What is the difference between a water filled barrier and a concrete barrier?View
Water filled barriers are lightweight and easy to relocate when empty, making them suitable for shorter term or frequently moved applications, while concrete barriers offer greater mass and containment but are heavier and more difficult to relocate.
-
Where are temporary barriers typically used?View
Roadworks, construction sites, and events, wherever traffic needs separating from workers or a hazard for a defined period.
-
Do temporary barriers need to be crash tested?View
Yes, temporary barrier systems are typically crash tested to recognised standards to confirm they provide an appropriate level of protection while in place.
