BETONBLOCK® BARRIER MOULDS: SAFETY FIRST!

 
Need a good way to manage traffic? Concrete road barriers are more commonly known as Jersey barriers, which are used to separate lanes all over the world. Over the years, the design of these important barriers has evolved. When it was found that cars colliding with a Jersey barrier at high speeds would tend to flip over because of the slanted base, the design was updated to create today’s safer barrier. The great advantage of concrete barriers is that they are ideal for temporary works, as their cast-in anchors or forklift notches make them easy to pick up and transport to the next project.
 

Modular mould for concrete barricades

The Betonblock® barrier mould is a modular mould for cast concrete barricades and barriers that are used to separate lanes. The concrete barriers fit together perfectly and feature specially designed guides to safely channel traffic. Barriers are also used for roadblocks and diversions, as well as to protect pedestrians and road workers during the construction of (new) roads or roadworks. The barrier moulds from Betonblock® are a quick and easy way to produce concrete barriers. Important! The concrete barriers are only suitable for roads in built-up areas or with a speed limit of 50 km/h.
 

What types of barrier moulds do you sell?

Betonblock® has several types of barrier moulds, but the most popular one is 2 metres long and 90 cm tall. Since smaller barriers provide more flexibility in bends, Betonblock® also has barriers with a partition, which makes it possible to cast two 1 m barriers at the same time. The partition is also sold separately. To create linkable barriers, simply insert cast-in connectors into the mould prior to casting.
 

What barrier mould accessories do you have?

The cast-in connectors are sold separately by Betonblock®, along with a special filling aid with sloping walls for easy casting. Moulds come with forklift notch inserts to make it easier to move and transport the concrete barriers, but you can also choose to use cast-in anchors. Click here for instructions on inserting a cast-in anchor into a concrete block mould, which works the same as a barrier mould.
 

What are the advantages of Betonblock® barrier moulds?

Betonblock® moulds are made of high-quality steel. The moulds are built to last and will continue to deliver for at least 10 years. The Betonblock® moulds feature a unique closure that ensures that the moulds are easy to use and do not warp, The result: perfectly aligned, identical barriers.
 
 

In addition to barrier moulds, Betonblock® also carries the following moulds:

 
●       Concrete block moulds
●       Concrete slab moulds
●       Retaining wall moulds
●       Tetrapod moulds
 

Produce safety solutions with moulds

Apart from barriers used to manage traffic and keep people safe, Betonblock® also carriers special tetrapod moulds. Concrete tetrapods are used as breakwaters all over the world. Retaining walls are also widely used as flood defences, while concrete blocks are used for a wide variety of safety and security solutions, such as collision protection and site fencing.
 

Frequently Asked Questions About Barrier Moulds and Concrete Barriers

With BETONBLOCK® barrier moulds, you can produce concrete barriers for safely separating and closing off traffic flows and work areas. The well-known Jersey barrier has a distinctive profile and can be used for applications such as separating carriageways, roadblocks, diversions, and protecting road workers and pedestrians. The standard BETONBLOCK® barrier mould measures 200x54x90 cm. A partition wall can also be used to cast two barriers of approximately one metre in the same mould. Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions about barrier moulds, their applications, and accessories.


What is the difference between a barrier and ordinary concrete blocks or retaining walls?

A concrete barrier is specifically designed to guide and separate traffic and to close off work areas. The distinctive profile of a Jersey barrier helps guide traffic along the separation. Ordinary concrete blocks, on the other hand, are used for a wide range of structures, such as walls, storage bays, and site boundaries. Retaining walls are L-shaped and are mainly used to retain soil, bridge changes in ground level, create storage facilities, and provide water barriers. The most suitable concrete solution therefore depends on the purpose and conditions of the project.


Which barrier size should I choose?

The standard BETONBLOCK® barrier mould measures 200x54x90 cm and produces a barrier that is two metres long. Where shorter elements offer greater flexibility, for example around bends or for smaller barriers, a partition wall can be used. This allows two barriers of approximately one metre to be cast in the same mould. When choosing the right version, you should consider the required length of the barrier line, the available space, the route layout, and how the barriers will be positioned and moved.


What applications are concrete barriers suitable for?

Concrete barriers are used for applications such as separating traffic lanes, roadblocks, diversions, and cordoning off work areas. They can also be used to shield pedestrians and road workers from passing traffic and to clearly separate temporary zones or sites. BETONBLOCK® states that barriers produced with these moulds are suitable for roads within built-up areas or situations with a maximum speed limit of 50 km/h. For every traffic management or security application, local regulations and project requirements must also be checked.


Can BETONBLOCK® barriers be connected and extended to create longer barrier lines?

Yes, it is possible to produce connectable concrete barriers. Special steel connecting profiles can be placed in the barrier mould before casting. These profiles become embedded in the concrete during casting, allowing the finished barriers to be connected to one another. This makes it possible to combine several individual elements into a longer, continuous barrier line. The system is therefore suitable for projects where the required length may vary.


What are the advantages of concrete barriers compared with metal guardrails or temporary fencing?

Concrete barriers provide a heavy-duty, robust physical separation and can also be used to guide traffic. Unlike temporary fencing, they create a solid division between traffic, pedestrians, and work areas, for example. Another practical advantage is that the barriers can be reused: cast-in lifting anchors or forklift recesses allow them to be moved and transported to another project. However, concrete barriers, metal guardrails, and temporary fencing each serve different purposes and have different safety classifications. The right solution must therefore always be selected based on the application, traffic situation, and applicable safety regulations.


What accessories are available for barrier moulds?

BETONBLOCK® offers a range of accessories for producing, connecting, and handling concrete barriers. A connecting profile set allows you to produce connectable barriers, while a special filling aid makes filling the barrier mould easier. Other available items include a poker vibrator for compacting concrete, release oil and an oil pump, a casting table, a finishing beam, and a pressure washer. Forklift recess profiles can be used to move the barriers. Cast-in lifting anchors and compatible lifting equipment, such as anchor magnets, rubber sleeves, and universal lifting hooks, are also available. The accessories you need depend on your production process and on how the barriers will be moved and positioned after casting.
