The anchored REBLOC 185A precast concrete barrier offers the best protection against errant vehicles

The impact of heavy goods vehicles with bridges – be it piers, overhead signs, suspension cables or other street furniture – continues to be a major issue for highway owners and local authorities. There is always the chance that damage to a bridge’s structure could at any time render it unsafe for further use until repairs are made.

The REBLOC 185A barrier is the world's first extensively tested and fully compliant EN 1317-1/2 standard safety barrier with the highest containment levels H4a and H4b. It has a working width of W1 and W2 and has an outstanding VI2 vehicle intrusion level. The barrier is 1.85m high x 0.57m wide and only requires a footprint of just 0.8m, making the system suitable for a vast array of bridge types.

The anchored barrier offers the best protection against errant vehicles; preventing the vehicle from breaking through or projecting over the barrier. Damage to the bride structure is limited and – importantly – driver and passenger safety is greatly enhanced.

Due to its modular design and a patented coupling system, the REBLOC 185A is quickly and effortlessly installed onsite irrespective of the season or weather conditions. Fast and efficient installation shortens the time of restrictive measures for traffic.

REBLOC is a specialist in precast concrete barriers, providing a wide range of road safety solutions for almost every permanent and temporary application on roads and bridges, including integrated noise protection, emergency gates and urban safety systems.
