More than just traffic barricades
Concrete barriers are used for more than just traffic barricades; they are also very useful to protect utilities from being damaged by heavy equipment or tractor trailers. Concrete barriers are also well suited to protect propane or other above ground fuel tanks from being struck by vehicles. And, concrete barriers are perfect for deterring unwanted traffic from entering driveways or access points to your facility.
Cost effective way to segregate bulk materials
Concrete barriers are also a cost effective way to segregate bulk materials from each other. Whether you need to keep different grades of coal, salt, or different types of landscape materials separate, concrete barriers are the way to go.
Build berms or walls that need to stand up to the test of time
Additionally, concrete barriers are ideally suited to build berms or walls that need to stand up to the test of time. Due to the dense heavy construction of concrete barriers, barriers can be used to build berms that do not wash away and can be driven upon immediately when properly constructed. Finally, concrete barriers are effective at inhibiting erosion for areas that suffer from extreme washouts.
We primarily handle used 10 foot Jersey style barriers which weigh approximately 4,000 lbs each. Jersey style barriers are 10 feet long, 32 inches tall and 24 inches wide at the base. We also handle the “F” style concrete traffic barriers. These barriers are 12.5 feet long, 32 inches tall, and 28 inches wide. They weigh in at 5,300 pounds.
Introducing an exciting new barrier…. Texas-10 concrete barriers are designed to be lighter than the typical Jersey barrier while still retaining the same measurements and functionality. Each Texas-10 is 10 feet long, 32 inches tall, 24 inches wide, but only weighs 3,200 lbs. Texas-10 concrete barriers are more economical to be hauled over long distances. A truck that can carry 48,000 lbs of payload can haul up to 14 Texas-10 barriers; that’s 140 linear feet per truckload!
