CityWall 2 metre water filled barrier, crash tested to 25mph
The CityWall is a 2 metre water filled barrier for lane closures, site edges and pedestrian protection on live carriageways. Crash tested to 25mph with fencing extensions fitted, it kept working as a continuous wall and showed only cosmetic damage under test by Melba Swintex. Each unit links to the next with a Hook and Eye connector, holds 250 litres of water and accepts fence tops for a full-height perimeter - a far easier alternative to concrete on temporary works.
Key features
-
Crash tested to 25mph - tested with fencing extensions fitted, showing only cosmetic damage.
-
2 metre coverage - 2040mm working length and 800mm height per unit, so runs go down fast.
-
250-litre ballast - 21.5kg empty for handling, 271.5kg filled for stability.
-
Hook and Eye connection - stays secure at angles past 280 degrees for flexible layouts.
-
Quick to fill and empty - fill from either side, drain through the removable plug, move via the forklift entry points.
-
Recyclable HDPE - UV stable and weather resistant, made in the UK by Melba Swintex.
Where it is used
- Highway works - crash-rated protection for resurfacing, signage and utilities
- Rail and civil engineering - rerouting pedestrians and vehicles during works
- Urban construction - separating cycleways and walkways from the works
- Airports and ports - guiding traffic during temporary closures
- Events - crowd control with fence-height coverage
Fence tops for full-height protection
The CityWall accepts three tool-free height extensions: the Mini-DoubleTop (a compact, Chapter 8 compliant top with reflective strips), the full-height DoubleTop with hi-vis reflective spindles, and galvanised steel mesh panels where a tamper-resistant perimeter is preferred. The crash test was carried out with fencing extensions fitted, so the barrier keeps its rating with tops in place.
