Curves and radii

Radii over 50m

Curved sections of barrier over 50m radius need no special order Beams, as they can be achieved using standard 3.2m effective length beams. The closer that you get to 50m radius, then the beams require some manual force to close the gap between the beam and the post set to the radius.

Radii 50m - 25m

Curved sections less than 50m radius and greater than 25m can be addressed by use of either standard 1.6m effective length half beams or by use of special order curved beams, rolled to suit your radius.

Radii 25m - 6m

Curved sections less than 25m radius will require the use of special order curved beams, rolled to suit your radius. Lead time on these beams is normally around 2 weeks.

Radii less than 6m

It is possible for us to obtain beams rolled to less than 6m radius, by special order, but with considerably longer lead times. An alternative solution is the use of a fabricated mitred radius as shown below. This can be delivered quicker and is a cheaper solution than the rolled beams for tight radii.
