Why should you use precast concrete safety barriers on your project?
In this article, we’ll discuss some of the many benefits of using precast concrete safety barriers, and how the team at Specialty Precast can assist you.
Advantages of Using Precast Concrete Safety Barriers
Want to know more about the many benefits of using precast concrete safety barriers on your project. Here, we’ll break it down in further detail.
Many Uses
There are many ways in which precast concrete safety barriers can be used. Some of these include:
– traffic management
– event management
– prevent crashes or hazards
– exclusion zones
– maintain security
Temporary or Permanent
Precast concrete safety barriers are a reliable choice because they offer either a permanent or temporary solution to your needs. And they can be adapted to your needs as required.
Weather Resistant
Plastic cones and safety barriers are brightly coloured but truth be told, they aren’t that durable.
Precast concrete is one of the sturdiest materials around and can last decades? Can you say the same about plastic?
Reduces Fly Tipping
Worried about fly tipping (AKA illegal dumping). This is something you can avoid when you choose precast concrete safety barriers to provide you with the protection and security you need.
Sustainable & Thermally Insulated
Precast concrete is highly regarded for its environmentally friendly properties. Not only is there reduced waste during the manufacturing process, it is also 100% recyclable and thermally insulated to suit a variety of temperature-controlled environments.
Counterweight
Another advantage of using precast concrete safety barriers on your construction project is their dual purpose. If needed, they can be relied upon as counterweights.
Easy to Transport & Difficult to Move
While precast concrete is easy to transport with the right equipment, it’s not as easy to move once it’s in place. This is an advantage particularly when compared to plastic safety barriers, as it reduces your chances of vandalism and you’re also less likely to have people move or steal your barriers.
High Quality & Aesthetically Pleasing
Sure, plastic safety barriers and light poles are effective. But are they high quality? When it comes down to it, they can be easily knocked over or damaged (not to mention the fact that they don’t look that great).
On the other hand, precast concrete is manufactured in accordance with safety regulations with each piece checked for quality control before it gets to your site. And it is aesthetically pleasing.
