In cases where utilities have to be moved, or a large amount of preparation is

required for the installation of conventional barriers, ASSET International’s

VARIOGUARD® is an ideal solution. The weight of only 100 kg per linear metre

means that bridge deck loading is kept to a minimum.

Anchored at each end of a bridge deck, VARIOGUARD® can accommodate tight horizontal and vertical curves.

Manholes and access points to ducts can be bridged and accessed with site-specificdesigned and built units. VARIOGUARD® can be used in roadways, on up-stands andon kerbs.

Transitions from VARIOGUARD® to Open Box Beam, both single sided and doublesided, have been tested and are approved by the Highways Agency.

VARIOGUARD® has been installed as a permanent barrier solution at hundreds of locations including the M5 Avonmouth Bridge and the Kingston Bridge in Glasgow, as well as numerous road-over-rail locations.

ASSET International’s VARIOGUARD® SInGlE SIDED is a rigid energy absorbing

barrier system that offers protection to both the travelling public and pedestrians.

The galvanised steel 4 m long sections are delivered to site pre-assembled in 12 mlengths for ease of delivery and rapid installation.

With its narrow foot profile, VARIOGUARD® SINGLE SIDED is the ideal application forcentral reserves and verges where the requirement for set-back and clearance cannotbe obtained with other barrier systems. It is ideally suited where PVCBs are unacceptable due to the presence of services or other constraints and obstructions,such as signs and lighting columns.

VARIOGUARD® SINGLE SIDED complies with BS EN 1317 at performance level N2, with a dynamic deflection (clearance) of only 300 mm.

The required tests for this standard are :-

• TB11 900 kg vehicle

• TB32 1.5 tonne vehicle at 70 mph on a 20º impact

Often used as a permanent central reservation barrier, VARIOGUARD® SINGLE SIDED isbolted at 4 m centres to a concrete base approximately 450 mm wide by 300 mm deep,(different bolt configurations can be used for bridge decks).

VARIOGUARD® SINGLE SIDED is listed in the Highways Agency “Approved Road Restraint Systems” with a Working Width class of W2. However in the test report compiled by TRL it is stated, “Since the flanged base of the VARIOGUARD® SINGLESIDED extends 150 mm in from the traffic face, the set back distance of the barrier can be reduced by 150 mm without adversely affecting the performance of the barrier.As a consequence the Working Width can be reduced by a corresponding distance.”This gives a Working Width of only 575 mm, i.e. W1.

SOLOGUARDASSET International’s SOlOGUARD® is a safety barrier for carriageway crossover

points allowing opening and closing by two operators in just a few minutes.

SOlOGUARD® is instantly moveable, allowing the flow of traffic to be altered quickly

and safely by simply removing 4 securing pins and winding down 4 sets of

hidden wheels.

Many emergency crossing points on motorways and trunk roads have SOlOGUARD®

installed. Maintenance crossing points at tunnels and bridges around the UK are

also protected with this system.

SOLOGUARD® is part of the VARIOGUARD® range of products and can be fitted intoexisting safety fences using transition units. Maintenance Crossing Points to lengths of 150 m and Emergency Crossing Points with 24 m lengths can be accommodated.

PROTECTIOn OF CROSSOVER AnD COnTRAFlOW SITUATIOnS

SOLOGUARD® can easily be moved; so when crossovers have to be frequently openedand closed, the system can simply be raised off the road using a special jacking deviceand wheeled into its new position. When space is limited, road markings can be appliedclose to the SOLOGUARD® base. High quality reflectors fixed onto the posts providethe additional visibility needed for safe guidance at night, or in wet or foggy conditions.

CRASH CUSHIONSVECU-STOP®

The progressive concept of ASSET International’s VECU-STOP® crash cushion

system is based on more than forty years of experience in designing road

restraint systems.

The full "family" of tests, as detailed in En 1317 part 3, has been successfully

completed and approved. En 1317 approved to performance class 110 km/h.

VECU-STOP® models can accommodate many different layouts, whether parallel

or tapered in design.

All models of the VECU-STOP® crash cushion system consists of hollow cylinders ar-ranged in rows. They are highly effective energy and impact absorbing elements whichare guided by a steel wire rope system. Once installed, the system elements of the VECU-STOP® crash cushion do not require any maintenance.

Full corrosion protection is provided by a hot dipped galvanised finish. All componentsare made of steel and may be completely recycled.

The usual method of anchorage is to install a pre-fabricated steel former, then fill it with concrete. Threaded anchorages welded to the reinforcing bars enable the VECU-STOP® crash cushion to be bolted straight into place on the reinforced concrete foundation.

VECU-STOP® crash cushions are also available for use on approach ends ofVARIOGUARD® when space is limited, or when the approach flare cannot be accommodated due to site constraints.
