REBLOC 100SFP_8 ensures highest safety on bridges

Concrete barrier expert REBLOC has developed REBLOC 100SFP_8, a powerfully flexible barrier system for new bridges as well as for bridge refurbishment. Tested freestanding, the barrier achieves containment levels H2 with working-width W3 and H4b with W5. It is also possible to achieve H4b with W4 by using an additional position securing system. The safety concrete barrier is part of the REBLOC SWITCH product line which enables the use of the same system as either a temporary or a permanent barrier. All s

REBLOC’s 100SFP_8 flexible barrier system– temporary or permanent
Concrete barrier expert 8751 REBLOC has developed REBLOC 100SFP_8, a powerfully flexible barrier system for new bridges as well as for bridge refurbishment.


Tested freestanding, the barrier achieves containment levels H2 with working-width W3 and H4b with W5. It is also possible to achieve H4b with W4 by using an additional position securing system.

The safety concrete barrier is part of the REBLOC SWITCH product line which enables the use of the same system as either a temporary or a permanent barrier.

All systems use the integrated REBLOC coupling. This not only enhances traffic safety, according to REBLOC, but speeds up installation, meaning fewer travel disruptions and greater traffic safety.

The REBLOC 100SFP_8_H2/W3 has been installed on a bridge undergoing renovation near Regensburg, Germany where the client required a reliable temporary barrier. The system is used as protection against falls onto a rail-track underneath the bridge. It is also used to secure the construction site – an example of the product’s flexible use.

Additionally, expansion joint elements were installed to allow for normal temperature fluctuations. As safety is REBLOC’s highest priority, these expansion joint elements are part of EN 1317-1/2.

    Haitsma Beton in the Netherlands has developed a lightweight precast concrete barrier system for temporary use. This T3 system is said to make investing in vehicle guidance more cost-effective. Each HaiSafe T barrier weighs 1.5tonnes and is over 10% lighter than comparable precast concrete barriers. The system is said to be easy and quick to locate, as well as to to assemble and disassemble. A novel feature is that no anchoring is needed at the ends, because the system has been tested and approved without a

    Barrier Systems says that its new tensioned barrier offers high energy absorbing capabilities in head-on collisions. The company says that this is because the X-Tension technology is a tension-based solution rather than compression-based. The new range delivers good performance in these applications, as energy is absorbed with resistance at the impact head rather than being transferred down the rail as occurs with other systems. Even high-angle (15° during testing) impacts on the nose resulted in the vehicl

Although powered two wheelers account for a comparatively small number of Europe’s vehicles as well as total distance travelled, they account for a disproportionately large number of accidents. Statistical data shows that by far the greatest risk to users of powered two wheelers as well as other vulnerable road users comes from driv

Key developments have been made in barrier design, helping ensure road and highway infrastructure is more passively safe. New barrier designs ensure that errant vehicles are redirected into the roadway, with reduced risks for occupants and also other road users. Continuously slipformed concrete barriers reinforced with steel are now widely
