Description

External Armco Rigid 90° Degree Corner

This Rigid 90° Armco external barrier corner is just one of our wide range of Armco crash barrier products. The Rigid 90°corner is perfect for creating sharp clean corners and is used for runs where the angle is exactly 90° as we have many other angled Armco barrier sections. These External barrier corners have exceptional strength and close any potential openings that pedestrians may try and get through. Like most of our Armco range, the external corner is made from strong durable hot-dip galvanised steel. This means it will last the test of time and is weather resistant which ensures years of protection from erosion.

Advantages of External Armco Rigid 90° Corners

• Welded 90° Corner – Strong and Sturdy squared design for ease when creating consistent runs.
• Easy Installation -They are made with a set standard in quality control which means that the holes line up and are easier to install than cheaper alternatives.
• Hot Dip Galvanised Finish – A hot-dip galvanised finish prevents corrosion and keeps them weather resistant for many years.
• Compatibility –– Build a setup that perfectly fits your needs.

External Armco rigid corners are an essential component of off-road crash barriers, providing sturdy protection and ensuring the safety of motorists and pedestrians. These corners are specifically designed to withstand impact forces and effectively redirect vehicles, preventing them from colliding with hazardous objects or entering restricted areas. One of the popular variants of these corners is the galvanized Armco rigid corner, which offers enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

The external Armco rigid corners are engineered to fit seamlessly with the Armco crash barrier system, creating a robust and reliable barrier solution. These corners are constructed using high-quality galvanized steel, which is known for its exceptional strength and longevity. The galvanization process involves coating the steel with a layer of zinc, providing an additional protective barrier against rust, corrosion, and other environmental elements. This ensures that the corners can endure harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall, extreme temperatures, and exposure to salt or chemicals commonly found on roads.

The design of the external Armco rigid corners is carefully engineered to facilitate easy installation and integration with the crash barrier system. Each corner is manufactured to meet industry standards and specifications, ensuring compatibility and uniformity throughout the barrier installation. The corners feature precise angles and dimensions to create smooth and seamless transitions between barrier sections, minimizing any potential gaps or weak points that could compromise the overall effectiveness of the crash barrier.

To securely fix the external Armco rigid corners to the crash barrier system, 4no M16x35 grade 8.8 lap bolts (F07) are utilized. These lap bolts are specifically selected for their strength, reliability, and compatibility with the corners.

During the installation process, the M16x35 grade 8.8 lap bolts are inserted through pre-drilled holes in the Armco rigid corners, aligning them with corresponding holes in the adjacent barrier sections. The lap bolts are then secured using compatible nuts and washers, creating a tight and secure connection. This fastening method ensures that the corners remain firmly in place and capable of withstanding significant impact forces.

The use of lap bolts provides several advantages in terms of stability and load-bearing capacity. The threaded portion of the bolt allows for a stronger grip, distributing the load evenly and reducing the risk of loosening or dislodging over time. The grade 8.8 classification ensures that the bolts can withstand substantial tension and shear forces, further enhancing the overall structural integrity of the crash barrier system.

In conclusion, external Armco rigid corners galvanized to suit off-road crash barriers are integral components of a reliable and durable barrier system. Their robust construction, galvanized coating, and precise design make them ideal for withstanding high impact forces and harsh environmental conditions.
