The Solution: Varioguard Temporary Steel Barrier

Varioguard is fully tested to EN 1317 at N2 W3, N2 W4, N2 W5, N2 W6 and H1 W6, giving a choice of working widths to suit the space available beside live traffic.

It can be installed using the Asset Drilling Rig, which gives zero hand-arm vibration for operatives and allows up to 3,000m to be drilled and fixed per shift.
