Do you know the essentials that truly make a highway safe? Is this a clear side-road traffic sign, a smooth road, or a strong barrier that is built to prevent accidents and reflect as a serious disaster? Just like Malaysia has engineered stronger roads with all the reliable safety features that are more crucial than ever. This is where VG Steel Guardrails comes into the picture, delivering barrier guardrails that absorb the impact of vehicle hits and reduce damage, thereby protecting many lives. In this guide, you will learn how VG Steel engineered crash-tested guardrails that comply with global safety standards. Here, the guardrails are designed to perfectly suit the roads in Malaysia. So, if you are looking for a robust and reliable road safety guardrail solution, then VG Steel is the perfect place to build such a road safety barrier.
The Core Principles Behind VG Steel’s Impact-Resistant Guardrails
At VG Steel, road safety begins with precise protection, where VG Steel guardrails are crash-tested and developed through a systematic approach that combines road safety essentials with international road safety standards, the science behind the materials used, and insights into local road infrastructure. Here you will dive into eight prime pillars that will take you deeper into how VG Steel designs guardrails with maximum impact:
1. Engineered to Meet Global Safety Standards
Every guardrail designed with the refined approach at VG Steel is thoughtfully built to align with safety benchmarks such as AASHTO M180-00, EN ISO 1461, and BS729. All three standards support VG Steel in ensuring structural durability, strength, and reliable performance, even in the event of a high-impact disaster.
2. Crash Simulation and Testing
VG Steel Guardrails undergo advanced performance testing to evaluate their performance in real-world scenarios. With this, we prefer to test the real ability of the guardrails, especially to measure the level of absorption of kinetic energy, vehicle redirection, and passenger protection during a crash or any impact from a vehicle.
3. Use of High-Strength Materials
The VG Steel Guardrails are engineered from high-tensile and galvanized steel, recognized for their excellent yield and elongation properties. This allows guardrails to bend without breaking, even if hit hard. Thus, it ensures flexibility while maintaining structural integrity where it matters most.
4. Hot-Dip Galvanising for Durability
Each component in the engineering process of guardrails is hot-dip galvanizing to allow the guardrails to stand out even in the tropical climate of Malaysia. This ensures the longevity and safe performance of the entire guardrail system.
5. Modular, Tested End Terminals
The entire range of guardrail systems at VG Steel is well-engineered to reduce the risk of severe impact, longitudinal perforation, rebound, and uncontrollable vehicle behavior.
6. Custom Design for Local Conditions
The engineering team at VG Steel possesses the knowledge and expertise to adapt to the unique infrastructure demands of the guardrail system in Malaysia. This includes steep gradients, heavy traffic, and tight curves. Each section is engineered well to deliver maximum adaptability and impactful performance.
Guardrail Strength That Saves Lives
As you have read above, the VG Steel Guardrails are engineered with advanced features to deliver superior power to resist even severe impacts, lasting durability, and safety performance as per the standards. It is driven by precise manufacturing and advanced testing, which is why VG Steel guardrails can stand out even in high-impact conditions. With all this, we promise protection on every installation, while minimizing maintenance and maximizing the safety standards for many more years.
