Why Are Guardrails Necessary?
As good as a driver you might be yourself, it’s not your driving you have to worry about! Reckless driving and speeding are hazardous for everyone on the road and can’t always be prevented. As such, the best way to control traffic flow and protect drivers and pedestrians is through highway guardrails. Thanks to highway guardrails, you can expect:
- Prevent Vehicle Rollovers: Highway guardrails are designed to prevent vehicles from flipping over, a common and deadly incident in serious accidents.
- Redirect Vehicles: Guardrails protect drivers and passengers by redirecting errant vehicles from potential hazards like steep embankments, bodies of water, or oncoming traffic.
- Control Traffic: They act as a visual and physical guide for drivers, helping to control traffic flow and maintain lane discipline.
- Protect Pedestrians and Cyclists: Especially in urban areas, guardrails play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of pedestrians and cyclists from straying vehicles.
- Minimize Property Damage: By preventing vehicles from veering off the road, guardrails also minimize the potential damage to nearby properties.
- Save Lives: Overall, the most significant benefit of highway guardrails is their ability to save lives by reducing the severity of accidents.
What Are Your Highway Guardrail Options?
All of Hohulin Fence’s guardrail products are quality-approved and tested, promising exceptional strength against impact and resistance to the elements. Each product we install is constructed from steel galvanized continuously in the manufacturing process, providing high-quality and consistent thickness. We then form zinc-coated steel sheets to fit different styles and guardrail profiles. Our guardrail options include:
W-Beam Panels
W-Beam Panels are our most popular guardrail product, known for their durability and effectiveness in road safety. Constructed from galvanized steel, these panels are designed with a unique ‘W’ shape that increases their strength and allows them to absorb high levels of impact. This makes them an excellent choice for highways and major roads where high-speed collisions may occur.
Curved Guardrails
Curved Guardrails are designed to align with the road’s natural curvature, providing added safety along bends and turns. Designed and manufactured similarly to w-beam panels, these guardrails are engineered to absorb impact effectively alongside less conventional roadways with curves and bends. Concave rails are curved towards the vehicle, while convex rails curve away from vehicles.
Guardrail End Treatments
Guardrail End Treatments are important safety features that prevent vehicles from impacting the sharp edges of a guardrail. They are designed to absorb impact forces and safely redirect vehicles away from hazardous areas, minimizing potential damage. Our available end treatment options include anchorages, terminals and crash cushions.
