The Trojan Barrier is a 1m water filled road barrier manufactured from 100% recyclable HDPE, designed to separate work areas, Manage Pedestrian Flow, and maintain Chapter 8 compliance on construction sites, at events, and in public venues. At 80kg when water-filled and just 5kg empty, it is straightforward to transport and position before filling on site. The HDPE construction makes the Trojan Barrier a fully recyclable barrier option for procurement teams with environmental requirements or sustainability reporting obligations.
The integral slot design holds Mesh Toppings securely and minimises rattle, maintaining a stable, quiet installation during active site operations. The Trojan Barrier rotates up to 19 degrees, allowing placement on uneven terrain and in configurations that require slight angular adjustments to follow the site boundary. A seamless connection between units prevents gaps in the barrier line, which is important for perimeter continuity on both construction site delineation and event crowd management applications.
Forklift entry points allow machine-assisted repositioning, and the safe stacking capability ensures efficient storage when barriers are not in use. For sites requiring greater height, the Pyramid Mesh Topping is compatible with the Trojan Barrier's integral slot for an increased perimeter profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is the Trojan Barrier recyclable?
A. Yes. The Trojan Barrier is manufactured from 100% recyclable HDPE (high-density polyethylene). At end of life, the material is fully recyclable, which supports procurement requirements on projects with environmental specifications or sustainability reporting criteria. For contracts directors and procurement leads working on projects where material sustainability is assessed at tender stage, the Trojan Barrier provides a documented environmental advantage over barriers manufactured from non-recyclable materials.
Q. How much does the Trojan Barrier weigh when water filled?
A. The Trojan Barrier weighs 80kg when water-filled, from an empty weight of 5kg. The integral slot design minimises rattle from toppings and additional panels during active site operations, which is useful on long-term deployments where noise from barrier movement causes site disruption. The 19-degree rotation capability allows the barrier to sit flat on uneven terrain, maintaining ground contact across the full base width for consistent stability.
Q. Is the Trojan Barrier Chapter 8 compliant?
A. Yes. The Trojan Barrier is Chapter 8 compliant. It is suited to construction site delineation, event management, hazard identification, and perimeter demarcation on roads and public sites. The Pyramid Mesh Topping is compatible with the Trojan Barrier's integral slot for sites requiring increased height. For water filled barrier hire applications where Chapter 8 compliance is a specification requirement, the Trojan Barrier provides a straightforward, cost-effective option within the Altrad Generation range.
