The Project: Central Reservation Works on the M5 Near Worcester
Varioguard was installed ahead of central reservation works on the M5 near Worcester, protecting road workers and passing traffic throughout the scheme.

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 wide choice of working widths to suit the space available in the central reserve.
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.

Part of the UK’s Largest Temporary Barrier Rental Pool
Varioguard connects to an unmatched choice of containment levels, including REBLOC and Zoneguard, and forms part of the UK’s largest temporary barrier rental pool.
Our UK-based rental pool is available for scheduled works and emergency requirements, with fenced and gated options, so we can provide a complete end-to-end solution for each temporary works scheme.
