Construction Hoarding Requirements Dubai

Construction hoarding is used to separate active work areas from the public, control access and improve site safety. On projects beside roads, footpaths or public spaces, the hoarding layout should be coordinated with the approved site plan, access arrangements and any authority requirements that apply to the location.

Define the Site Boundary Clearly

The first step is confirming where the hoarding line can be installed without obstructing required access, visibility, utilities or public movement. The boundary should match the approved project arrangement.

Protect Pedestrian Routes

Where pedestrians pass beside the site, the hoarding layout should avoid creating unsafe pinch points or forcing people into the carriageway. Temporary pedestrian routes should be clearly separated from construction activity.

Plan Access Gates Carefully

Vehicle and material access points should be positioned so that entering or exiting construction traffic can be managed safely. Consider:

• Gate width
• Turning movement
• Visibility
• Delivery vehicle size
• Banksman or marshal requirements
• Interaction with pedestrians

Stability and Condition

Hoarding should remain stable throughout the project. The installation method should suit the panel system, wind exposure, ground conditions and project duration.

Routine inspections should look for:

• Loose panels
• Damaged supports
• Sharp edges
• Open gaps
• Unauthorised openings
• Poorly secured gates

Visibility at Junctions and Access Points

Do not allow hoarding to block critical driver or pedestrian sightlines. Corners, driveways and crossings need particular attention.

Branding and Signage

Project branding, statutory signs and safety notices may be incorporated where appropriate, but they should not reduce visibility or create confusion with road traffic signs.

Coordinate With Road Safety Measures

On sites adjacent to public roads, hoarding may need to work together with temporary barriers, signs, cones, pedestrian control and approved traffic-management arrangements.
