A new safety barrier can protect pedestrians and property from out of control vehicles. Called Curb-I, the system is a triple bollard barrier assembly that can be quickly and easily installed on pedestrian walkways and in front of commercial areas to provide protection. Developed by 1321 RSA Protective Technologies, the Curb-It system has undergone extensive testing and can be used to stop vehicles weighing up to 2.3tonnes and travelling at up to 13km/h. Vehicles are typically deflected by up to 3m after impact with the Curb-It triple bollard barrier, according to RSA Protective Technologies. A single person can install the system in less than an hour using standard tools and without the need for pneumatic hammers, poured concrete, street closures or debris removal. The Curb-It bollard system is made from carbon steel and is corrosion-resistant with an anti-slip polymer coating along the base. Bollards measure 914mm high by 152mm in diameter and stand 1.22m apart, while weighing 318kg. The system comes with a one-year factory warranty and is specifically designed as an affordable safety retrofit solution for applications such as fuel stations, schools, restaurants or outdoor dining areas.

    To meet a need to carry out complex modern bridge designs, the Terex Bid-Well 3600 paver is available with truss transition inserts, increasing maximum paving width from 27.4-33.5m. The inserts adjust truss depth from 914-1219mm toward the paver’s centre, reducing frame deflection and this is said to increase surface profile smoothness. Offering paving widths from 4.6-33.5m with optional transition inserts, the 3600 gives companies more versatility for paving a wide variety of bridge designs, including mult
