Expert Insights
Pro tip: fill sections fully. A partly filled section weighs far less than its rating and will move more if struck.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a cable barrier different from a standard water-filled barrier?
Both are 72 x 18 x 32-inch polyethylene sections filled with water for weight. The cable barrier adds steel cables molded inside the wall, which hold linked sections together as a continuous run. It is chosen where a run sits next to live traffic and needs more strength than a standard section.
Is this barrier crash tested?
Requirements vary by agency and project. Call (800) 869-9633 and we'll send the manufacturer's current crash-test and approval documents so you can confirm the barrier meets your project specification before you order.
How heavy is it to handle?
About 100 lb empty, so two people can place a section. Filled, it weighs about 1,070 lb, so always position sections before filling.
How do I get a price and lead time?
