TVCB (Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers) from Zaun are available in two levels of containment:
Both of Zaun’s TVCB‘s are designed to deflect an errant vehicle away from local hazards within or immediately adjacent to the highway, which have the potential to cause danger to, the occupants of an errant vehicle, the workforce, or others. Each TVCB is connected together at the scarf joint using M24 high tensile bolts.
Each TVCB is manufactured from high strength concrete (50N / sqmm) which, combined with approved steel reinforcing enables the TVCB barriers meet the requirements of EN 1317 (Compliant Road Restraint Systems for Temporary Safety Barriers).
Zaun’s Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers (TVCB) are a perfect way prevent unauthorised access or to provide a safe temporary working area for your workforce, this could be along a roadside or construction site.
TVCBs can also be used for major temporary events, from political summits to major sporting events such as the Olympics, Football World Cup or Commonwealth Games to protect pedestrians from traffic or to provide traffic barriers and bases for fixing fences to. (see MultiFence & MultiFence PAS 68 for more details).
TVCB is a temporary vehicle concrete barrier, specifically designed for highways use. These can be use in both central reservations and verge operations to protect the workforce from on-coming traffic flow. Each TVCB is supplied with an arrow on the side of the unit to direct traffic and is fitted with lifting points for M24 lifting eyes.
Intermediate barriers are symmetrical in cross-section and can be used for either verge or central reserve applications, by turning them upside down. Barriers should be aligned according to the direction of the traffic flow, using the directional arrow cast into the face, for orientation. Units are connected together at the scarf joint, using M24 diameter high tensile bolts. Each TVCB can also be fixed to the carriageway if required, by use of anchor plates bolted to the underside of the barriers.
