    What Is An Armco Barrier System?

    An Armco crash barrier system consists of two component types, the untensioned corrugated Armco rail and the fixing post that holds the Armco rail in place. Armco crash barriers work by absorbing the impact of a crash – usually involving a vehicle.

    Referred to as an untensioned corrugated beam, the Armco barrier is developed in a ‘W’ shape. It’s this bending shape that allows for impact by slower-moving objects such as cars or bikes. Because the metal of the barrier is bent one way, it’s very hard to bend it the other way, and can therefore withstand more impact energy.

    The ‘W’ shaped metal rail is then held in place using a number of vertical posts and help to absorb the impact from behind the strip.

    Building Your Armco Barrier System

    The flexibility of an Armco barrier system means their applications are infinite with no two scenarios the same. Our design engineers will work with you to discuss dimensions and create a bespoke solution that perfectly fits your needs. What’s more, we will explain the key Armco barrier components you’ll likely require, as well as making you aware of some optional considerations below:

    Armco Corrugated Beam

    The mainstay of any Armco Barrier system, the corrugated rail is what does the protection by taking the impact of any object coming into contact with it. Designed to absorb and cushion the impact, the barrier 'sacrifices' itself so that the object impacting it and the object it is designed to protect remains unscathed. Our rails are available in 3mm thick 1.9m and 3.5m effective lengths.

    Terminal Ends

    Terminal ends connect to the end of an Armco crash barrier to shield the sharp edges of rails and minimise damage in the event of a collision. We produce various solutions including traditional fishtail ends as well as polymer type fishtails. If required handrail extensions can also be fitted to create a safe walkway.

    Armco Barrier Safety Features

    • Galvanised Finish
      Galvanised steel Armco barrier

      Engineered from high quality Grade S275 steel, our polymer safety barriers are galvanised in molten zinc to BS EN ISO 1461:2009. This greatly increases their life expectancy by lowering their susceptibility to damage and corrosion. Durability is critical given the harsh environments the barriers are likely to be subjected to. Our Armco barriers last longer and require less maintenance, which provides a high value and long-lasting solution.

    • Pre-Stamped Holes
      Pre-stamped holes in Armco barriers

      Our Armco components are pre-stamped with the correctly positioned holes to ensure that the barrier system can be easily constructed. Should the barriers need to be replaced, the interchangeable nature of the design means any part can easily be exchanged and remounted. This simple and easy construction process means that Armco barriers are the ideal solution. They can be quickly fitted to provide high levels of protection for vast areas.

    • Powder Coating
      Powder coated Armco Barrier

      In addition to the standard galvanised finish, we also offer steel Armco barrier and posts with a polyester powder coated finish in a range of colours. Adding a powder coated finish to the Armco Barriers can make your Armco more visible, further enhancing its effectiveness for deterring collisions. You can also request this feature in order to make your barriers more in keeping with its surroundings or your brand colours.

    We came to CT Safety Barriers with a very limited knowledge of Armco barriers. The team are very knowledgeable and spent the time to really listen to my requirements in order to work out exactly what we needed. Once we had ordered the barriers, they arrived onsite very quickly as promised. We would recommend them in a heartbeat.
