Balustrades play a crucial role in civil engineering projects, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes across various structures. In the civil sector, these protective barriers are essential components in:
Bridges and Overpasses: Balustrades provide critical fall protection for pedestrians and cyclists, often incorporating anti-throw features to enhance safety. They are designed to withstand significant loads while maintaining clear sightlines.
Public Spaces: In parks, plazas, and other communal areas, balustrades offer safety barriers around elevated platforms or along walkways, blending seamlessly with the surrounding architecture.
Infrastructure Projects: From transport hubs to government buildings, balustrades are integral in ensuring public safety while contributing to the overall design aesthetic.
Waterfront Developments: As seen in projects like the Wynyard Wharf Balustrades in Auckland, these structures enhance the visual appeal of waterfronts while meeting stringent safety standards

Balustrades are essential elements in the commercial sector, providing both safety and aesthetic appeal across various environments. These protective barriers are commonly found in public spaces such as shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and office buildings, where they serve to prevent falls while enhancing the overall design. Available in a variety of materials including aluminium, mild steel (coated) and stainless steel, commercial balustrades can be customised to meet specific architectural requirements and style preferences.
For instance, cable or mesh balustrades offer unobstructed views and a modern look, making them ideal for areas that prioritise openness and light as an alternative to glass. Meanwhile, Stainless Steel options provide durability and low maintenance for high-traffic areas. SRS Group specialises in creating bespoke balustrade solutions tailored to the unique needs of commercial projects, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while delivering striking designs that elevate any space.

In commercial settings such as shopping centres, hotels, offices, and public venues, balustrades serve multiple functions – preventing falls, defining spaces, and contributing to the overall design aesthetic.

“SRS measured, designed and installed a stainless steel balustrade on our floating stairs. Lots of angles and landings to contemplate but the finished product looks fantastic. The engineers were very respectful of the new flooring and decoration and they always gave me good notice of any visits for fitting. I would definitely recommend their services. Many thanks AJ and Luke.”
A balustrade is mandatory wherever there is a potential fall of 1 metre or more, such as on decks, balconies, staircases, or mezzanines. This is outlined under Clause F4 of the NZ Building Code, which aims to prevent injury from falling.
To meet NZ Building Code standards, balustrades must:
SRS offers several stylish and compliant balustrade options:
No. In New Zealand, horizontal wire infill is generally not compliant under Clause F4, as it can be climbed by children under 6 years old. Vertical or angled wire patterns are preferred and accepted as safe alternatives. You WILL however see horizontal wire infills in a public space due to the fact that the code accounts for a 6-year old child would be supervised in a public space, whereas in a residential application there is opportunity for children to not be 100% supervised.
Yes, if the balustrade is part of a structure with a fall height over 1 metre. You may need to provide a Producer Statement (PS1) to show the design meets NZ Building Code requirements. Always check with your local council for specific consent rules.
A PS3 is a formal document issued by an installer [eg SRS] who physically carried out the balustrade installation. It confirms that the work has been completed in accordance with the approved design (PS1) and complies with the New Zealand Building Code.
Key Reasons a PS3 Is Required:
Councils use the PS3 to verify that the balustrade meets structural, safety, and durability requirements under NZBC clauses such as:
B1 – Structure
B2 – Durability
F4 – Safety from Falling
E2 – External Moisture (if applicable)
A PS3 is often requested before issuing a CCC, which certifies that the building work complies with the consent and the Building Code.
If the balustrade uses proprietary components (e.g., Xtend Mesh, V-Wire, or prefabricated systems), councils may not be able to inspect every detail. A PS3 provides assurance that the system was installed correctly.
The PS3 is signed by the installer, confirming they take responsibility for the quality and compliance of their work. This adds a layer of professional assurance to the project.
Some councils, like Auckland Council, have specific PS3 forms for balustrades that must be completed and submitted as part of the consent documentation.
