Corrugated Guardrails: Modern Infrastructure's First Line of Defense

Recent DOT statistics reveal that corrugated guardrail systems reduce roadside collisions by 43% compared to concrete barriers. This proven safety solution combines 12-gauge galvanized steel with patented waveform designs, achieving 85,000 psi yield strength - 35% higher than standard barriers.

Engineering Excellence in Barrier Systems

Three key innovations drive performance:

• ▸ 360-degree hot-dip galvanization (610g/m² coating)
• ▸ Modular assembly tolerates ±1.5" ground shifts
• ▸ Interlocking panels withstand 55,000 lb lateral impacts

FAQS on corrugated guardrail

Q: What is a corrugated guardrail used for?

A: A corrugated guardrail is primarily used for safety and traffic control, acting as a barrier to prevent vehicles from veering off roads. Its corrugated design enhances strength and visibility, making it ideal for highways or steep areas.

Q: How do I install a corrugated metal fence gate?

A: Install a corrugated metal fence gate by securing posts into the ground with concrete, attaching hinges to the gate frame, and aligning it with the fence. Professional installation is recommended for stability and alignment.

Q: What factors affect corrugated metal fence cost?

A: Costs depend on material thickness, panel size, labor, and additional features like gates or coatings. On average, expect $15–$30 per linear foot, excluding customization or complex designs.

Q: Are corrugated guardrails durable in harsh weather?

A: Yes, corrugated guardrails are galvanized or coated to resist rust, corrosion, and extreme temperatures. They require minimal maintenance, making them suitable for long-term outdoor use.

Q: Can corrugated metal fences be customized?

A: Absolutely. Corrugated metal fences come in various colors, heights, and textures. Options like laser-cut patterns or anti-climb features can also be added for aesthetics and security.
