Over time, all roads, even laid onmodern technologies, are becoming unusable. On their surface appear potholes, getting into that, cars can stay even without wheels, not to mention the fact that pits can be the cause of road accidents, including serious ones. Various deformations on the asphalt surface appear constantly, therefore road services are compelled to be engaged in their elimination very often.
To protect workers during therepair works and to warn drivers who could not notice corresponding signs, it is necessary to establish different protective elements. One of them is the water-filling barrier. This is the so-called mobile design, which is indispensable for the urgent fencing of a certain territory for a short period or arranging the dividing strip for a long time.
Block properties
The main purpose of water-barriers -creation of simple, universal, inexpensive, but very effective road fences. For the manufacture of such products, plastic (polyethylene) is used. The technology used is rotational molding. The design of the products is hollow, but that the elements stand steadily and are not shifted by inattentive drivers or by strong winds, they are filled with water.
If repairs are carried out in winter, earlyIn the spring when there are low temperatures on the street, plastic water filling barrier is filled with any loose substances - sand, small gravel, rubber crumb and other types of similar materials, capable of acting as a shock absorber during a collision, but at the same time causing minimal damage to the vehicle.
There is it as follows:the structure is placed on the designated place of the fence, and only then it is filled with an available substance or water through a special hole. If you do the opposite, first fill the structure and only then proceed to move it, it is unlikely that this will work. First you need to get rid of the filler. You do not have to raise or tilt the water supply barrier: there are special holes at the bottom of the products through which water will drain or dry filler will pour out.
Positive characteristics
The following properties can be considered to be advantageous for water-supply units:
- Convenient transportation and installation.
- Easy operation.
- Resistant to ultraviolet - despite the fact that the products are constantly under the sun, they retain their bright light, so that remain noticeable.
- Resistance to high (+60 ° C) and low (-30 ° C) temperatures.
- The presence of a rigid connection, which allows you to install the blocks not only one by one, but also into a solid line, the individual elements of which are firmly connected, forming an integral structure.
- The addition of retro-reflective inserts from special materials helps to see even farther from a distance even at night.
- Due to the low weight, storage and storage is not a problem.
Types of blocks
Plastic water-filled road barriers come in several forms. They differ, first of all, according to the overall indicators:
- The block is 150 x 80 x 48 cm.Color - red, white, orange. It is equipped with a dovetail joint, which perfectly resists tearing the column. Recommended for use during sporting events (go-karting, rallying), when repairing motorways.
- Блок 120 х 80 х 48 см. Цвет – красный, белый.Products can be used both separately and to create a barrier column. Can be used for repair of road surface or communications in any locality.
- Block 1.0 x 0.80 x 0.48 m with a connector.The peculiarity of the constructions is warehouse logistics. Products can be worn one on the other. The presence of a connecting beam allows the use of closed circuits. Thanks to this, the scope of the blocks is expanding, and the cost of the barriers being created is reduced. It is possible to use the water-filling barrier, which can be used not only as a barrier during repair work, but also serve as a curb.
Features of water supply units
The road water barrier has some peculiarities. These are:
- The ability to apply not only filled, but also empty products.
- The elements united in a single canvas are not rigid construction, therefore each of them can be rotated by 13-15 degrees.
- A separate unit can be used as a warning sign for drivers.
Application
The water-filling barrier can be used to create various structures:
- Temporary fences during repair work.
- Transport Stream Separators.
- Barriers that prevent entry to the territory where various mass events are held.
- Parking, parking.
- Pedestrian zone near shops, cafes and other public places.
- Pointers in driving schools and other purposes.
