Nu-Guard PVB® Steel Guardrail System

Nu-Guard® PVB® is a joint pedestrian and vehicle barrier that was developed for use by SCRIT for the Christchurch rebuild. Derived from the proven highway guardrail system Nu-Guard ® 31, this barrier system provides protection for all road users for local authority roads where the posted speed limit is below 70kph.

FEATURES
  • Vehicle crash retainment together with both pedestrian and cycle protection
  • Uses standard NUCOR® ground driven steel posts which enable faster installation (using post rammer) and with steel, longer post life
  • Uses the composite plastic NUCOR® Blockouts which are easy to install and durable
  • Can be retrofitted to existing Nu-Guard® 31 installations providing the posted speed limit is 70kph
  • Quick and easy to install using standard industry equipment
  • Can be manufactured to accommodate horizontal and vertical curves
  • Can be placed closer to walls allowing for increased shoulder, footpath or road width usage
  • No requirement for the posts to be installed in concrete foundations removing the need for costly bolt down options
  • Can be used with the Anchorbloc™ retaining wall system with no adverse effect to the vehicle impact performance of the barrier
SPECIFICATIONS
  • Endorsed for use on local authority roads where the posted speed is limited to 70kph

  • All components are hot dipped galvanised
