The HERMEQ Armco Calculator is a practical configuration tool designed to streamline crash barrier system planning. It allows site managers and specifiers to digitally calculate the number of beams, posts, fixings and end components needed based on site length. Whether you're fitting a straight run or configuring corners, this tool ensures nothing is missed.
Used by B2B contractors, engineers and site planners, the calculator reduces procurement errors and speeds up installation scheduling. Compatible with all HERMEQ components, it guides buyers to build a compliant and complete system tailored to industrial safety standards.
- Configurable options – Choose between 3.2m and 1.6m beams depending on system strength.
- Supports post types – Configure with RSJ or Z-Posts for dig-in or bolt-down installations.
- Adds end treatments – Select between Fish Tail Ends or Pedestrian Ends to match traffic type.
- Includes fixings – Generates counts for lap bolts, floor bolts and post fixings.
- Integrates corners – Accounts for Barrier Corners and angles for wraparound protection.
Designed specifically for configuring armco barriers in warehouses, car parks and industrial sites, the calculator simplifies what can be a complex process. Users enter required length and layout, and the tool provides an itemised list of all Armco components required to complete the installation.
This includes crash-tested Straight Corrugated Beams in your choice of 3.2m or 1.6m, helping you select the balance of cost and protection. RSJ posts offer the most robust performance for high-traffic environments, while Z-posts provide a flexible solution in lighter duty zones. Ends and corners ensure a complete system that suits the shape and footfall of your environment.
All components suggested by the calculator meet crash barrier design principles for B2B applications. It is particularly useful for safety managers looking to reduce vehicle collision risks and protect infrastructure using HERMEQ’s modular barrier products.
HERMEQ stock a wide range of Armco components to support your barrier layout, including Straight Corrugated Steel Beams, Fish Tail Ends and Pedestrian Ends enabling complete site protection.
