Make your mark on highway safety with the barrier system CRASH TESTED to the latest
AASHTO standards
Faster automobiles, higher speed limits and larger more powerful commercial carriers have pushed the demands and control of highway safety to the brink. Factor in a dramatic increase in long-distance commuter traffic and an increasing trend toward driver impatience... and the need for safer roadways is compelling. Many of the more serious accidents on our urban expressways and interstates involve collisions when vehicles lose control and cross median strips into on coming traffic or careen off ramps and bridges. Drivers are at the mercy of the median, ramp and bridge protective safety barriers and railings. Many of the early on structure railing systems cannot now cope with the higher speeds, size and volume of today's traffic. Since the advent of barriers shaped to prevent penetration and overturning, much research has been carried out to evaluate the performance of these safety devices under full-scale crash test conditions. Clampcrete Construction Systems can provide you with an engineered solution that includes both permanent and temporary crash tested barrier meeting current design requirements for PL-2/TL-4 parapets and medians for bridge structures and ramps. This engineered approach can incorporate architectural features with quality made precast concrete that is appropriate for both new, replacement and retrofit construction. The Clampcrete system can be used on straight and curved alignments, can match existing or designed expansion joint layouts and has the added benefit of being able to continue installation regardless of season or weather. The range and versatility of the Clampcrete system makes it the logical solution for your needs and the future of highway safety. |
