Median cross-over crashes are among the most severe collisions on divided highways, and a slack or damaged cable run cannot stop a vehicle from crossing into oncoming traffic.
High-tension cable barrier relies on correct tension and anchor condition to work. A single damaged post or an under-tensioned cable run reduces the system's ability to catch and redirect an errant vehicle on corridors like I-25 and I-70.
RoadGuard inspects, re-tensions, repairs, and installs high-tension cable barrier to MASH standards across Colorado's median corridors.
Ideal Fencing Corp (IFC) and its Colorado-based Adarand Constructors division deliver roadside safety work across Colorado. Adarand has installed CDOT-approved guardrail and bridge rail systems from its Colorado Springs office for more than 40 years, and IFC pairs that track record with the crews, equipment, and material inventory it takes to keep a Colorado project moving through CDOT inspection.
RoadGuard installs high-tension cable barrier across Colorado's divided highways and interstate medians to MASH standards.
High-tension systems use three or four steel cables mounted on weak posts, engineered to deflect and absorb impact energy while limiting how far an errant vehicle travels before it's brought to a stop.
Compared to rigid concrete median barrier, cable systems allow more controlled deflection on impact and are typically faster and less costly to repair after a hit, an important factor on high-traffic-volume corridors where lane closures carry their own cost.
Cable barrier needs periodic re-tensioning and prompt post-impact repair to keep performing as designed. RoadGuard provides both as part of its ongoing Colorado service coverage.
Cable barrier is one option under RoadGuard's guiderail installation scope in Colorado; for gore points and fixed hazards, see impact attenuators.
Ideal Fencing Corp and Adarand Constructors bring more than 40 years of CDOT-approved guardrail and bridge rail experience to every Colorado project, so crews already know the state's approved products list, permitting steps, and inspection standards before the first post goes in the ground.
IFC is 100% employee-owned, which means the crew on your job has a direct stake in getting it right the first time. Crews are OSHA 30-Hour certified, and IFC carries $25 million-plus in bonding capacity, $5 million in general liability coverage, DBE certification, and ATSSA membership, the documentation CDOT, 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.
