TrafFix Devices, a manufacturer and supplier of traffic control devices and crash attenuation products, is enhancing work zone safety with its new Water Wall barrier system.
As a MASH-eligible TL-2 Longitudinal Channelizing Device, the Water Wall provides critical protection in work zones by clearly delineating spaces while maintaining optimal visibility for drivers. Its 32-inch tall by 72-inch long low-profile design ensures clear sightlines at intersections, improving traffic awareness and reducing accident risks.
Manufactured from durable, low-density polyethylene plastic, the Water Wall is built for longevity, resisting cracks and breakage even in demanding conditions. Its double-wall knuckle design reinforces hinge points, reducing the risk of structural failure. With a hinge that allows up to 30 degrees of pivoting, the barrier can be adjusted to fit various layouts, while a newly introduced corner piece enables 90-degree turns for even greater versatility.
The Water Wall is engineered for efficiency, and includes an 8-inch fill hole with a twist-lock plastic cap, expediting the filling process, and a tamper-resistant offset drain plug that secures or releases in just two and a half turns. A steel connection and keeper pin system ensures secure interlocking between sections, while molded-in forklift and pallet jack slots allow for easy transport and positioning. For added security, the Water Wall is compatible with the Water-Wall chain-link fence attachment, providing an additional layer of protection when necessary.
Designed to meet rigorous safety standards, the Water Wall has been MASH and NCHRP-350 tested and passed as a TL-1 Barrier Wall, TL-2 Longitudinal Channelizing Device, and TL-3 Barricade. It also seamlessly connects to the SLED end treatment, eliminating the need for additional shielding or flaring, further simplifying deployment.
