Posts

Common to Armco barrier and OBB

Posts are available from our large stock in RSJ Z-section profile, to bolt down or to cast into concrete. The type of post and the centres they are set at should be selected to suit the level of protection required and the frequency / severity of impact that you might expect in a given situation.

Whether you choose 3.2M , 1.6M or 800mm centres for Armco Barriers or 2.4M, 1.2M or 800mm centres for OBB obviously affects the rigidity of the system and the amount of deflection of the beam under impact, likewise the post section has a similar effect.

P224 RSJ posts

Cast in or bolt down

These are the single most popular type of post that we supply and suitable for most applications. They are available in several sizes and with or without hand rail extensions and provide for a rigid system with minimum deflection under impact.

Both cast in and bolt down posts can be supplied in longer lengths and holed to suit double row barrier if required.

Z section posts

Cast in or bolt down

We manufacture two sizes of Zed profile posts and they provide a cheaper solution where impact severity and frequency is not an issue.

110 x 50 x 5mm - A low cost option for lighter applications.

125 x 90 x 5mm - A heavier duty post whilst still representing good value.
