Design Considerations
It is important that HighwayGuard™ is planned/designed and installed in accordance with this
manual and any approval/regulatory conditions placed upon its acceptance use in that territory.
Delineation
Reflective delineators may be required for both permanent and temporary applications. The
specification (size, shape, colour, position) can vary in accordance to meet local
regulations/requirements.
Drainage
HighwayGuard™ has
a 10mm drainage gap underneath the barrier. Additional drainage provision
is provided at anchor points. The water drainage per 12m section is approximately 1.15sqm.
Pavement Types
HighwayGuard™ has been tested installed on asphalt pavement that is 150mm asphalt concrete
over a granular subbase.
Alternative ground conditions may be acceptable but could require different anchor solutions.
Install Lengths
The permissible length of the system is unlimited, but the barrier must be anchored at the end of
each run and intermediately as required by the system type.
The recommended minimum length of barrier is 60m to replicate test set up. Installing with tested
anchor spacing is recommended to replicate test deflections and working widths.
