REBLOC is a precast concrete vehicle restraint system designed to provide protection on high speed roads. There is a wide range of REBLOC products designed to suit all locations and applications ranging from normal to very high containment and low working widths. The individual elements form a high strength continuous chain that safely absorbs energy and impact forces. Technically advanced, all REBLOC safety barriers are tested to EN 1317 to ensure suitability and performance for road projects. With key safety features and benefits, as well as versatility, REBLOC is an outstanding choice for any highways related scheme. What Is REBLOC? Barriers with a minimum design life of 50 years are mandated for permanent use in England on central reserves of roads with high traffic volumes. The REBLOC concrete vehicle restraint systems (VRS) are precast products that allow for rapid deployment across the strategic road network. The off-site manufacture also eliminates wet trades on-site, reduces the risk to the workforce with shortened installation times and is immediately operational with no curing time required. Ranging from normal containment to very high containment, our full suite of both permanent and temporary concrete VRS are tested to EN 1317 and are CE marked. Our precast systems are the product of choice for main contractors as the requirement for off-site manufacture increases.
