An overview of the BBS Concrete Barrier (CB) safety restraint system giving comprehensive information on the different CB profiles available, the benefits of choosing a BBS CB solution, CE marking, our licensed installers and environmental policy.

The official ruling from the European Commission on CE marking in-situ concrete barriers under EN1317.

Explains why building BBS CB for use on motorways and dual carriageways is a sustainable form of construction, benefiting the road user by increasing safety, the maintenance workers by decreasing their accident risk and the environment by reducing congestion and hence CO₂ emissions.

A very useful illustrated and detailed list of questions concerning the concrete barrier, ranging from bifurcation and bridges through lighting and location to verge and working width. The answers, which are given in full, will help both contractor and decision maker.

Examines the effect of concrete safety barriers constructed in the central reserve of dual carriageways and motorways on the noise levels alongside the road. The result demonstrated that differences in noise levels alongside both concrete and steel safety barriers are negligible at a range of receiver heights.

This publication gives diagrams showing the construction of concrete steel barrier compared with the steel barrier and issues such as new and existing drainage, kerbs and gulleys, bifurcation, lighting columns and the wide barrier are covered.

A comparative costing analysis of concrete step barrier (CB) and other steel vehicle restraint systems for central reserve application. Stage 1 concentrates on the basic cost of barrier system, to provide a given level of performance.

This report is for Stage 2 of the study and considers the influence of different central reserve layouts, and central reserves where lighting columns are installed.

Stage 3 report presents costs associated with the following special features which may be included in a steel or concrete barrier installation such as transitions, connections to structures, terminals, bifurcation, drainage details, expansion joints, emergency crossing points and night working.
