Concrete Traffic Barriers

Traffic Barriers have grown in number and importance in the last few years, as they provide protection to motorists from head-on collisions. The use of Welded Wire Reinforcement will save you time and money when it comes to reinforcing these important highway products.

The barriers can be cast-in-place concrete or precast concrete with many advantages associated with each type.

Cast-In Place Concrete Barriers

Mile after mile of cast-in-place concrete median barriers have been used across the country and WWR used in many of them. The use of bent cages of Welded Wire Reinforcement made up of large diameter wire has many advantages. The steel has higher yield strength than rebar which allows less steel to be used. The wires can be placed in just the location needed and because the size and spacing can be varied, no over-steeling occurs. Read more about Formed and Slip Formed Concrete Barriers.

Precast Concrete Barriers

Using Welded Wire Reinforcement in Precast Concrete Barriers can save both time and money. The precast concrete barriers can be stored for future use either in the yard of the Precaster or at some other site, such as a Highway Department materials yard.
