Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the 12-foot rail only available as an I-beam and not an economy rail?
Economy rails max out at 10 feet. The 12-foot length requires the structural integrity and flexibility of the I-beam polyethylene construction to maintain its shape and withstand the wind loads and potential vehicle impacts associated with such a wide span.
How many people are needed to install a 12-foot rail?
Two-person handling is strongly recommended. While the rail weighs only 11 lbs, the 12-foot length makes it difficult for one person to align and insert into the A-Frame leg slots, especially in windy conditions or near live traffic.
Can I use 12-foot rails in a taper configuration?
Yes. Use 12-foot rails at the beginning of approach tapers where maximum visibility is needed, then transition to shorter rails through the taper. MUTCD provides specific taper length formulas based on speed limit and number of lanes.
What is the wind load concern with 12-foot rails?
The 12-foot reflective surface area creates substantial wind resistance. Without proper ballasting (sand-filled A-Frame leg compartments at 40+ lbs per leg), barricade assemblies with 12-foot rails can tip over in moderate winds or vehicle-generated air turbulence.
Is the 12-foot I-beam rail NCHRP 350 compliant?
The I-beam barrier rail system is designed to meet MUTCD requirements for Type I barricades. For NCHRP 350 crashworthiness testing results, call us at (800) 869-9633 or consult the FHWA Eligible Crashworthy Devices list.
