Site Considerations
While Saferoads HV2 Safety Barrier can be installed on most worksites, some obstacles must be avoided. HV2 Safety
Barrier should not be installed if there is:
Curvature tighter than 262ft (80m) radius
Cross slope steeper than 5%
Longitudinal slope steeper than 5%
Crest sharper than 5%
Ditch sharper than 5%
Kerbs or similar obstacles restricting deflection
For more information please contact Saferoads or the relevant road authority.
Barrier Deployment
Before beginning deployment, ensure there is adequate traffic management, and whenever possible personnel
should remain on the non-traffic side of the installation. Also ensure appropriate lifting equipment is used and
operated by competent personnel.
1.
Beginning at the upstream end of the installation, unload the first barrier segment and place in the correct
position. Orientation is not important as segments are bidirectional.
2.
Working downstream of the first barrier segment, unload the second barrier segment and align the
connectors while lowering the segment into position. The connection is made in the top 200mm of the
barriers. Remain cautious of potential pinch and crush points when lowering and connecting barriers.
3.
Repeat until all barrier segments are placed into the correct position and joined to adjacent barrier
segments.
4.
For installing an end terminal refer to the relevant deployment section below.
