Once you get to the stage where you need to pick a barrier system, you must make sure it is the correct one. In any situation, the selection of a system has to take the following elements into account.
Restraint
We will begin with these vital requirements. You will have to figure out the amount of restraint the crash barriers must offer. Determine the vehicle mix and traffic volume. Do the same for the consequences of vehicle penetration and critical site features. In some cases, there is going to be a high number of commercial vehicles. Here, you may foresee several disastrous outcomes. If you do, this might warrant the introduction of a system with a superior performance level.
Deflection
This is another major element. You need to provide adequate clearance between the hazard and the barrier. Doing so shall enable the dynamic deflection of your barrier when the impact happens. Continuity and consistency are also vital. When possible, you should avoid short lengths of barrier. Additionally, it is best to carry on with a single variety of barrier instead of having a mix of styles.
Maintenance
Think about upkeep as well. This consists of the routine maintenance of the actual barrier. There is also the repairs you must do following an impact. Not to mention, you have to remember the effect the barrier will have on how you maintain the adjoining road.
