Galvanized steel components and safety barriers

A road traffic barrier’s purpose is to increase traffic safety by preventing vehicles from driving off the road, into dangerous objects or into objects that need protection from colliding vehicles. The two products covered in this EPD are road barrier systems in different sizes. A road barrier system consists of two parts: a horizontal guardrail and vertical posts. These two parts are assembled on site with screws and built into the ground at the roadside, via direct burial (requiring no concrete). Both parts are galvanized steel sheet profiles that have different shapes and steel qualities depending on use and road safety requirements. Based on road classification, there are specific rules and guidelines for choosing a combination of guardrail and post so that the road barrier can function optimally depending on the situation.
