Crowd Control Barrier Installation for Stourbridge Military Vehicle Parade 2025

Project Overview

SafeSite Facilities was proud to support the Stourbridge Military Vehicle Parade 2025, an annual community event that draws large crowds to the town centre. To ensure public safety and smooth traffic management, we were commissioned to supply and install temporary crowd control barriers along the main street in Stourbridge.

A road closure was implemented for the parade, requiring clear segregation between pedestrians and the procession of military vehicles. SafeSite provided a complete barrier hire and installation solution, ensuring efficient setup and removal within the strict event schedule.

The Requirement

Event organisers required robust, easy-to-install barriers to create safe pedestrian walkways and prevent unauthorised access to the parade route. The system needed to be:

• Quick to install and remove within limited road closure hours

• Durable and stable enough for crowd control use

• Fully compliant with local authority safety regulations

To meet these needs, SafeSite supplied 480 ×2.3m Pedestrian Barriers, ideal for managing crowd flow during public events and parades.

The Solution

Installation began at 5am, with our experienced installation team completing the full setup by 7:30am; well ahead of schedule. The barriers were strategically positioned along the main street to create a continuous, secure boundary between spectators and the moving vehicles.

After the parade concluded, our team were asked to return on-site promptly, completing the dismantle and collection of all 480 barriers. This efficient turnaround ensured minimal disruption to local businesses and road users, allowing the road to reopen on time as planned.

The Outcome

The event was a resounding success. The client praised SafeSite’s professionalism, efficient logistics, and reliability throughout the project.

“Everything went perfectly. The guys worked really hard, timings were spot on, and there wasn’t a single complaint or issue from anyone. You’ll be first on our list for next year.”

Thanks to meticulous planning and seamless execution, SafeSite helped deliver a safe and enjoyable event for all attendees. Notes have been taken to replicate the same success for future parades and public celebrations.
