350 Transpo says that its barrier fencing Screen-Safe glare screen safety shield protects drivers and work zone crews from headlight glare and debris. It is maintenance-free and simple to install on guardrails and concrete barriers. It is also flexible, for both permanent and temporary work zone applications. Screen-Safe is made from a double-reversed corrugated fabric, formed from hot-dipped galvanised sheet steel. The fabric is also powder-coated to provide additional protection from salt and snow. All-steel assembly components make Screen-Safe the most durable highway glare screen and work zone safety shield available to the transportation industry, according to the company. It can be installed in permanent locations on concrete barriers and steel guardrails. It is also ideal for curved roadways, access ramps, raised highways, construction lanes and toll-booth plazas. For temporary work zone installations it can be quickly removed and reinstalled at a new location, with minimal disruption to traffic flow. Screen-Safe’s double-reversed corrugated fabric is made from 25 gauge steel sheet, AISI 1010 or 1008, and hot-dip galvanised to ASTM A-653, coating designation G90. The finish is a light grey, medium-gloss powder-coat with zinc. It conforms to ASTM D 523 for gloss and B 117 for salt spray resistance, reference test for Bonderite. The film thickness minimum is 1.8 mils.

    New developments in road equipment systems are the product of innovation in engineering and are helping boost safety. Despite an improvement in road safety over recent years, road accidents and their consequences remain a serious social problem. To limit the potential of accidents, the performance of road equipment such as safety barriers and lighting poles are defined by European standards (EN1317 and EN 12767). As CE-Marking to these standards is now based on performance requirements and not on national h

    The problem: motorcyclist fatalities can occur from a variety of accidents. But in the United States in 2005, motorcyclists comprised 42% of fatalities due to guardrail collisions, whereas only 3% of vehicles on the roads were motorcycles (Gabler, 2007). More motorcyclists were killed in guardrail collisions than passengers of any other vehicle type in 2005 (Gabler, 2007). Guardrails cannot simply be removed to protect motorcyclists. However, improvements need to be made in several areas in order to keep mo

  • Steel wire barriers provide rock fall protection
    February 6, 2012
    In Gibraltar, where the entire population lives on or close to the huge limestone rock that gives the nation its name, the issue of rock fall protection is taken very seriously. Here, a scheme to install a network of rock fall catchment fences has just been completed, which will allow the re-opening of a critically important road at the south-eastern end of the Rock, which was closed following a significant rock fall occurrence in 2002.
