Galvanized & Wooden Guardrails
Guardrails play a major role in saving the lives of people involved in many of those accidents.
Galvanized guardrails are constructed from high-strength 12-gauge (Class A) and 10-gauge (Class B) galvanized steel for effective impact absorption. The most common highway guardrail is the galvanized W-Beam, which are longitudinal highway barriers designed to reduce the severity of run-off-road (ROR) collisions.
Roll-formed into the shape of a “W” to typical catch car bumpers, W-beam guardrails have proven an effective and economical solution to roadside safety. Every component of W-beam guardrails, from the mounting hard to the wooden blockouts, has been subjected to numerous full-scale crash tests to determine the optimal construction method for reducing injuries.
