Have you ever heard of a road without a W-Beam guardrail? If this happens, there must be another barrier that fits the road because it is dangerous to leave a road without a roadside barrier, including a W-Beam guardrail.
In this article, we will learn about the importance of Guardrail barriers and the places where it is used.
Advantages of W-Beam guardrail barriers
W-Beam guardrail barriers possess several features that make them essential when creating and preparing infrastructure in cities or new roads, which work to preserve the lives of citizens and public property as well as the country’s economy. And we will know how after presenting the special features of the barrier, which are as follows:
- Guardrail barriers are made of hot-galvanized steel rolls.
- The barrier design is resistant to shock and corrosion.
- They don’t require concrete bases when installed.
After discussing some advantages of Guardrail barriers, we will examine the importance of barriers and the benefits they provide to the country and its citizens when using roads with traffic safety and security.
Benefits of W-Beam guardrail barriers
From the previously mentioned advantages of W-Beam guardrail barriers, we can understand the benefits of Guardrail and therefore the importance of its presence.
Galvanization of the barrier
Hot-dip galvanizing and its high quality make it durable, shock-absorbing, and able to withstand extreme environmental conditions as well.
Shock resistance
According to shock absorption and resistance tests, Guardrail barriers withstand vehicle speeds of up to 100 km.
Concrete bases
Because the barrier doesn’t require concrete bases when installing it, the installation was quick and easy for the Shawahid team.
These features and benefits were a way to achieve traffic safety and high protection for people and property, as we will explain to you.
The critical importance of W-Beam guardrail barriers
The primary role for which the W-Beam Guardrail barrier is designed is to protect drivers and road users from the dangers that may occur due to deviation from the road, so the Guardrail barrier performs its role on the sides of the road or in the middle of a two-way road. How?
Let’s imagine a car traveling at a speed of 100 km per hour, and suddenly the driver deviates from his path heading towards the edge of the road or the other lane of cars in a two-way road, in the absence of a barrier, severe injuries will occur in both cases, whether to the driver or to those who will collide with them. The Guardrail absorbs the impact energy of the deviating vehicle and gradually brings the deviating vehicle back into the lane to provide maximum protection for the driver, other vehicles, and the roadway.
The W-Beam guardrail barrier thus accomplishes three things:
Road safety
Passenger and driver safety
Protect property and minimize losses
What Shawahid Co. has added to W-Beam guardrail barriers
