Rebloc barriers are on the straight and narrow

Rebloc says that its barriers with narrow working widths and high containment levels provide the lowest dynamic deflection to ensure minimum movement during an accident. As only limited space is available on a construction site, a low working width of the barrier is crucial. The aim is to maximise the room for traffic movement at the same time as construction operations.

As only limited space is available on a construction site, a low working width of the barrier is crucial. The aim is to maximise the room for traffic movement at the same time as construction operations. The working width of temporary barriers is determined by the width of the system plus its dynamic lateral movement in the event of an accident.

Rebloc’s coupling without loose parts prevents unauthorised removal of the barrier elements and eliminates installation errors. The company says that quick and easy installation is possible regardless of the weather. It is possible to install up to 400m of barrier in one hour.

    Rebloc has developed an end-terminal for performance class P2A barriers with an impact severity level A designed specifically for traffic management on construction sites.

    The end terminal has been successfully tested according to ENV 1317-4 and is particularly suitable for use in combination with temporary vehicle restraint systems.

    The company, based in Austria, said that a standout feature of the system is the unanchored setup and the narrow width of only 240mm. The width matches exactly with the width of the connected temporary Rebloc barrier.
