Highway guardrails are the most prevalent type of metal barrier used to secure road edges and medians, helping to prevent vehicles from straying from the roadway.
Road guardrail is used both inside and outside cities and varies in shape and size depending on project requirements, including single, dual, triple, and double types.
Specifications of Highway Guardrails:
- Guardrail barriers consist of a group of steel pillars attached to a metal beam that protect drivers and vehicles in the event of a collision by reducing the severity and intensity of the impact.
- Single- or double-sided reflectors are fitted to barriers on two-way roads to enhance the visibility of the road barriers.
- Guardrail barriers can be supported by end terminal barriers to prevent collision with the front of the beam.
Uses of Highway Guardrails:
- When a veering vehicle collides with guardrail barriers, the barriers protect passengers from the risk of veering off by redirecting the car back onto its path.
- According to shock absorption tests, guardrail barriers can withstand vehicle speeds of up to 100 km/h.
Features of Highway Guardrails:
- High-quality hot-dip galvanized metal coils ensure extreme durability and resistance.
- Long lifespan due to impact- and corrosion-resistant design.
- Various sizes for specific speeds (50 – 80 – 100 – 110 km/h, etc.).
- Different types of barriers: single, dual, thrie beam barrier, and double.
- Compliant with international crash tests.
- Easy installation because no concrete bases required.
- Easy maintenance due to the joint parts and sections.
