Product Overview

The Water Filled Barrier, White is a 6-foot polyethylene channelizing wall section for work zones, lane closures, pedestrian routes, event perimeters and site security. It ships light at about 85 lb empty and weighs about 1,110 lb once filled with water, so a crew can place it by hand and then fill it in place.

Each section is 72 x 18 x 32 inches, molded from UV-resistant linear low-density polyethylene. Sections link end to end with steel connection pins (sold separately) to form a continuous wall, and a fence panel can mount on top with a 72-inch T-pin for a taller perimeter. White suits urban sites, facilities and events, and pairs with orange sections for alternating color runs.

Drain the water and the empty sections stack for transport and storage.

Expert Insights

Fill barriers in place, never before moving them: a full section weighs over half a ton. Before freezing weather, drain the sections or ask us about the manufacturer's freeze-protection guidance, since ice can split the polyethylene.

Pro tip: inspect the connection pins and keeper pins at every shift change on active roadways. A missing keeper pin is the most common reason a barrier run separates.

For highway safety teams, construction zone managers, and event management companies: Water-filled barriers provide crashworthy protection for workers, pedestrians, and infrastructure in active roadways and high-traffic areas. When filled, these barriers create a substantial impact-absorbing wall that redirects errant vehicles without the hazards of concrete.

Deployed empty and filled on-site, water-filled barriers drastically reduce shipping costs and allow rapid repositioning as work zones shift. Cable-connected systems maintain barrier alignment under impact for continuous perimeter security at construction sites, special events, and government facilities.
