Crash Barriers FAQs

What is the difference between standard crash barriers and Armco crash barriers?

Armco is a recognised design of steel safety barrier, featuring a corrugated profile that disperses impact energy and provides superior strength. IMS offers Armco-style barriers for both external and internal use.

Can crash barriers be installed on existing concrete or tarmac?

Yes. Systems can be bolted directly onto concrete slabs or tarmac using heavy-duty base plates and ground anchor bolts. For soft ground, dig-in posts set in concrete provide secure foundations.

Do these barriers meet UK safety regulations?

Yes. All IMS crash barriers are built to comply with British Standards such as BS 6180, ensuring they are suitable for commercial and industrial safety applications.

Can the layout be adapted after installation?

Yes. The modular nature of our Armco crash barrier systems allows for future extensions or reconfigurations without significant structural changes.

How do I choose the right barrier height and post spacing?

The correct specification depends on vehicle type, traffic speed, and the critical structures to be protected. Our technical team can advise on optimal beam heights and post centres for each project.

What maintenance is required once installed?

Routine inspections to check for impact damage and secure fixings are recommended. Damaged beams or posts can be replaced individually, keeping maintenance costs low.
