Metal Fencing Specialists - W Beam Guardrail
The W-Beam Guardrail system is the most commonly used roadside safety barrier system Australia-wide. The key reason for its popularity and widespread use is that it consists of a post and block design, which has been crash tested as being highly effective in the reduction of snagging and preventing vehicles from vaulting or rolling over the safety barrier. Test results have shown that in vehicle accident scenarios involving W-Beam Guardrails, the crash energy is significantly absorbed by the rotation of the posts and through the surrounding soil before the separation of the guardrail. When the guardrail and posts separate, the rail forms a re-directive ribbon, guiding the vehicle away from the nearby hazard and reducing the chance of the vehicle hurdling over the barrier. https://www.metalfencingspecialists.com.au/services/roadside-guardrails/w-beam-guardrail/
