Challenge

Completing Edmonton’s Anthony Henday Ring Road was a significant feat, but with daily traffic surging to 80,000 cars, a seamless solution for road safety and expansion was crucial.

Solution

Our industry expertise and quick-mobilization capabilities allowed us to install over 14km of moveable steel barriers, Zoneguard® and Vulcan® in record time. We efficiently managed traffic, mitigating driver frustrations while enhancing safety.

Result

Our unique speed and efficiency propelled construction progress and earned us a valued partnership in this significant project.

Project Stats:

• Over 14 KM of Zoneguard^® barrier utilized
• Zoneguard^® Steel Barriers can be delivered with up to 750 linear feet on a truck, compared to 90-120 linear feet of concrete barrier.
• Zoneguard^® Steel Barriers weigh less than concrete barriers, allowing for easier use, less staff and equipment. This translates to a 20% speed increase with installations. Speed is only one factor, less equipment and staff are required for proper install of Zoneguard^®. This not only saves money, it increases safety both with drivers on the road and installation staff and equipment.
• Measurably less wear and tear on road surfaces with lower weight and easier installation.
• 55 KM total movement of  Zoneguard^® barrier throughout project, managed by Barricades and Signs.
• 88 install, removal or relocation of Traffix SLEDs.
• Replaced hit Traffix SLED units six times, some within an hour. This reduces the opportunity for more devastating accidents, and showcases our suggestion of Traffix SLED as an end treatment.
• 400 linear feet of Zoneguard^® barrier installed in 13 minutes, or almost one Zoneguard^® barrier per minute!
