Box Beams and Road Safety
The hollow shape of box beams distributes impact loads evenly. These beams flatten out laterally during a collision, absorbing a vehicle's kinetic energy and reducing the impact force. These barriers also help to redirect vehicles back to the path, minimizing the risk of a collision with a rigid, unforgiving object beyond the guardrail. Additionally, box beam guardrails can help vehicles stay upright upon side impact.
Box beam barriers are easy and cost-effective to repair, ensuring that roads maintain adequate safety systems after a collision.
