The Basics of Water-Filled Barriers

Our water-filled barriers are constructed with high-quality Polyethylene plastic, making them lightweight when empty but highly stable and impact-absorbing when filled with water. These barriers are designed for durability, with resistance to splitting, cracking, and deterioration, even in harsh weather conditions.

They are ideal for various applications, including:

  • Construction areas
  • Work zones
  • Crowd control
  • Temporary roadblocks
  • Public works projects
  • Special events/sporting events
  • Traffic channelizing

Water-filled barriers strike an essential balance between protecting motorists and workers. Studies show that most work zone fatalities involve drivers and passengers, making these barriers a practical and economical safety solution.

Benefits of Our Water-Filled Barriers

Compared to concrete and MASS barriers, water-filled barriers are cost-effective and reusable throughout the lifespan of a project. Their reusability reduces the cost per use, making them a smart investment.

These barriers are also available in various sizes, are easy to transport, and are quick to set up, making them ideal for both short-term and long-term applications.

Swift Transport and Setup

Water-filled barriers are lightweight and can be easily transported and set up by a two-person team. They are ideal for emergency situations requiring rapid deployment and offer reliable security.

High-Visibility Colors

To ensure maximum safety for traffic and construction crews, our barriers are available in highly visible colors designed to stand out in any weather condition.

Interlocking Design

Our modular, interlocking design allows for creating straight lines or curves as needed. This feature minimizes the risk of accidental or intentional misalignment, making these barriers reliable for various configurations.

Although secure and stable once filled, additional barriers can be seamlessly added as your project progresses.

When to Use Water-Filled Barriers

These barriers are ideal for applications such as traffic control, crowd management, road closures, and pedestrian safety. Specific uses include:

Traffic Control

Use water-filled barriers to channel traffic, separate vehicles from pedestrian zones, or designate parking areas. Their plastic construction minimizes vehicle damage compared to concrete alternatives, making them a safer option for temporary or long-term use.

Crowd Control

For concerts, festivals, or sporting events, these barriers provide stability, high visibility, and a secure obstacle system. Their lightweight construction makes them easy to set up and adjust as needed.

Road or Walkway Closures

Water-filled barriers are perfect for closing roads or walkways. Their rapid deployment ensures quick and efficient blocking of vehicular or pedestrian access, even during emergencies.
