W Beam Guardrail, also known as Waveform Guardrail, is a type of highway guardrail used to protect highway safety by preventing vehicles veering off the road from sliding off the road and hitting roadside buildings or other objects. Therefore, it is usually fixed on both sides of highways, dock areas, and aisles, especially on curves and slopes, to prevent vehicles from veering off the track after collision.


Safebuild W Beam Guardrail products are made to ensure its high durability and maximum strength according to the latest highway safety guardrail technology. Produced from high quality steel, they minimize the impact force generated by moving equipment. Meanwhile, the perfect combination of zinc coating or PVC coating on the W Beam Guardrail protects the product from damage caused by corrosion and rust.


The W Beam Guardrail produced by Safebuild company meets the standards of various countries, such as AASHTO M180-2012, AS3845-road-safety-barrier-system Australian standard, CTO-05765820-007-2017 guardrail standard, GBT 31439.1-2015  NBR 6971-1999 Brazilian guardrail standard, N-CMT-5-02-001-05 Mexican guardrail standard and so on.


Currently, W Beam Guardrail is the most common choice for manufacturing crash barrier systems. W Beam Guardrail is cost-effective in preventing collisions between vehicles and roadside objects, reducing the likelihood of vehicle rollovers and injuries or death.


The W Beam Guardrail is formed in accordance with the latest road safety guardrail technology, ensuring high durability and maximum strength. Highway guardrail components are made of high-quality steel (ASTM A36 Carbon Structural Steel Standard Specification, GBT700-2006 Carbon Structural Steel, A572, Q235, Q345, A36, etc.), which can effectively reduce the impact force caused by vehicles to the greatest extent.


What's more, the zinc coating or PVC coating is perfectly combined on the W Beam Guardrail, which makes the product free from the damage of corrosion and rust.

The road safety W Beam Guardrail can be easily inserted into the pre-installed plug holes through the insertion posts to provide isolation and protection. At the same time, it matches with the guardrail on the outside of the road to be neat.


When vehicles collide with it, the corrugated steel guardrail beam has good collision resistance and energy absorption, and is not easy to be destroyed, while playing a protective role for vehicles and passengers.


It is necessary to connect for road maintenance or other reasons, the guardrail post groups at the opening can be easily removed to open the channel for vehicle traffic.
