Internationally Recognised Guardrail Suppliers Available at your Doorstep

When discussing road safety products, the W-Beam guardrail safety barrier automatically springs to mind. When considering the procurement of a guardrail safety system, one would think it natural that internationally recognised guardrail suppliers would be consulted.

Benefits of using Internationally Recognised Guardrail Suppliers

Positioned and installed professionally, using raw materials supplied by only the best guardrail suppliers, and under the correct conditions, the W-Beam, steel safety barrier has proven itself to be one of the most effective lifesaving road safety devices. Its corrugated, “W-shaped” side profile adds to its already rigid structure, allowing it to be more effective than other products designed for the same function.

The longitudinal two-wave re-directive panel allows for side impact netting, slowing down and re-directing of the collision vehicle, automatically reducing the risk of fatal injury. Its design assists with absorbing kinetic energy, folding and bending before giving way. In more serious impact collisions, the posts are specifically designed and fitted to jolt free from their mountings, allowing even distribution of energy across the length of the barrier.

The product also induces driver confidence, promoting steering lanes that are closer to the kerb, thus preventing “centre-line crowding” on straight lengths of road or around tight bends. Additionally, top-quality raw materials’ durability and strength make the product ideal for limited-space impact zones. Most effective in median-island, curving bends, opposing traffic and high pedestrian road shoulder applications, for example.

Inversely, the rail barrier not only assists in preventing a vehicle from leaving the road into areas of potentially greater danger. But, it also assists in blocking vehicular traffic, pedestrians or wildlife from traversing the median or wandering into the roadway, thereby protecting both errant obstacles and motorists from potential injury.

If the product is manufactured by leading guardrail suppliers, the quality, durability and longevity of the product naturally increase the entire system’s success rate exponentially. Taking into account that human lives are at stake, inferior product supply could result in structural failure so, at Armco Superlite, we do things right.
