Thrie Beam Guardrail
Reinforced strength and improved longevity.
The Thrie-Beam shares similar characteristics with the W-Beam Guardrail. Much like the W-Beam, the Thrie-Beam also consists of a post and block design which reduces wheel snagging and the possibility of the vehicle hurdling over the guardrail barrier.
The additional corrugation which is featured in the Thrie-Beam Guardrail stiffens the system, making it less prone to damage during low-moderate speed vehicle impacts, providing a comparatively sturdier guardrail barrier system that can withstand greater impact force. It also allows higher mounting of the rail, which increases the ability to contain vehicles larger than standard passenger cars under some impact conditions.
