Product Value & Applications
Defender50 water barriers provide an advanced solution for managing site and public safety in demanding traffic control scenarios. Their proven 50 mph crash-tested design ensures compliance with stringent UK safety standards, giving contractors peace of mind on critical infrastructure projects.
These water filled barriers serve construction companies working on highways, city roads, and temporary traffic management schemes where both impact resistance and flexibility are required. Unlike typical plastic road barriers, the Defender50 allows the installation of metal fencing panels and compound gates without compromising system integrity. This provides valuable versatility when creating secure, delineated zones around active worksites.
Each unit is quick to deploy and can be filled on-site, with forklift access facilitating easy placement and repositioning. The 400-litre capacity combined with the UV-stable material ensures these barriers remain durable and effective in varied UK weather conditions.
Procurement managers seeking BS EN 1317 certified water barriers will appreciate the Defender50’s unique ability to combine high impact resistance with practical features such as sump plugs and modular connectivity. The system’s capacity for branding also supports contractor visibility on public projects.
Whether used for temporary traffic diversion, pedestrian safeguarding, or delineating hazardous work areas, the Defender50 remains the leading choice for high-performance water filled barriers in the UK market.
