Bridge barrier is installed on bridges / overpasses / elevated highways and serves to prevent a car from driving off the roadway of these structures.
They also serve to prevent a vehicle from crossing the median and colliding with oncoming traffic on these structures. The bridge barrier can also be installed where it is not possible to install a barrier in the roadbed.
Compared to traffic barriers, bridge barriers have next features:
- Individuality of the design for attaching barriers to the foundational components of the bridge;
- Increased requirements for containement levels (from 250 to 600 kJ).
Bridge barriers produced by Zavod Prodmash are distinguished by a long service life thanks to the use of hot-dip galvanizing during its production.
Specialists of Zavod Prodmash pay special attention to the development of bridge barriers for each specific road object. This ensures an individual approach to each task, as well as the effectiveness of technical solutions developed by Zavod Prodmash.
The safety of the bridge barriers is confirmed by their structural features and the principle of operation. In the event of an accident, the bridge barrier holds the vehicle on the bridge structure and does not allow it to fall off. An additional condition confirming the increased safety of operating bridge barriers is high containement levels of the structures: up to 600 kJ.
