"Positive protection" is a safety measure that should be taken at every job site and the Water-Cable Barrier is the ideal choice.

With 3 molded in galvanized steel cables that strengthen the #barrier, this system works together to capture a vehicle and prevent them from entering the workzone. It ensures that you have the best job site safety possible and provides a peace of mind.

One of the differences between the Water Wall and Water-Cable Barrier, and arguably the most important, is "positive protection"

Water-Cable Barrier is meant for positive protection. It is designed with 3 molded in galvanized steel cables that strengthen the barrier to resist vehicle penetration during an impact. The Water-Cable Barrier ensures that you have the best jobsite safety and security for your projects

Ever wonder why channelizer drums are used out on the roads?

1. When all lined up together, they all act as one big deterrent that helps guide and channelize traffic within work zones.
2. Being large, they act as a physical deterrent
3. They have a large surface area for sheeting, which is especially helpful at night as it gives you a more reflective object to see

We recently had the pleasure of tagging along with Maneri Traffic Control as they installed a few more Deltas. Set it on a center line, connected it directly to thrie-beam barrier, drilled 39 anchors, and put the nose piece on - it's that simple. A quick and easy installation reduces exposure to traffic, making it the unmatched solution for crash cushions.

This year's American Traffic Safety Services Association (#ATSSA) #TraffixExpo2025 in Orlando, Florida is almost here and we could not be more thrilled! We're excited to be exhibiting again, ready to showcase our extensive range of #TrafficControl and #HighwaySafety products. Swing by Booths 1631, 1731, and 1831 to meet the team and check out our life-saving products. See you there!
