Bridge Guardraisl

Bridge Guardrail Railings, Fences, Beams
Bridge guardrails are a type of barrier used to separate lanes of vehicular
traffic on bridges. They are designed to absorb impact and reduce the
likelihood of serious injury or death if a collision were to occur. The main
differences between bridge guardrails and other guardrails are that bridge
guardrails are taller and wider than standard Type A guardrails, as they must
protect against higher-velocity impacts due to their location on bridges.
Regarding production and sale, bridge guardrails should comply with applicable
local regulations and standards. Furthermore, they must be tested to confirm
compliance before being put into production and sale.

The bridge railing guardrail is used along the bridges, viaducts and roads,
finished with powder coating and zinc gavanizing.

Bridge guard railings are made of carbon steel, stainless steel or other base
materials, supplied in various designs to meet specific grades and
requirements.

There are 9 common bridge guardrail types:
1. W-Beam Guardrail – a standard highway guardrail with a w-shaped profile;
2. Cable Barrier – a flexible system of cables suspended between posts;
3. Beam Barrier – a pre-fabricated beam that can be installed quickly;
4. Thrie Beam Guardrail – three corrugations in a w-beam pattern for extra
strength;
5. Post & Block System – posts and blocks used to mount guardrails;
6. Steel Railing – steel railing designed to deter vehicles from running off
the road;
7. Crash Cushion – a flexible system designed to absorb impact;
8. Impact Attenuator – an impact absorbing device which reduces the forces
transmitted after a vehicle collision;
9 Folding Guardrail – a collapsible guardrail designed to open up when hit,
then reset itself.
