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.
Cable barrier relies on correct tension and anchor condition to work. A single damaged post or an under-tensioned run reduces the system's ability to catch and redirect an errant vehicle on corridors like I-15, I-80, I-70, and US-89.
RoadGuard inspects, re-tensions, repairs, and installs cable barrier to MASH standards across Utah's median corridors.
Ideal Fencing Corp (IFC) delivers roadside safety work directly across Utah. IFC is 100% employee-owned, with the crews, equipment, and material inventory it takes to keep a Utah project moving through UDOT inspection.
RoadGuard installs cable barrier across Utah's divided highways and interstate medians to MASH standards.
Cable barrier uses 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.
Cable barrier needs periodic re-tensioning and prompt post-impact repair to keep performing as designed.
Cable barrier is one option under RoadGuard's highway barriers scope in Utah, alongside concrete barriers and temporary barriers.
Ideal Fencing Corp brings direct knowledge of Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) approved products and permitting steps to every Utah project. IFC is 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 UDOT, 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.
