The CityWall crash barrier fills with over 250 litres of water, reaching a working weight of 271.5 kg for robust performance on live roads. At 2295 mm in overall length and 800 mm in height, units connect via a hook and eye system with over 280 degrees of angular movement. That means you can run a continuous line around corners, junctions, and irregular site boundaries to match the exact layout of any road or work site.
These barriers are manufactured from HDPE and resistant in all weather conditions, rain and UV stable throughout your project. Entry points on both sides of each unit let your team fill quickly and safely, and the removable bung at the base makes emptying just as straightforward. If your site needs added height, you can fit a Double Top unit on top for an overall height of 1.8m.
Where you need safety barriers for events or urban perimeter work, the City Wall gives you traffic control and brand presence in one unit. Specify bespoke colour coding on the top, base, or both, and add an embossed corporate logo to create a branded site boundary. Approved for roads up to 25 mph, it suits residential streets, town centres, utility works, lane closures, and vehicle exclusion zones.
