Sustainable and designer urban barriers to protect and structure public spaces

Road safety: the city barrier to protect pedestrians and guide traffic

The implantation of an city barrier or an urban safety barrier is an indispensable solution in any project of public road construction urban development and improvement. In urban environments, the sidewalk barrier protects pedestrians from vehicular traffic, secures a sensitive area, protects the school entrances of a school zone, preserves the exits of buildings, and prevents reckless crossing of the roadway. In every city, installing a robust urban barrier allows pedestrian traffic to be channeled towards the protected passages.

To meet the expectations of each city and community, the urban Atech barrier integrates harmoniously into the landscape. To structure a complete urban space, the urban barrier ideally combines with our Road signs and safety bollards, We, public benches and resting seats as well as

Each city barrier is designed with steel tube sections measuring 50 x 50 millimeters or 60 millimeters in diameter, ensuring exceptional rigidity against vandalism.

Durable materials, zinc protection and choice of finishes

Our urban barriers and protective barriers are made of thick steel:

To ensure quick and durable installation on site, each city barrier is available in two installation methods:

• Direct sealing in concrete: Extended feet of 200 to 300 millimeters for direct sealing in a concrete massif, offering the best security against tearing off.
• Position on platforms: Steel plates 10 millimeters thick welded in-house for direct mechanical attachment to a slab or wall.
• Removable city barrier option: assembly of the barrier in lockable enclosures with triangular keys to release the passage in case of a demonstration or intervention by emergency services.
