Traffic Detour Plan

We’ve all faced one of these road diversions at one time or another – typically when we’re way behind schedule. The diversion, of course, is the dreaded detour. Like it or not, this is a necessary reality in the world of vehicular travel. And even though a detour appears to be a simple setup, getting one in place actually demands the utmost planning. That’s where Roadway Construction Service comes in. In this busy place called Southern California, we’re often required to develop a solid traffic detour plan as part of a general traffic control plan. Maybe there’s major construction taking place. Or a burst water pipe flooding a boulevard. Whatever the reason, there are times that traffic must be diverted. And so the planning begins.

To help with these situations, we rely on a system of road detour planning and management. Working within this system are some of the greatest strategists known to the traffic control world. What do they think about when formulating a plan? High on the list is the subject of traffic barricades. Which ones should be used and where should they go are just some of the questions to be answered. Not an easy task. Many road barricades are available, a fact that demands careful analysis of all possibilities. The selection ranges from compact cones to mid-size delineators to massive wall-like barriers known as k rail.

Traffic Barricades

Among the detour traffic barricades, k rail rental stands in a class by itself. Not only is it the largest of the road barricades, it’s also the most versatile. Also known as Jersey barrier, this wall-like structure is available in two types – plastic and concrete. As its name implies, the latter kind is made of solid concrete, a material that makes it much heavier and therefore more difficult to transport and deploy than the plastic variety. For this reason, these concrete barricades are used primarily for long-term projects.

Plastic k rail rental is an equally important component of our k rail service. These water-filled plastic traffic barricades are distinguished by their hollow inner chambers. Believe it or not, the chambers are a hidden source of strength. When needed, these cavities are filled with water, creating a solid inner core with the strength and resilience of a wall.

K Rail Rental Service

The major advantage of these barriers is their comparative lightness. Essentially, they’re hollow plastic shells divided into segments, which can be assembled into any size barricade desired. Because of their compact, lightweight design, plastic barricades can be transported, assembled, and disassembled with relative ease. As you might expect, we typically deploy plastic k rail for short term projects. No matter which barrier is deployed, however, you can count on top-notch performance when we’re providing k rail rental service.

Traffic Control Flaggers

You can expect the same from our field personnel, such as our traffic control flaggers. Trained to perfection, they can adapt to any situation and contingency imaginable. Always a good quality to have when you’re dealing with the uncertainties of a detour situation.

Traffic Control Plan

Whether deploying personnel or equipment, it’s important to get all the pieces in the right places when setting up a road detour. For Roadway Construction Service, this important process begins with a rock-solid traffic control plan. This is something we put abundant time and energy into. It’s not easy, but judging by the results, definitely well worth the effort.
