Industry-Standard Armco Corrugated Barriers

Armco barriers are the UK standard for vehicle impact control. Designed to deform dynamically upon collision, the corrugated 'W' profile absorbs and redistributes kinetic energy to safely stop or redirect vehicles while preventing structural damage to nearby buildings and equipment.

Choosing the Right Armco Post Profile

  • RSJ Posts (Rigid Protection): Heavy-duty Rolled Steel Joist (RSJ) posts provide exceptional resistance against severe impact forces. Ideal for HGV loading bays, high-traffic commercial yards, and structural perimeter walls.
  • Z-Posts (Yielding Protection): Engineered Z-profile posts flex on impact to absorb initial collision forces before transferring energy to the main barrier rail. Excellent for standard car parks, commercial premises, and lower-speed vehicle tracks.

Complete System Components & Accessories
Barrier Base supplies the complete Armco ecosystem, including 3.2m corrugated beams, curved sections, 90° and 135° corners, fishtail end terminals, polymer safety end caps, and wall-mount brackets. All components are available in standard galvanised steel or high-visibility safety yellow (RAL1007).

Specification Details & Finishes
All products are UK-manufactured using high-quality materials and precision engineering for consistent reliability across every installation.

  • Galvanised Steel: Hot-dip galvanised to BS EN 1461 standards for maximum long-term corrosion resistance.
  • Safety Yellow Finish: Powder-coated safety yellow (RAL 1007) available for high-visibility pedestrian zones.
  • Custom Finishes: Additional custom colours and specific length requirements available upon request.

Trusted Across Industries: Whether you are securing a construction site, defining safe pedestrian routes, or safeguarding high-risk loading bays, Barrier Base provides tailored barrier solutions engineered to last.
