Guardrails T18

Glissières Tertu




At the start of the 1990s, our Research and Development Department came up with a new concept: the combination of wood and steel which solves several problems:
- using the aesthetic, braking mechanics and damping properties of wood
- reinforcing naturally heterogeneous wood with a metal frame

The first mixed wood & steel guardrail tested according to the European standard as early as 1996, and the only system of this type to have been permanently approved by the French Road Administration .


A tried and tested model: with more than 1500 km installed in France and Europe

Tested with 4m and 2m post spacing  
Easy to assemble and quick to install


 
Our range of guardrails based on this concept is covered by several patents.
