Safebuild Highway Guardrail Routine Maintenance Guidance

Highway guardrail has a pivotal role in road traffic safety, and is an important protective measure for drivers to drive safely on the highways, so the importance of its quality is particularly prominent. Usually, we say that the quality of the product is divided into product quality and post-product maintenance. In order to ensure that the w beam guardrail products are always in a normal condition, routine maintenance is the key to ensure their long-term effectiveness and safety. Safebuild has a very perfect after-sales service system, from the pre-sale of guardrail selection, after-sales installation and maintenance of the whole process for the co-operation of customers to provide professional services to answer. 

The following are routine maintenance measures for waveform guardrail:

1.Regular dust removal: w beam guardrail installed in the outdoors, over time will fall on a layer of floating dust. This will not only affect the luster of the w beam guardrail, but also lead to corrosion, rust and cracking of the protective film of the guardrail. Therefore, the waveform guardrail should be wiped regularly, and it is recommended to use soft cotton fabrics to wipe.

2. Moisture and corrosion prevention: if the w beam guardrail is just in the normal outdoor humidity, its rust resistance can usually be guaranteed. However, in foggy weather, dry cotton cloth should be used to wipe the w beam guardrail on the water beads. If it rains, you should dry the water immediately after the rain stops. This is because most areas of our country often contain trace amounts of corrosive acid rain such as industrial pollution, which is easy to corrode the guardrail and affect its life.

3. Check and fasten spacers: You should regularly check the w beam guardrail spacers are firm, found loose or damaged parts should be replaced or fastened in time. Ensure that the highway guardrail in the impact can effectively absorb energy and play a protective role.

4. Repair damaged parts: The highway w beam barrier installed on both sides of will inevitably be subjected to friction and collision of some vehicles. Therefore, the  road guardrail beams lost the original anti-collision coefficient and protective effect, and need for regular maintenance. But sometimes we can't check whether it is damaged by visual inspection, so we can check the difference by some professional testing tools.

5. Special maintenance in winter: People living in northern winter, due to low temperatures, cannot use cold water to wipe the barrier guardrail and spacers, because it will lead to water freezing on the guardrail, thus causing corrosion. In case of snow, the snow accumulated on the corrugated guardrail should be cleaned up in time after snow.

6. Guardrail beam reflective problem is also a particularly important issue in the daily inspection, because the loss of reflective effect of the guardrail beam at night cannot give drivers the correct direction guide.

Life safety is the most important. Safebuild is committed to road safety, adhering to the company's philosophy of creating value for the community, and will take the initiative to assume and provide the responsibility of professional installation and daily maintenance guidance of road guardrail, while advocating the majority of co-operative customers to pay attention to the daily maintenance of the beam guardrail, to ensure that it is in the road traffic to play a good role in the safety and security.
