SafeZone®

SafeZone® is a MASH compliant, rapid deployable steel workzone safety barrier. SafeZone® is a smooth faced temporary barrier system, anchored to the ground at each end of the system with the option of additional anchoring to stiffen the system and reduce dynamic deflection when impacted by an errant vehicle.

SafeZone® is fabricated at 5.8m long elements. The system is typically supplied with two (2) elements bolted together providing an element length of 11.6m. Each element features male and female Quik Mount connectors facilitating rapid onsite installation. 

The symmetrical design of SafeZone® enables deployment for verge or median applications and the system may be secured to an asphalt or concrete pavement.

The anchoring frequency of SafeZone may be adjusted to provide three (3) configuration options to meet site deflection and vehicle containment requirements.

    SafeZone® FAQs

    What are the advantages of using a steel workzone barrier?

    The lightweight construction of a steel workzone barrier allows more metres to be transported per truckload when compared to a precast concrete barrier. This feature can significantly reduce transportation costs, particularly for projects in remote locations. 

    How does SafeZone® steel workzone barrier work?

    SafeZone® uses the combination of torsional rigidity, anchoring and system mass to provide safe vehicle containment and redirection.

    How do I lift SafeZone® Workzone barriers?

    SafeZone® is fabricated in lengths of 5.8m. Prior to despatch, two (2) elements are bolted together providing a unit length of 11.6m weighing approximately 1070kg. Each unit may be lifted from the bottom with a forklift or lifted with chains or slings using the two (2) pre-fitted lifting points located at the top of each unit.

    How do I position the workzone barrier at my worksite?

    Sufficient clearance between the temporary steel barrier and worksite must be provided to accommodate the expected dynamic deflection of the safety barrier system.  The deflection of the workzone barrier is dependent upon the speed and mass of the impacting vehicle, the angle of impact and the performance characteristics of the workzone barrier.

    What should I do with anchors shoes that are unused?

    It is recommended that unused anchor shoes are removed to prevent accidental damage.
