Engineered for heavy-use traffic management zones, this heavy-duty utility barrier system offers a high-strength solution for roadside safety. Designed to last up to 8x longer than uPVC alternatives, it’s ideal for road barriers and utility access control across UK work zones.
The structure includes HDPE planks, stackable feet (standard or anti-trip), and high-profile posts that accept mounted lamps. This road barrier system is modular and wind-resistant up to 61.6mph (Class C) when paired with 20kg ballast blocks. The system offers versatile configuration options—straight runs, corners, or box formations.
- Perfect for high-traffic roadworks and pedestrian protection zones.
- BSEN8442 and BSEN12899-1 certified for traffic safety compliance.
- Includes anti-trip base options for urban and confined site applications.
- Modular components enable custom layouts for varying jobsite conditions.
- Can accommodate temporary lights for enhanced visibility.
This heavy-duty road construction barrier is built for resilience and configurability. Designed for daily deployment around utility, maintenance, and streetworks environments, the barrier system includes reinforced HDPE planks, upright posts, and durable anti-trip or standard bases. Unlike traditional systems, this unit withstands Class A–C wind speeds and supports lighting for 24/7 worksites.
Each kit includes eight planks, four upright posts, and four weighted bases, forming a robust safety enclosure. Planks are made from virgin HDPE, giving them an 8x longer service life than common alternatives, while reducing replacement cycles and waste. The anti-trip base variant reduces footfall hazards on pedestrian routes or tight walkways.
Feet and planks are stackable, improving logistics and enabling fortification for long-term use. Modular posts include a dual prong system, allowing rapid install with no specialist tools. Temporary warning lights can be affixed to each post for enhanced visibility and worker safety in dim environments.
Whether you're establishing clear traffic management barriers, pedestrian channels, or protecting open excavations, this plank barrier system adapts to site constraints while remaining strong, visible and certified. The system's upright form and modularity also allow multiple sections to interlink into larger, compound structures, improving hazard control across more complex jobs.

This modular barrier system is crafted for challenging UK traffic management and road construction environments. With a profile height of 1170mm, it offers high visibility while allowing for worksite flexibility. The system provides protection against wind, debris, and unauthorised access to open works, while remaining easy to configure and store.
Component Breakdown:
Planks: Virgin HDPE with extended durability and dual prong connectors. Available in widths of 1.25m or 2.0m to meet variable project demands.
Posts: High-profile vertical supports for structure and lighting attachment. Made from impact-resistant material with integrated lamp ports.
Bases (Feet): Available in standard square or anti-trip triangular formats. Stackable for added ballast, improving wind resistance and safety in high-footfall zones.
Certified Resistance: When used with 20kg ballast blocks, the barrier meets wind load resistance up to 61.6mph (Class A–C). This ensures secure deployment in open or high-speed road environments.
Use Cases:
- Roadside utility and telecoms works
- Street maintenance, gully cleaning or excavation safety
- Temporary lane closures or barrier systems for road repairs
- Urban traffic management near schools, high streets or footpaths
All components are made from 100% recycled or recyclable materials. Lightweight when unassembled, yet robust under field use, the full system is stackable and space-efficient, suitable for storage in compact depots or transport fleets.
With anti-trip and light-mounting capabilities, the system suits sites with mixed access—ensuring minimal hazard while remaining fully adaptable. Whether in tight city infrastructure or rural highways, this barrier supports safe, efficient, and regulation-compliant working environments.
