Temporary Road Restraint Systems by CHM

At CHM, we believe that ensuring the safety of the workforce and the traveling public is a shared responsibility. With that in mind, we offer a comprehensive range of temporary barrier systems tailored to meet the diverse needs of any project. Safety is not just an obligation; it’s our commitment to you!

Design and Detailing

Our team of design engineers utilizes cutting-edge software to craft temporary road restraint systems that are tailored to the specific requirements of your site. Each project is unique, and we know that one size does not fit all. Our focus on customization ensures that our solutions are not only effective but also seamless in function.

Installation

Compliance is key. Both the system suppliers and local authorities mandate that Vehicle Restraint Systems, including temporary systems, must be installed and maintained by professionals accredited to Sector Scheme 2B. At CHM, we are proud to be accredited! Our fully trained and experienced workforce is equipped to install these systems efficiently using our in-house plant and equipment. We keep a generous stock of these systems, allowing us to respond quickly to our clients’ needs.

Inspection and Maintenance

We understand that regular inspection and maintenance of temporary road restraint systems are not just requirements—they are essential for sustaining safety standards. Our trained workforce is available 365 days a year, ensuring that your systems receive the diligent attention they need.

APC Concrete Barriers

These barriers absorb the energy of errant vehicles primarily through their substantial weight, safely redirecting them. Each modular unit measures 3.5 meters long, enabling swift installation via crane-mounted lorries or rubber-tyred excavators.

Varioguard

The Varioguard system is a robust steel temporary vehicle restraint option that offers high containment levels for both operatives and road users. Varioguard effectively absorbs the energy from errant vehicles through a clever combination of self-weight, catenary action, and vehicle mass across its unique foot section. Delivered in pre-bolted 12-meter sections, this system facilitates rapid installation, minimizing downtime on your project.

Mass Vehicle Restraint System

For low-speed situations—typically where speeds are reduced to 40 mph—our MASS Vehicle Restraint System shines. The units are placed directly on the existing road surface, with anchorage only at terminal units. This feature allows for quick installation, repositioning, or removal, helping you maintain public safety with minimal disruption.

Tested according to EN1317 at performance levels T1, T2, and T3, MASS is remarkably easy to assemble due to its innovative joint system. Our adaptable, modular design allows for versatile applications, including vandal-proof, high privacy, high security, and anti-climb features.
