Water filled barrier FAQs:
Our water filled barriers range from 28kg (EVO road barrier) to 600kg (RB22 crash barrier) when filled. Please check the specification sheet on each product page to find out the weight, when filled, of your preferred barrier.
Water filled barriers can be used for a range of applications including roadside and construction site safety, pedestrian and vehicle segregation, perimeter protection, and security at outdoor events.
All our water filled barriers (apart from the RB1000 barrier) allow fence attachments, which slot in easily to the top of the barrier, for extra security and safety. You can choose from mesh or solid fence panels and many of our barriers also allow for the addition of either vehicle or pedestrian gates for access control at preferred points in the barrier wall.
Our water filled barriers are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which has a high strength-to-density ratio, making them very durable.
Most of our water filled barriers have slots at the bottom for fork lifts so they can easily be moved using machinery when filled. When empty, our water filled barriers can be moved around by hand.
No, these barriers do not come with ground fixing capability. However, all of our water filled barriers are designed using very durable materials and have been successfully wind tested. Once filled with water, they cannot easily be moved.
Some of our water filled barriers, such as the RB22, are crash tested. This barrier is designed to withstand the impact of vehicles travelling up to 50 miles per hour, which means the RB22 is ideal for use on highways or by roadsides where works are underway.
Yes – our water-filled barriers may be filled with sand or water.
Depending on which water filled barrier you choose, each barrier holds a different amount of water and should be filled to the marked water line. Please check the specification datasheet on each product page to find out how much water your barrier should hold.
If the barrier is correctly filled to the marked waterline, there will be enough space left inside for the water to expand if it freezes. They are designed for all weather conditions.
In accordance with the Department for Transport’s Safety at Street Works and Road Works Code of Practice your safety zone must be marked off with cones and/or barriers. Warning lights should be placed where necessary i.e. on roads with a speed limit of 40 mph, during the hours of darkness, or on unlit roads. We are however able to add reflective strips to water filled barriers if you require.
Specification datasheets and installation guides can be found and downloaded from each water filled barrier product page.
