Temporary Guardrail Barrier System
Smarter Work Zone Protection Without the Cost of Concrete Barriers
Where roadway geometry and setback allow, the Temporary Guardrail Barrier System provides a DOT-compliant, engineered alternative to precast concrete barrier wall. This solution delivers equivalent safety performance while significantly reducing cost, improving installation efficiency, and supporting sustainable construction practices—without compromise.
Cost-Efficient Protection
A DOT-Compliant Alternative Delivering Up to 75% Cost Savings
Replacing temporary concrete barrier with temporary guardrail can reduce total work-zone protection costs by 70–75%, including installation, maintenance, and removal. Savings are driven by lower material costs, reduced equipment requirements, and streamlined logistics.
Additional Advantage Beyond Savings
Sustainable by Design
Guardrail components sourced from previous projects carry little to no material cost and can be reused multiple times. This reuse model delivers margin efficiencies exceeding 70% while significantly reducing construction waste and material demand.
Proven Safety Performance
Installed to the same standards as permanent roadway guardrail—including drop-hammered posts and full DOT compliance—temporary guardrail is approved for use on any speed roadway, including high-speed highways and major corridors.
Efficient Installation
Installation rates average approximately 1,000 feet per night, comparable to concrete barrier wall, while requiring fewer trucks, smaller crews, and substantially less logistical support—reducing both cost and operational complexity.
Applications
Multi-Mile Highway Projects
Well-suited for resurfacing operations, lane widening, and long-duration work zones where the rental, staging, and mobilization costs of temporary precast concrete barrier become prohibitive.
Commercial & Industrial Applications
Beyond roadway environments, reclaimed guardrail serves as a durable vehicle-impact barrier for:
-
Distribution and logistics centers
-
Auto auction facilities
-
Heavy-equipment storage yards
-
Municipal airports and ports
-
Utility and energy sites
-
Recycling and scrap operations
-
Agricultural and livestock enclosures
-
Commercial and industrial perimeter security
A Smarter Alternative to Concrete Barriers
The Temporary Guardrail Barrier System gives contractors and agencies a proven way to maintain safety, control costs, and meet sustainability goals—especially on large-scale or extended-duration projects.
