Water-Filled Plastic Traffic Barriers
RTA-approved HDPE barriers for temporary urban diversions.
Product Description
Water-Filled HDPE Traffic Barrier
Product Overview
The Water-Filled HDPE Traffic Barrier is the primary solution for temporary traffic management and short-term site delineation in the UAE. Engineered from high-impact, UV-stabilized High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), these barriers provide a highly visible, physically imposing deterrent to vehicle encroachment.
When filled with water or sand, they form a solid, continuous wall suitable for low-speed diversions and pedestrian protection. Their lightweight empty state ensures rapid manual deployment without the need for heavy lifting equipment.
Material Specifications & Quality
- Material: Virgin HDPE with UV inhibitors (UV8 rating or higher).
- Wall Thickness: Uniform thickness ensuring resistance to puncture and cracking.
- Colors: UV-resistant Red and White pigments for standard alternating deployment.
Key Technical Advantages
- RTA Compliance: Meets local specifications for temporary road safety furniture.
- Impact Absorption: Fluid-filled core absorbs kinetic energy during minor impacts, reducing damage to both the barrier and the vehicle.
- Interlocking Design: Integrated pin or tongue-and-groove system allows barriers to pivot, enabling the creation of smooth curves and tight corners.
- Logistical Efficiency: Stackable design maximizes transport volume; lightweight manual handling reduces labor costs.
