Safe At Sites ProGuard City Barriers deliver strong results in new EN1317-2 simulations
Safe At Site presents new simulation results for the ProGuard City Barrier, focusing on performance at lower speeds common in urban environments. Through advanced simulations, performed under the same conditions as capacity class T2 according to EN 1317-2, the barrier’s behavior has been analyzed at 50 and 30 km/h. The results show that the Citybarrier delivers stable protection, low working width and high level of personal protection even at these speeds.
At 50 km/h, the City Barrier has a working width of 0.77 meters, and at 30 km/h only 0.50 meters. All simulations resulted in a damage risk class A, which is the highest safety level according to the standard’s classification system. The new results reinforce the barrier’s position as a highly effective solution in urban environments, where limited space and high demands on both safety and accessibility place special requirements on barrier equipment.
The simulations follow the established Safe At Sites development model. The simulation method is verified through real-life tests and the documentation shows that the completed full-scale tests have confirmed the accuracy of the simulations. This provides high predictability and confidence in how the barrier performs under real conditions.
– These are obviously very positive results for projects in urban environments. The City Barrier combines high safety with low working width and this makes a big difference for all contractors working in confined spaces where every meter counts. The fact that the simulations are also verified by previous full-scale tests provides extra security for us and our customers,” says Lars Boogh, COO at Safe At Site.
With strong performance, easy handling and an attractive price/performance ratio, the Citybarrier is a smart choice for both contractors and TA operators looking for effective security solutions in urban traffic environments.
