Many road work projects call for the placement or construction of large fixed hazards (i.e. concrete barriers) within the work zone. In the case of temporary portable concrete barriers, they are designed to serve two purposes;
• Protect workers from traffic hazards.
• Protect motorists from road work hazards, as the flat exposed end of the concrete barrier itself creates a hazard.
The difficulty with these types of impact hazards is to find a compliant and cost effective solution that addresses both sides of this issue. Furthermore, this problem is compounded by the fact that most road work projects are short term and space is often limited.
GP Roadway Solutions Rental Services stocks impact attenuators such as barrels, water filled barriers, and crash cushion devices. Contractors do not need to invest thousands of dollars for a temporary system that is not needed at the end of the project.
