PERMANENT
MDS® TL5 Barriers are engineered for permanent installation on structures, offering durable and reliable protection. Featuring a minimalist design with just three rails, these barriers effectively reduce wind loads and prevent snow accumulation in heavy snowfall areas by allowing snow to pass through. The MDS VGSH400 model includes a base rail equipped with an impact absorption cushion, which minimizes force transmission to the bridge deck upon impact, enhancing the structural integrity and longevity of the bridge.
TRANSITIONS
MDS® Barriers integrate effortlessly with all guardrails, concrete barriers, and end treatments, ensuring smooth, continuous protection without compromising safety or aesthetics.
SAFE & SECURE
As bridge rehabilitation projects increase, so does the demand for high-containment, high-performance TL5 barriers that are quick to install on work bridges. MDS® Barriers are meticulously designed to meet these challenges, delivering superior protection and peace of mind for every project
