The installation of wave beam guardrails is an inseparable part of traffic safety engineering, during which the quality of products provided by diverse manufacturers varies, and some even adopt recycled materials, pursuing maximum profit, caring about no other thing, including customer interests. Therefore, wave beam guardrails need to be considered in terms of raw materials, manufacturing processes, installation, after-sales service, and the reputation and strength of the manufacturer.
Raw Material: Commonly, Q235 ordinary carbon structural steel is used as the raw material for making the wave beam guardrail. Q235 steel is general carbon structural steel widely used in applications due to good comprehensive performance, high strength, good plasticity, and excellent weldability.
Manufacturing Processes: Normally, wave beam guardrails are made by galvanization, including processes of cold-dip or hot-dip, painting, or dipping. Much depends on the method that one would choose depending on his customer’s needs, and this has a significant influence on the lifespan of a guardrail.
High-Speed Guardrails: Two wave beam guardrail panels with two posts to hold them together form high-speed guardrails. The wave beam guardrails in the continuous structure effectively isolate and protect along the median strip of highways. Moreover, it also forms a visually seamless feeling with the outer guardrail panels.
High-Quality Guardrails: High-quality wave beam guardrails are fabricated from premium Q235 carbon steel sheets, with surface treatments such as dipping and painting, which enhance its resistance to corrosion and durability. These guardrails are known for their strong impact resistance, low cost, high safety standards, and eco-friendliness.
Understanding the raw material, manufacturing process, and overall quality will help in ensuring a safe and long-lasting solution for your highway infrastructure.
