Concrete Barriers

Concrete barriers are used for site security, traffic management, perimeter protection, access control, hoarding support, temporary works and route separation. They are commonly used on construction sites, roadworks, depots, events, infrastructure projects and industrial yards.

TVCBs are temporary vertical concrete barriers. They are used in temporary traffic-management and road restraint applications where a more substantial concrete barrier system is required. Product-specific standards, installation requirements and contractor notes should be checked before ordering.

Concrete barriers and security blocks can help restrict vehicle access and create a substantial physical boundary, but vehicle impact performance depends on the exact product, layout, installation and any tested standards. Do not assume a product is impact-rated unless this is confirmed on the product page.

Many concrete barriers and blocks are heavy and may require suitable lifting, handling or offloading equipment. Check the product page for confirmed weight, forklift pockets, lifting points, lifting clutch requirements and delivery/offloading options.

For site security, concrete Jersey barriers and concrete security blocks are often suitable starting points. Jersey barriers are useful for longer boundary runs, while security blocks are useful for entrances, compounds, yards and restricted access points. Choose based on layout, weight, handling method and access-control requirements.

For hoarding, choose concrete hoarding ballast blocks or concrete hoarding blocks where they are compatible with the hoarding system being used.
