New barrier design leads to new orders
A short while ago we were contacted by an existing client,
a major steel manufacturer who commissioned us to
design an innovative road barrier. Innovation was required
as the barrier was to be installed in a location where there
were height restrictions and the dimensions of the area
meant a conventional barrier was unsuitable. Our client
requested a cranked arm barrier which folded to the side
to maximise head room in a confined space. Added to this,
the barrier had to be fitted under a crane gantry.
The challenge was to design a barrier folding, as pictured
to the left. Due to the high volume of traffic using this
plant, it was decided to base the design on our established
medium duty 660 barrier pictured above right.
Our design engineers tackled the challenge with their usual dedication, resulting in a cost effective
cranked arm design which included a modified program for the controller. The concept was agreed
with the client’s project team and we duly manufactured a bespoke solution to the satisfaction of our
client, whilst keeping within time and budget constraints.
Such has been the success of this project that it has resulted in a repeat order for the same site and,
through word of mouth, has led to a further order from another client for supply and install as part of
the Cross Rail project.
Whilst there are barriers in the market place, our solution is different to the ones we have seen and
works effectively and reliably.
