We supply a variety of highway guardrails which can be used in different applications. This company started its activity as a private limited company in 1992 according to the needs of the electricity industry of the country and now with more than three decades of experience in the field of construction of power transmission lines, provision of lighting for highways and urban roads, and construction of concrete forms.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, the beam guardrails can be curved in convex or concave shape for application of road corners which straight guardrails are unbefitting.<br \/>\nAccording to the surface finish, the highway guardrail can be classified into two types: galvanized or PVC coated highway guardrail. The zinc or PVC coating makes the products anti-rust, anti-corrosion and efficiently reduces damages from severe weather. Additionally, the high quality surface treatment also extends the service life of our product due to its anti-ultraviolet and anti-aging traits.<br \/>\nAdditionally, we also provide highway guardrail terminal ends, cable barrier end, crash cushion, guardrail post and other accessories including caps, bolts, nuts and offset blocks, etc.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5523\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5523\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5523\" src=\"https:\/\/mahyarsepahan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/guardrail-en-300x227.webp\" alt=\"w-beam guardrail\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mahyarsepahan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/guardrail-en-300x227.webp 300w, https:\/\/mahyarsepahan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/guardrail-en-768x580.webp 768w, https:\/\/mahyarsepahan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/guardrail-en.webp 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5523\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">W-Beam Guardrail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"W-Beam_Guardrail\"><\/span>W-Beam Guardrail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Effectively Makes the Highway Safer<br \/>\nW-beam guardrail is a kind of road crash barrier used for securing highway safety by preventing errant vehicles from sliding out of the roads and impacting the roadside buildings or other objects. So it is most commonly fixed on the side of the highways, dock areas, aisles, especially on curves and slopes for protection against run-off-road collisions.<br \/>\nThe W-Beam Guardrail protects assets and pedestrians from slow moving vehicles, in and around industrial and commercial complexes and car parks. These heavy-duty barrier systems can be configured to most non-highway applications and ensure pathways are segregated from potential hazards.<br \/>\nRail sections specified to be installed on curves having a radius of 5 feet (1.5 m) to 150 feet (45.7 m) can be curved in our fabrication facilities prior to delivery. Rail can be curved either convex or concave as required. Terms convex or concave refer to the direction curved, outward or inward, relative to the traffic face of the rail.<\/p>\n<p>W Beam Galvanized Guardrail<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hot dip galvanized.<\/li>\n<li>Long service life.<\/li>\n<li>Thickness and length can be customized.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc coated thickness can be customized.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Our W-beam guardrail product is formed in accordance with the latest highway safety barrier technology for making sure its high durability and maximum strength.
