6 things to know about W Beam Crash Barriers by Utkarsh India
W Beam crash barriers play a key role in protecting lives. In a collision, W-beam barriers can prevent vehicles from rolling over or crossing into oncoming lanes, which often leads to more severe accidents. By absorbing and redirecting the energy of a crash, they minimise the force transferred to the vehicle and its occupants - this reduces the risk of injuries. Their design helps to redirect errant vehicles back onto the roadway - they prevent errant vehicles from veering off into dangerous areas such as ditches or embankments. To ensure safety, it is important to buy W beam crash barriers from reliable manufacturers. We are one of the leading W beam crash barrier manufacturers in India. Our products meet global standards. Here are 6 things to know about our W Beam crash barriers
1. High-quality raw materials ensure durability
We source raw materials from reputable companies such as SAIL, TATA, and Hindustan Zinc. Each barrier consists of strong steel components. The materials conform to IS 5986, IS 2062, IS 10748, or equivalent standards. Different grades, such as Fe360, Fe410, and Fe510, provide strength. This ensures durability and performance in extreme conditions.
2. Multiple configurations for different needs
Utkarsh India offers four types of W Beam crash barriers:
- Single side single barrier: A single rail on one side of the post
- Double side single barrier: Rails on both sides of the post
- Single side double barrier: Two rails on one side of the post
- Double side double barrier: Two rails on both sides of the post
These configurations allow flexibility for various road conditions.
3. Compliance with Indian and international standards
We follow strict quality standards. Our W Beam crash barriers comply with Indian, American, and European regulations. They meet specifications set by:
- Indian Roads Congress (IRC)
- Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH)
- European Standard EN-1317-2
4. Wide range of applications
Our W Beam crash barriers serve multiple purposes. They provide safety on:
- Highways and expressways: Preventing vehicles from leaving the roadway
- Bridges and flyovers: Offering protection on elevated roads
- Urban and rural roads: Reducing the impact of accidents
These barriers protect pedestrians, drivers, and infrastructure.
5. Large-scale production capacity
We manufacture up to 48,000 metric tonnes of crash barriers every year - this makes us one of the leading producers in the industry. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities use advanced technology to ensure precision, consistency, and efficiency in every barrier we produce. Our high-quality crash barriers undergo strict quality control checks at every stage of production to meet international safety standards.
6. Rigorous testing
Our W-Beam crash barriers go through rigorous crash tests to ensure safety and reliability. These tests measure key factors such as deflection, structural integrity, and the barrier’s ability to redirect or contain vehicles upon impact. Proper deflection helps absorb crash energy, thereby reducing the risk of severe damage or injury. Structural integrity ensures the barrier remains effective even under high-impact collisions. Crash testing also ensures that W-Beam barriers can effectively protect both vehicles and passengers. By absorbing and redirecting impact energy, they minimise injuries and prevent vehicles from entering hazardous areas.
We can customise crash barriers based on specific project requirements. We can adjust dimensions, materials, coatings, and structural features to match different road conditions, safety standards, and client preferences. Whether for highways, bridges, or urban roads, we ensure that each barrier meets the necessary safety and durability standards.
