At Roadway Construction Service, we’re proven masters in the art of road traffic control equipment management. Many factors contribute to this distinction. One of these is our illustrious planning team. Every member of this group understands the intricacies of equipment rental for traffic control. They know this service isn’t just about hauling hardware to and from project sites. It’s about getting everything right well in advance. And that takes through preparation and evaluation. Fortunately, our planners excel in these areas. As a result, they are a formidable force when it comes to devising strategies for the effective deployment of temporary traffic control equipment.
Temporary Road Barricades
When providing traffic control equipment service, one of our primary considerations is the temporary road barricades needed for a job. The selection of possibilities is mind-boggling, each of the many choices having a specific duty to perform. Maybe a compact solution is needed for the simple task of marking a roadway boundary. In that case, reflective traffic cones are utilized.
Don’t be deceived by the compact dimensions of a traffic cone. What it lacks in size is more than compensated for by its high visibility. Generally, these barriers are a bright yellow or orange, colors that make them extremely noticeable to passing motorists. Along with noticeability, cones offer the welcome convenience of ultimate portability. They can be transported, set up, and removed with minimal hassle and effort. This considerably cuts down on setup times. Because of this advantage, cones typically are deployed to assist with short term or temporary projects.
Naturally, Roadway Construction Service also offers a lineup of larger options through its acclaimed program of traffic control equipment rental. Among these options are Type I, Type II, and Type III barricades. As with cones, they all are very noticeable. Each one is equipped with a reflective panel or panels to enhance its visibility.
Type I features a single panel, while Type II doubles the visibility with two. Additionally, the Type II stands higher and wider than its counterpart, a characteristic that makes it the more visible of the pair.
Distinct from the other two, Type III maximizes visibility with a grand total of three reflective panels. It also benefits from sturdier construction, a factor that contributes to greater stability and wind-resistance.
Road Closure Management Services
No matter which of these barricades you rent from us, any one of them provides first rate protection in a variety of situations. Type I typically is deployed to separate pedestrians from restricted areas, while Types II and III generally are utilized for road closures and detours.
The largest of the group, Type III, has the greatest versatility, as it serves well for both long term and short-term projects. Choosing from among these three options requires a thorough evaluation of the work site, a task well suited to the talents and skills of our planning team.
Sometimes a traffic control project requires us to get back to basics. And you don’t get any more basic than water-filled or sand-filled barriers. Essentially, these are lightweight but durable plastic bags that can be filled with our choice of reinforcement – water or sand. Because these barriers are comparatively easy to carry, they are deployed in a wide range of situations. Typically, you’ll find them helping with traffic control on roads and highways or crowd control at public events.
Often, however, the situation calls for a much bigger and stronger solution – a solution designed to keep vehicles out of restricted areas. Only a wall-like barrier will suffice. In the realm of traffic control equipment rental, that barrier is known as k-rail – a.k.a. Jersey barrier.
K-Rail Rental and Management
Our system of k rail rental has been developed with one aim in mind – to maximize safety. To that end, we’ve succeeded admirably. Credit our unwavering commitment to excellence, a trait that ensures smooth and efficient deployment of all Jersey barrier solutions.
When deploying k rail, we must choose between two types, each of which consists of interconnecting modular segments. For long term assignments, Roadway Construction Service utilizes concrete k rail (or Jersey Barrier). As the name suggests, these are made of solid concrete reinforced by steel. Because of this construction, they offer the advantage of maximum strength. They are, however, the heaviest barrier in our lineup. Consequently, the concrete type is used almost exclusively for long-term duty.
Plastic K Rail Rental
For short term projects, Roadway Construction Service invariably goes with plastic k rail. Unlike its concrete counterpart, the plastic variety is reinforced by a water filled chamber. (The water, by the way, is added after we move the modular plastic segments into place. Much easier that way.) The liquid reinforcement essentially turns the outer plastic shell into a solid wall.
Concrete K Rail Rental
Along with strength, plastic and concrete k rail share one other important characteristic – maximum safety. This critical factor always is a number one priority when we set up either type.
Bear in mind, this operation isn’t a simple matter of planting a wall and hoping for the best. Nope. Jersey barrier rental begins with our full assessment of the situation at hand. This unfolds during the process of Jersey barrier planning.
Traffic Control Planning
One of the top matters facing our traffic control planning is project duration. For comparatively short-term traffic management projects, there’s a ready solution in the form of water-filled k-rail. This barrier is made of a rugged plastic shell divided into lightweight segments. Each segment has a hollow inner chamber, which is filled with water to provide sturdiness and solidity. The advantage here is obvious – the lightweight plastic segments are easily transported, assembled, and disassembled, making this barrier the ideal solution for relatively brief assignments.
The opposite is true for concrete k-rail, another mainstay solution in our acclaimed k rail rental program. As its name implies, this type of barrier is composed of rock-solid concrete. Being much heavier than its plastic counterpart, this k-rail is used exclusively for long duration projects.
Clearly, we have abundant choices when deploying barriers through our program of traffic control equipment rental. But no matter which barriers get the call, one fact remains undeniable – Roadway Construction Service is consistently making a vital contribution to effective Southern California Traffic Control. And you can bet we’ll be carrying on this tradition for a long, long time.
