Crash Barriers

Worthy Crash Barriers On South Africa’s Roads

Many South African families have suffered the trauma and heart ache of losing a loved one to another’s negligence on the road. For this reason every effort has been made to ensure that there are a wide variety of crash barriers, guard rails, barrier guards and various other road safety products and features included on our roads. These products are designed and created with the main purpose of not just warning of danger, but actually saving lives should an accident occur. Crash barriers are known to provide protection and lessen the amount of accidents, injuries and deaths that occur on our roads

South Africa’s roads boast a wide variety of crash barriers and these are all actually designed by a leading safety product and feature manufacturer, Armco RSP. All crash barriers and safety products found on our roads are designed and created at Armco RSP’s very own hot dip galvanising plant which is also SABS ISO 1461 accredited.

There is no surprise that each and every product manufactured here is done so according to SABS ISO 9002 quality standards.  Only the best quality materials are used here and all products finally installed on our roads are guaranteed to be able to withstand the harsh weather conditions, even when exposed to the elements for an extended period of time.  

The following crash barriers are found on South Africa’s roads in each province:

• Quad Guard systems – these crash barriers are known to offer the latest technology in shielding. It absorbs the energy of a collision and acts as a crash cushion.
• Guardrail – these crash barriers are accepted internationally and are designed to indicate the limit of safe travel. Centre line crowding is discouraged while driver confidence is encouraged. These are most often seen along busy roads where there is a steep verge.
• Barrier guards – these temporary steel safety barriers absolutely ideal for catching a vehicle. They have undergone a number of tests and are known to meet with European performance standards. 
• Wire rope safety fences – these crash barriers are most often installed on dual carriage freeways and busy highways. They are to ensure that head on collisions do not occur and to catch vehicles that may spin out of control.
• ABC terminals – these are crash worthy steel posts known to actually absorb the energy of a crash of a vehicle travelling up to 110km/h. They are found mostly at the beginning and end of a highway barrier.

These are just a few of the crash barriers and safety features manufactured by Armco RSP.
