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.

    High performance markings are among the safety products used to guide traffic safely, but they must be tested and checked. Patrick Smith reports. Road construction zones, zebra crossings, tunnels and areas with frequent fog are particular focal points with regard to road user safety. This is why manufacturers, authorities and contractors are always eager to use innovative road markings and special studs or, where necessary, lane control devices to assist both drivers and pedestrians in all conditions, parti
