Features & Benefits

Functions

Precast concrete highway barriers serve as essential safety components on roadways, designed to manage traffic flow and protect drivers, pedestrians, and construction crews. These barriers are engineered to absorb impact, reduce vehicle crossover incidents, and clearly delineate lanes, especially in high-speed or high-traffic zones. Their durable, modular design allows for quick installation and repositioning, making them ideal for both permanent and temporary applications.

Benefits

Precast concrete highway barriers offer superior strength, stability, and long-term performance. Concrete’s mass and rigidity make it highly effective at stopping or redirecting vehicles during collisions, providing better protection for drivers, workers, and pedestrians. Unlike metal or plastic alternatives, which can shift or deteriorate over time, or require frequent maintenance. Precast concrete’s durability not only extends the service life of the barrier but also enhances safety on both temporary work zones and permanent roadway installations.

Questions & Answers

What's the best type of highway barrier for my project?

The best type of highway barrier depends on several factors, including project location, traffic volume, speed limits, and safety requirements. Common options include Jersey barriers, F-shape barriers, and K-Rail barriers, each desgined for specific applications such as work zones, medians and perimeter protection. Our team can help you determine the most suitable barrier based on your project’s needs and compliance requirements.

Are these precast concrete barriers reinforced?

Yes, our precast concrete highway barriers are reinforced with steel rebar or wire mesh to increase strength, durability, and impact resistance. This internal reinforcement helps the barriers withstand harsh conditions and vehicle collisions, ensuring they meet or exceed federal and state safety requirements. Reinforced barriers offer reliable, long-term performance in both permanent and temporary traffic control applications.

How do local regulations impact selection & placement of barriers?

Local regulations dictate the type, placement, and installation of highway barriers to ensure safety and compliance with transportation standards. Factors such as barrier height, crash test ratings, and anchoring requirements vary by state and municipality. We recommend checking with your local Department of Transportation (DOT) or regulatory agency to confirm compliance before selecting a barrier.
