Description
The Vik Veg H2 a steel road restraint system that is designed to enhance safety on the roads.
The system has successfully been tested according to class H2 described in EN 1317-2.
The system is based on sigma steel posts with post distance of 1 meter and a longitudinal 3mm high
strength steel guard rail A-profile with W-shaped backside beam.
In a collision the system is designed in such a way that the A-profile (incl. backside beam) will break away
from the post and stop the vehicle or/and lead it back on the road again.
The bolts are an important part of the systems function and this manual should be read carefully before
installation is started.

4. Installing
4.1 Soil and placement
The soil where the barrier is placed should be of sufficient quality to ensure the guardrails function.
The posts should bend and not break up true the soil or be pulled up when the barrier is hit.
4.2 Installing the posts
The posts should be installed with a distance of 1 meter.
The holes for the posts should normally be pre-drilled or pre-rammed before installing the post. They
should be drilled to the correct level or deeper, to ensure that there is no need to ram the posts after they
are placed.
After alignment and height adjustment, parts of the hole around the post should be filled with gravel to
lock the post in the correct position.
