On-Site Visit
t452-38

A parking barrier site survey is an on-site visit where our team measures the entrance, checks traffic flow, power and ground conditions, and records the details needed for an accurate barrier design. You schedule it by sending photos and a short description of your building, and we confirm a visit time that suits the building committee or site manager.
Why a Site Survey Comes Before Any Barrier Order
A parking barrier only works well when it fits the exact opening it protects. Widths, clearances, slopes and the position of the entry lane all affect which model and arm length make sense. Photos help us prepare, but they cannot replace measurements taken at the gate itself.
For residential buildings, the survey also helps the building committee see the proposal in real conditions before approving a decision.
How to Schedule Your Visit
Start by sending us a few clear photos of the entrance, the lane approaching it, and the surrounding walls or posts. Include a short note on how the parking area is used, such as residents only, visitors, or delivery vehicles.
- Name and phone number of the contact person on site
- Preferred days and hours for the visit
- Any access rules or key holder details
We reply with a proposed time, and the visit is confirmed once the contact person agrees.
What We Measure and Check on Site
During the visit our technician measures the clear opening, the lane width, the ground level and slope, and the distance to walls or columns. We also note where the power supply is, whether the operator can be mounted safely, and how far the barrier can sit from the nearest exit or turning point.
Vehicle types matter as well. Heavier vehicles and frequent use call for a different duty cycle than a quiet side entrance.
What to Prepare Before We Arrive
A little preparation keeps the visit short and accurate. Clear the area around the entrance so we can measure without obstruction, and let us know if the gate is usually kept open during the day.
- Access to the electrical box or nearest power point
- Plans or sketches of the parking area if you have them
- Information on existing gates, loops or signage
From Survey to Written Specification
After the visit we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering the proposed barrier, its dimensions, the finish and the installation requirements. You review it, ask questions, and approve it before any production starts.
Nothing is manufactured until you have approved the specification in writing, so you know exactly what will be installed.
Planning the Installation Around the Survey
Once the specification is approved, production takes place in our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv, followed by finishing and then installation at your building. Knowing the survey findings in advance lets the building schedule any electrical work or temporary parking changes.
Tell us early if you have a deadline, such as an inspection or a planned resurfacing, so we can plan the visit and the next steps together.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a parking barrier site survey take?
Most surveys take a short visit on site, and the time depends on how many entrances and how complex the lane layout is. We confirm the expected duration when we agree on the appointment.
Do I need to be present during the survey?
It helps to have a contact person on site who can open access points and answer questions about use. Building committees often send a representative for this purpose.
Will the survey lead to a binding order?
No. The survey produces measurements and a proposed specification, which you review and approve before anything is ordered or produced.
Can you survey a barrier that is already installed?
Yes, we can assess an existing barrier to advise on replacement, repair or upgrade options based on what is currently on site.
Common mistakes to avoid
Scheduling a visit with only a rough photo and no clear measurements often leads to a revisit. Skipping the check of power supply and access to the operator can delay installation after approval.
Our recommendation
Send photos from a few distances and mention how the lane is used, so the survey team arrives prepared. Have the power point location confirmed before the visit to save time on installation day.
Summary
A parking barrier site survey gives accurate measurements and a clear written specification before any production starts. Preparing photos, access and power details makes scheduling quick and the results reliable.
