Safety and Security: Why Temporary Construction Walls Are Ideal for Your Project

Contractors discuss requirements for temporary construction walls.

Prefabricated temporary wall systems often bring containment to mind—a quick solution for managing the construction dust and debris typical of active job sites. These systems offer significant benefits, including fast and straightforward installation, reduced labor demands, and a chance to boost project profitability with their durability and reusability.

Temporary Construction Walls Create Safer, More Secure Job Sites

Temporary construction walls offer many advantages for projects in healthcare facilities, office buildings, airports, data centers, or other commercial spaces.

Rigid Safety Standards

Maintaining clean and cleanable walls goes beyond appearance—it’s critical for safety. High-quality prefabricated containment systems protect occupants from potentially harmful dust and debris. For example, healthcare facilities operate 24/7. Even nighttime work can endanger patients, staff, and visitors. As a result, superior containment solutions must adhere to strict safety requirements.

STARC’s temporary wall systems—RealWall™, LiteBarrier™, FireblockWall™, and StackBarrier™—surpass industry standards. FireblockWall, the first reusable, one-hour fire-rated temporary containment system, also complies with four key fire codes, including certification for a one-hour fire-rated barrier.

Enhanced Security

Renovation projects demand inventory control and access restrictions. In hospitals, secure containment is essential for protecting sensitive areas like pharmacies or medical equipment storage. Airports face similar challenges. Construction beyond security checkpoints must guard against unauthorized access and theft, while protecting tools, materials, and confidential information.

Prefabricated modular panels form effective barriers. Integrated door locks—whether mechanical, keycode, or single-key systems—keep unauthorized individuals out. This level of security protects both the job site and anyone near it. Additionally, unlike drywall, modular panels don’t have sharp or exposed components during installation, further improving safety.

Noise Reduction

Installing prefabricated wall panels is a quieter alternative to traditional drywall construction. This allows teams to work during regular business hours, saving time and money. For example, STARC’s temporary walls can reduce renovation noise by up to 50%, ensuring minimal disruption.
