Safe Barriers

Free Standing Defender 70 / 100FS offers a barrier system that gives you safety standards that far exceed those offered by water-filled barriers, with deflections that are close to those offered by many regular high speed barrier systems without the need for water or anchors. Optional ballast boxes are fitted to the core Defender Barrier, to give you a barrier system that requires no anchoring. In a standard work zone of 80 kph with two lanes of traffic the deflection is normalised at less than half a metre. This is far better than any plastic product and as good as many other heavier barriers. Free Standing Defender 70 / 100FS is tested at both 70 kph (TL2) and 100 kph (TL3) test standards. The system is ideal in areas where underground services are an issue or where there is a need to regularly move the system during the project.

Anchored Defender Barrier 100LDS / 100HC is the core Defender Barrier system, engineered, designed and tested to offer the highest level of site safety by complying with the latest MASH 16 test standards. Defender 100LDS / 100HC is the first full system available that has been tested with a crash cushion ensuring that the system meets the MASH 16 standard from Approach to Departure. Defender 100LDS / 100HC is tested to MASH 16 TL3 and TL-4 making it suitable for deployment in high speed work zones to 100 kph. MASH 16 testing requires impacts from vehicles substantially heavier than the old NCHRP regime, which means that that Defender 100LDS / 100HC can give you the certainty of being able to perform when impacted by the bigger and heavier modern vehicle fleet. The system is designed to be simple to install. If your site requires low deflection because of tight work space, the system is deployed as Defender 100LDS, with the supplied pins installed at every second barrier. If you have room to move you can cut your installation costs by deploying as Defender 100HC, by pinning every 12th barrier. Unlike any other barrier on the market today Defender Barrier has also been tested on a surface comprised only of AASHTO soil with no asphalt or seal to ensure that the system will still perform as expected.
