The Ironman Hybrid Barriers with End Treatment recently deployed in Victoria’s North West region, successfully redirected a 60 tonne B triple truck possibly saving the life of the truck driver who had fallen asleep behind the wheel, and potentially other contractors and operators nearby. It’s a great example of how a work zone barrier can genuinely save lives.
The Ironman Hybrid Barrier offers excellent flexibility for 40, 60 and some 80km/h projects, and has an Austroads Safety Barrier Assessment Panel (ASBAP) approval to 80km/h. This freestanding temporary longitudinal approved crash barrier system has been successfully crash tested to NCHRP 350 TL-3 and MASH TL2 70kph. It’s lightweight and stackable design offers transport cost savings when compared to traditional concrete barriers.
