Long® Fence Provides Chain Link Security Fencing and Crowd Control for the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club
Long® Fence to provide chain link fence & pedestrian barricades for the June 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, PA.
Philadelphia, PA, June 08, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Long® Fence is providing chain link fence panels and pedestrian barricades for the 2013 U.S. Open held June 10-16 at Merion Golf Club, East Course, 450 Ardmore Avenue in Ardmore, PA.
Due to the location of the historic golf club and the limited access to off-site parking, a temporary pedestrian bridge had to be engineered and constructed over the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority tracks to safely convey U.S. Open attendees from Haverford College parking to the Marion Clubhouse. Long® Fence was contracted to custom manufacture and install chain link fence panels that would attach to the bridge railings in order to secure the sides and enclose the top. The bridge was finished in mid-April and is a temporary structure. After the event, the bridge will be disassembled.
Long® Fence is installing 18,000 LF of pedestrian barricades for crowd control and restricted access in two locations, 9,000 LF off-site at satellite parking areas and 9,000 LF on the course itself. Four tractor-trailers were required to haul 18,000 LF of barricade materials to the event site.
"This is a great job for us," said Chris Jenkins, Long® Fence commercial manager. "The temporary pedestrian bridge over the SEPTA tracks was a unique challenge, given the strict requirements of pedestrian safety. Merion is the second U.S. Open we've done and it's wonderful to have the opportunity to work on such a beautiful and historic location."
