How does an Armco barrier steel beam work?

Our Armco steel beams are made of two sheets of corrugated galvanised steel that are bent into a ‘W’ shape, with a protective rim at the top and bottom. This design allows the barrier to absorb and redistribute the energy of an impact, reducing the risk of injury or death.

The steel beam’s corrugated shape increases the Armco barrier’s strength and rigidity, allowing it to withstand more impact before deforming. If a heavy vehicle collides with the barrier, the steel beam will flatten in a controlled manner, distributing the energy of the impact along the barrier’s length.

We also supply curved Armco steel beams, a great choice for car parks as they can direct traffic as well as providing protection for both people and property.

Benefits of using Armco safety barriers

Armco barriers provide protection for pedestrians and buildings by minimising the impact of a vehicle collision. The corrugated steel beams and Armco posts are made from durable galvanised steel and require minimal upkeep.

The steel beam’s unique shape is designed to crumple on impact, absorbing the full force of the collision and reducing the risk of property damage, injury or death.

By placing Armco barriers in strategic positions, your employees, customers and buildings will be protected from collisions, accidents and ram-raid attacks. CT Safety Barriers can assist you in deciding where the safety barriers are most needed, and we can even arrange easy installation for you.
