Wire Rope Barriers

Speeding along a dual carriage freeway may fill you with insecurity as you see cars on the other side zooming past you. Anything can happen on the other side of the freeway and you can find yourself in trouble, due to no fault of your own. For this very reason wire rope barriers have been installed down the centre of most dual carriage freeways in South Africa.

Armco RSP is a South African company dedicated to manufacturing and installing some of the country’s best road safety features. Along with their other products they manufacture the wire rope barriers found on our roads. These wire barriers are made from a strong wire mesh which is held in place by stainless steel fittings. The fence is strong enough to “catch” a vehicle that may spin out of control and head towards the opposite side of the road. The fence snaps when the vehicle crashes into, causing the impact to be broken and the vehicle to be stopped. These fences are fairly easy to repair as panels can be replaced as a whole. As it is dangerous to be in the middle of a freeway repairing a fence, all staff members involved in the installation of these stretches of fence is highly trained in order to carry out the task efficiently and with as little hassle or hold up as possible.

The wire rope safety fence is galvanised to the SABS ISO 1462 safety standards at Armco RSP’s very own hot dip galvanising plant. In fact, each and every safety product manufactured by this team meets with and often even exceeds European safety standards.
