SynopsisLIBERTY Ostrava, a renowned manufacturer of steel road and bridge barriers, has introduced two groundbreaking steel barrier systems designed to enhance passive safety on roads and highways. These barriers, built with ease of assembly and interchangeability in mind, withstood rigorous testing, including impacts from a 16-tonne truck. This innovation aims to raise the bar in road safety as traffic volumes continue to rise. The barriers meet stringent certification standards and come with comprehensive technical documentation, ensuring their reliability and effectiveness.ArticleLIBERTY Ostrava, a prominent manufacturer of steel road and bridge barriers in the Czech Republic, is setting new standards in road safety with the successful testing and launch of two innovative steel barrier systems at H3 retention level. As road and highway traffic intensifies, these barriers are designed to further enhance passive safety for motorists.Both sets of barriers have been meticulously crafted to maximize the use of identical components, simplifying assembly and facilitating potential future testing with different beam profiles while retaining all other essential parts. To ensure their durability and reliability, these barriers faced a demanding test: surviving the impact of a hefty 16-tonne truck.Jan Pudich, Director of flat product rolling mills and manager at LIBERTY Ostrava, expressed pride in these pioneering barriers, emphasizing their groundbreaking safety and fitting features for customers, not only in the Czech Republic but also worldwide. These barriers are not only highly effective in enhancing safety but also designed for easy installation and replacement, benefiting both customers and road users.The newly introduced barriers have successfully passed a series of rigorous certification tests following the EN 1317 standard. They are supplied with all the necessary technical specifications, assembly instructions, and documentation required by legislation, ensuring their compliance with safety standards.LIBERTY Ostrava boasts a comprehensive lineup of 33 distinct retention systems, including five types of road safety barriers. These encompass single-sided and double-sided safety barriers, bridge and parapet barriers, and barriers with enhanced protection for motorcyclists. Over recent years, the company has continually innovated its retention systems, and it is dedicated to advancing the materials used in its barriers, including the incorporation of micro-alloyed steel.The technical specifications of the new barriers are as follows:JS3A-2/H3-1: Single-sided spacers with threaded bars, containment level H3, working width W6, and normalized dynamic deflection of 1.9 meters.OS3A-2/H3-1: Double-sided spacers with threaded bars, containment level H3, working width W5, and normalized dynamic deflection of 1.0 meter (successfully tested with a 16-tonne truck).ConclusionLIBERTY Ostrava's commitment to road safety and innovation shines through in the launch of these state-of-the-art steel road barriers. These systems not only meet rigorous certification standards but also prioritize ease of assembly and future adaptability. As traffic volumes surge, these barriers are poised to play a pivotal role in safeguarding the well-being of road users.
