Highway Barrier Products
BBS Concrete Barrier (CB) is a CE-marked, in-situ, vehicle restraint system designed to contain vehicles, save lives and reduce congestion, with the added benefit of being virtually maintenance-free for 50 years.
The advantages of the BBS profile compared to other shapes such as the New Jersey profile is to prevent the possibility of roll-over accidents and to significantly reduce vehicle damage and occupant injury. The Highway Barrier is designed to redirect errant vehicles. It limits minor vehicle contact by the vehicle tyres and suspension systems to the base of the barrier so that a slight impact will, in most cases, allow the vehicle to continue its journey safely. This product has been instrumental in preventing crossover accidents on major motorway and dual carriageway networks.
The product is also combined with Steel Barrier (SB) which BBS also licenses the installation and manufacture of through a range of approved Licensees.
