Superior Safety with Advanced Engineering

Our guardrails are crafted from premium galvanized steel, designed to efficiently absorb and dissipate impact energy. They act as a crucial safety shield on highways, bridges, flyovers, and embankments to prevent vehicles from veering off the road or crossing into opposing lanes. The modular construction simplifies installation and maintenance, making them an ideal choice for a diverse range of roadway projects.

Unmatched Durability and Customization Options

With a hot dip galvanized finish complying with IS and ASTM standards, our barriers deliver long-term resistance against corrosion and environmental wear. Customers can choose from various beam types, thicknesses, profiles, and lengths to suit their project requirements. Color customization is also available to fit regional preferences or visibility standards, ensuring optimal functionality and appearance.

FAQs of Metal Crash Barriers (Guardrails):

Q: How are metal crash barriers installed on highways or bridges?

A: Metal crash barriers are installed by securing the C, U, or Sigma posts into the ground at specified intervals. W Beam or Thrie Beam guardrails are then attached to these posts using spacer blocks, bolts, nuts, and washers. The modular design allows for streamlined installation and easy scaling for the length required.

Q: What standards do your metal guardrails conform to?

A: Our metal guardrails are manufactured following international and national standards such as IRC:SP:84, MORTH, and AASHTO M180. The hot dip galvanized process is executed as per IS 2062/IS 10748 and ASTM A123 guidelines, ensuring reliable quality and safety performance.

Q: When is it necessary to install a guardrail system?

A: Guardrail systems are essential in areas where there is a risk of vehicles leaving the roadway. Typical applications include highways, expressways, flyovers, bridges, road medians, and embankments, especially at curves, slopes, or locations prone to high traffic and accident rates.

Q: Where can your metal crash barriers be used?

A: Our metal crash barriers can be installed on highways, expressways, bridges, flyovers, road medians, and embankments. They are adaptable for both urban and rural infrastructure projects across varied terrains and conditions.

Q: What is the process for customizing guardrail size and thickness?

A: We offer customization based on project specifications. Clients provide details such as required beam type, thickness (commonly 3 mm or as needed), length, post profile, and desired finish or color. Our engineering team then designs and manufactures the barriers to precise requirements.

Q: How do metal crash barriers enhance road safety?

A: These barriers absorb and redirect the force of vehicle impacts, reducing the risk of severe accidents by preventing vehicles from leaving the roadway or entering oncoming lanes. This function significantly enhances the overall safety for motorists and pedestrians alike.

Q: What are the main benefits of choosing your galvanized steel crash barriers?

A: Key benefits include high durability, excellent corrosion resistance, compliance with global standards, and low maintenance needs. The modular, customizable design allows for easy installation and adaptability to different road safety projects, offering long-term protection and value.
