Reinforced Concrete Jersey Barriers (3m)
RTA-compliant 3m K-Rail barriers. C40/50 concrete for high-speed highway safety.
Product Description
Reinforced Concrete Jersey Barrier (3m)
Product Overview
The PrecastUAE Reinforced Concrete Jersey Barrier is the definitive specification for high-speed traffic management, highway diversions, and hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) in the United Arab Emirates. Engineered with the standard K-Rail profile, this 3-meter unit allows for the safe deflection of errant vehicles by minimizing roll-over risk and redirecting momentum parallel to the roadway.
Designed for rapid deployment and maximum durability, these units serve as the backbone of RTA-compliant road safety schemes and critical site security perimeters across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Material Specifications & Quality
Our manufacturing process adheres strictly to BS EN 206 and ASTM C478 standards to ensure structural integrity under impact.
- Concrete Strength: Design mix C40/50 (40 N/mm² Cylinder / 50 N/mm² Cube) at 28 days.
- Cement Type: OPC (Type I) for standard applications; SRC (Type V) available for saline/coastal environments.
- Reinforcement: High-yield deformed steel bars (460 N/mm²) providing tensile strength and crack control.
- Curing: Steam-cured or water-pond cured to achieve 35MPa early strength for safe lifting.
- Finish: F3/F4 off-shutter finish, free from honeycombing and significant voids.
Key Technical Advantages
- Impact Deflection: The dual-slope K-Rail profile lifts the vehicle suspension upon impact, reducing friction and preventing climbing/crossover.
- Interlocking Connectivity: Male/Female interlocking joints ensure a continuous, rigid barrier line that resists lateral displacement during collision.
- Zero-Fixing Stability: At 2,400 kg, the unit’s deadweight provides sufficient inertia to function as a gravity retaining structure or security blockade without ground bolting.
- Lifting System: Integrated lifting eyes or through-holes designed for standard shackles, enabling rapid crane deployment (up to 150m linear run per shift).
