Asset owners and contractors in Idaho cannot afford W-beam guiderail that no longer performs, not with the traffic volumes on I-84, I-90, I-15, and US-95.
Corroded, flattened, or under-height W-beam guiderail stops performing the moment a vehicle contacts it. Non-compliant post spacing or missing blockouts turns a standard run into a liability.
W-beam guiderail is the workhorse of roadside safety on Idaho's interstates and state highways, and it only works when installed to current MASH standards with correct deflection distance behind the rail.
RailCo LLC, RoadGuard's Idaho-based division, delivers roadside safety work across Idaho. RailCo draws on parent company Ideal Fencing Corp's (IFC) employee-owned crews, equipment, and material inventory to keep an Idaho project moving through ITD inspection.
RoadGuard installs W-beam guiderail across Idaho to MASH and ITD standards. Along corridors including I-84, I-90, I-15, and US-95, every system is engineered for the hazard, design speed, and roadside conditions of the site.
RoadGuard installs galvanized W-beam guiderail to MASH Test Level specifications, 12-gauge corrugated rail on steel or wood posts at engineered spacing, with blockouts maintaining proper rail height and offset.
Every run is only as safe as its ends. RoadGuard installs energy-absorbing, MASH-tested end terminals and rigid transitions to bridge rail and concrete barrier, eliminating the spearing hazard of untreated rail ends.
After an impact, RoadGuard replaces damaged panels, posts, and hardware and re-tensions the run, or removes and resets guiderail cleanly when ITD alignments change.
Where a project calls for a different rail profile, RoadGuard also installs box beam, high-tension cable barrier, and impact attenuators under the same guiderail installation scope.
RailCo LLC pairs local knowledge of Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) approved products and permitting steps with the resources of parent company Ideal Fencing Corp, 100% employee-owned, with OSHA 30-Hour certified crews.
IFC carries $25 million-plus in bonding capacity, $5 million in general liability coverage, DBE certification, and ATSSA membership, the documentation ITD, general contractors, and municipal procurement teams typically require before award.
Every project starts with a free, no-obligation site visit and a fixed-cost proposal, and finishes with a one-year warranty covering materials, installation, and performance.
