Guardrail Barriers are divided into several types, each differing from the other in terms of design, for example, or in terms of places of use.
Among the many types of traffic safety systems, Guardrail are divided into four types, and another system of metal road barriers has also been produced.
Importance of Guardrail Barriers
Guardrail are one of the most important traffic safety systems used around the world, and a road can’t be without them because of their great importance in achieving traffic safety. Barriers installed on the borders and sides of the road, and in the middle of the two-way road. Guardrail work to define the sides of the road and protect drivers and passengers inside cars. When the car collides with the body of the barrier, it absorbs the maximum impact energy and redirects the car back to the road with minimal damage to the car.
Thus, Guardrail protect individuals and the road, making them indispensable in various types.
Types of Guardrail Barriers
Guardrail divided into four types, in addition to an innovative type of barriers with different designs for specific places, such as single, double, triple, and twin guardrail.
These four types are similar in the role they play as we mentioned. In the form of design, they are very similar, differing only in the beams that make up the barriers, either a single beam or, as mentioned, several beams of double, and triple.
All previous types installed and used in the same places. The other type divided from the Guardrail is the MegaSRail.
MegaSRail barriers are an improvement from Guardrail in terms of design and the role they play, as MegaSRail barriers are specially installed in desert and sandy areas, thanks to their unique design, sand can’t accumulate on the body of the barrier so it is not buried over time and thus continues its role in absorbing collision shocks and directing the vehicle back to the road while protecting the driver.
Features of Guardrail Barriers
Many features make metal road barriers essential for road safety:
Extremely durable
We manufactured guardrail from hot- galvanized steel to form the beams for high quality.
Corrosion resistance
Another characteristic of Guardrail is its design, which makes it long-lasting with its corrosion resistance.
Compliant with international standards
Guardrail and MegaSRail Road Barriers certified for their crash-test compliance and road safety.
Specialized team for installation
One of the best things about Shawahid’s Guardrail is the availability of a professional team to install the barriers quickly.
Enhancing traffic safety of Guardrail
What helps to enhance the role of Guardrail is to see them clearly in bad weather conditions as well as during night driving. Shawahid Industrial Roads Company has designed reflectors. Reflectors installed on the Guardrail and MegaSRail barriers after installing the barriers themselves. Reflectors are metal plates on which reflective films are fitted on one face, or the front and back face in dual ways. Thus increase the visibility of the roadsides and the barriers themselves. When the light of car falls on the reflectors, they reflect it on the road.
Efficiency of Guardrail Barriers from Shawahid Co.
Various traffic safety systems are involved in Saudi projects and this is evident in projects such as NEOM—, Qassim and other projects. In these projects, government institutions have used Guardrail and Megarill barriers, as Shawahid is a pioneer in this field.
So we always seek to provide these barriers and supply them as soon as you ordered through our means.
