APPLICATIONS
– Height difference between carriageways
– Superelevation across carriageways
The BBS CB-V is a double-sided step barrier suitable for use when the difference in level between carriageways is less than 300 mm. The variable profile can accommodate changing carriageway levels.
There are two basic designs:
- Concrete Barrier Variable (CB-V) – width at top 200mm, base width minimum is 542mm and maximum is 585mm.
- Concrete Barrier Variable Wide (CB-VW) – width at top 600mm, base width minimum is 942mm and maximum is 985mm.
For a temporary difference in level between carriageways of less than 100mm, the standard profile BBS CB with a deeper base can be constructed. Where the level difference is permanent, BBS’s CB-V allows construction of a single barrier to accommodate the height difference.
