Since its introduction to the highway safety industry in 2008, the Zoneguard® steel barrier system has become the most widely used temporary steel barrier in the country. DOT’s, contractor’s, and traffic control companies throughout the U.S. have seen firsthand its many safety and money-saving benefits. Designed to protect highway travelers, as well as road and construction crews, Zoneguard® offers the maximum safety requirements, as it meets NCHRP 350 and MASH crash test standards. Temporary concrete barrier systems are costly, heavy to transport and handle, time-consuming and do not provide the energy-absorbing capabilities of Zoneguard®. Today’s contractors, engineers and DOTs have a responsibility to provide the upmost safety to the driving public, while meeting tight budgets and timelines. Zoneguard® provides a cost-effective and efficient barrier solution and is available nationwide for rent and purchase.
The most costly expense when utilizing temporary barrier is often the trucking to and from the jobsite. Zoneguard’s design allows for 750 LF to be hauled on one flatbed trailer. Compare that to 90-120 LF of concrete barrier that can be hauled on a truck.
Saving time during the installation process can reduce labor costs and speed up project completion. The ability to maximize a truckload and install 50 feet (std. unit length) in one pick will allow up to 1,500 LF to be installed in an hour. Zoneguard’s patented Speed Joint connection slides together quickly and requires no loose parts.
Made of long-lasting galvanized steel, Zoneguard® can withstand nuisance impacts and regular movements with little to no visible wear-and-tear, unlike concrete barrier, which can experience chipping/cracking/ spalling during installation, relocation and storing.
Zoneguard® has been extensively tested and has been accepted by the FHWA as meeting NCHRP 350 TL-3 & TL-4 and MASH TL-3. Zoneguard’s rigid cross-section,and low center of gravity enable deflections which are comparable to heavier temporary concrete barriers.
The Smart Cushion® crash attenuator is a revolutionary, speed-dependent product that varies stopping resistance during an impact. The Smart Cushion® crash attenuator allows lighter and slower-moving vehicles to have longer ridedown distances and lower ridedown g-forces.
Unlike fixed-resistance attenuators, the Smart Cushion® attenuator does not reach maximum stopping resistance unless a vehicle is traveling at the maximum design speed. This fully re-directive, non-gating, bidirectional, impact attenuator was designed for maximum safety and reusability, as well as outstanding durability before, during and after an impact.
