Water Barrier

Water Barrier

A water barrier, also known as a water-filled barrier or water-filled barricade, is a traffic control device used to provide temporary or permanent separation and protection on roads and construction sites. These barriers are typically made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are designed to be filled with water to increase their stability and effectiveness. Water barriers come in various shapes and sizes, including cylindrical, rectangular, or modular designs, to suit different traffic management needs. They are usually bright in color, such as orange or yellow, and may feature reflective strips for enhanced visibility. Water barriers are commonly used to redirect traffic, create work zones, delineate lanes, or provide protection for workers and pedestrians. The water inside the barriers adds weight and stability, making them resistant to impact from vehicles and wind. Moreover, the ability to fill and drain the barriers makes them easily transportable and reusable. Water barriers are an efficient and versatile solution for temporary traffic control, offering a balance between functionality, safety, and ease of use.
