DELTABLOC develops Zero Debris Concrete Barrier

Mercedes-Benz says that it’s low-entry Econic truck has been awarded the maximum safety-specific five-star Direct Vision rating by Transport for London. Utilities contractor Ferns Surfacing has just invested in a pair of 32tonne Mercedes-Benz Econic trucks decked out as tipper-grabs and is operating them on surface reinstatement and resurfacing duties in and around London. Ferns has 10 depots across south-east England and East Anglia, north-east of London. With its deep, panoramic windscreen and full-heig

DELTABLOC has introduced what it says is “ground-breaking technology”, the extremely robust Zero Debris Concrete Barrier.

It can take three times the impact energy of standard concrete without breaking or cracking, according to DELTABLOC. This not only reduces the need for repair and maintenance, but significantly reduces the number of dangerous work zones that would be created along a highway for repairing otherwise damaged barrier systems.

The performance of Zero Debris Concrete was confirmed through several crash tests at containment level H2 and H4b and DELTABLOC is now offering the innovation as the company’s premium safety line.

    Highway construction work zones are dangerous places, and anything that can improve safety is welcomed as Patrick Smith reports. The safe and efficient flow of traffic through work zones is a major concern to transportation officials, industry, the public, businesses, and commercial motor carriers. This is the view of the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which has developed the Highway Work Zone Safety Program to reduce the fatalities and injurious crashes in work zones, and to enhance traffic oper
