Reaching the Stars

Do you realize how important the crowd control? Or can you imagine what would happen if there is no stanchions at the ticket window? Maybe the conditions will be like a market, scramble to buy ticket, even possible  pushing and violence.

Crowd control is the controlling of a crowd, to prevent the outbreak of disorder and prevention of possible riot. Most of public facilities need crowd control, such as bank, airports, stadiums, railway stations, clubs, goverment office, grocery store, sport venues, concerts, casino, museum, galleries, etc. There are various kinds of crowd control, such as stanchions, crowd control barriers, fences, and barricades.

The crowd control that often be used is stanchions. Stanchion has other purpose too, it is to prevent people to approach and hold the goods on display. Usually, stanchions are used in museums, galleries, concerts, theaters, government offices, displays, etc. Stanchion is manufactured from chrome plated steel and velvet rope. But it may be manufactured from titanium cover plate instead of chrome plated steel.

Other kind of crowd control is barricade. It’s a little different from stanchion. It use retractable belt so we don’t need to move the whole barricade if we don’t use it, in which stanchion need to be moved the whole. Barricade doesn’t use a lot of space, because it is designed to be a portable barricade or wall mounted barricade.
