Novel transition system for use between steel to concrete barriers

German firm PASS+CO has developed a novel product that can be used as a transition between steel and concrete barriers. Called the FLEXTRA SR-C, this product meets the European H2 rating under the EN1317 and connects the firm’s own SUPER-RAIL H4b double barrier with concrete structures. This can be installed in an array of applications, such as at the entrance to tunnels or tolling areas, where there is a need for a transition from one type of barrier to another.

    A novel dual-layer concrete paving technique has been used on jobsites in Germany on the country’s high-speed Autobahn network This technique allows the construction of a strong and durable roadway structure able to cope with heavy traffic loads and offer a long working life. In four German states, Wirtgen SP-1500 slipformers have been employed by four different contractors to carry out dual-layer paving. The method allows a noise-reducing, non-skid exposed aggregate surface to be placed over a bottom
