Construction is risky business. Between the tools, the heavy machinery, the unfinished structures, and the general hazards of a live site, it doesn’t take much for an accident to happen.
And in Calgary, where weather, urban foot traffic, and dense neighborhoods often come into play, temporary fencing isn’t just smart—it’s essential. At Nero Contracting, we work with contractors, builders, and developers across Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, and Chestermere to reduce liability and increase peace of mind with secure, regulation-compliant fence rentals.
Here’s how temporary fencing protects you from legal trouble and unexpected costs on your next job.
1. Prevents Unauthorized Access
Unfenced sites are open invitations—especially at night or on weekends.
Without a barrier:
-
Curious teens might wander in
-
Pets or pedestrians can get hurt
-
Thieves have easy access to tools and materials
If someone gets injured on your property—even if they shouldn’t have been there—you could be held liable under Alberta’s Occupiers’ Liability Act. Proper fencing clearly defines the danger zone and helps protect you from claims.
We provide fencing with lockable gates and anti-climb designs to keep your site secure 24/7.
2. Keeps the Public Safe
Most construction projects in Calgary happen near sidewalks, roads, or shared laneways. That makes public safety a top concern.
Fencing:
-
Blocks debris from blowing into walkways
-
Prevents kids and pedestrians from entering active areas
-
Keeps construction dust and noise partially contained
City inspectors often flag unfenced or poorly secured sites for violations—and repeated infractions can delay your project or even shut it down.
We make sure every fence panel is wind-braced and secured properly to withstand Calgary’s gusts and winter storms.
3. Minimizes Equipment and Property Damage
Whether it’s vehicles parked too close or workers outside the job zone, unmarked or open areas lead to accidents.
Fence panels help:
-
Control site flow with designated entry points
-
Protect vehicles and structures from construction movement
-
Reduce the chance of damage to nearby landscaping, sidewalks, or neighboring homes
Many insurance policies require secure perimeters as part of your coverage—don’t wait for your provider to tell you you’re not covered.
4. Protects You from Fines and Delays
Failing to fence your site properly can result in:
-
Fines from the City of Calgary
-
Permit revocation or stop-work orders
-
Disputes with neighboring property owners
Don’t take the chance. We help ensure your fencing meets local regulations and safety standards, so you can stay focused on the work—not paperwork or penalties.
