What is Armco guardrail?
ARMCO® Guardrail is a flexible vehicular safety barrier system that can be installed on curves and has high impact resistance that is designed to flex and deflect the errant vehicle back onto its original path.
How does Armco barrier work?
The barriers are made from steel which although feels very rigid and strong to us, it is flexible through its corrugated profile. The internal structure of steel gives it flexible properties that allow it to bend under impact so that the energy of the collision is absorbed and diverted from the vehicle.
