PROFESSIONAL STEEL SAFETY BARRIERS & VEHICLE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
R&P Engineering specialises in the design, fabrication, and installation of BS EN 1317 vehicle restraint systems and steel safety barriers for commercial, industrial, and highway applications in Swindon, Bath, Bristol, Reading, London – in fact throughout the United Kingdom.
Our comprehensive range of containment level barriers are manufactured to meet rigorous crash testing standards and comply with all relevant British Standards and Health and Safety Executive requirements.
Our engineering team fabricates steel post and rail systems that adhere to BS EN 1317 specifications, encompassing critical performance parameters including containment level barriers, working width classification, impact severity level, and deflection distance calculations. Each barrier system undergoes thorough analysis to ensure compliance with applicable crash testing standards and load rating calculations specific to the installation environment.
We manufacture both permanent highway barriers and temporary traffic management systems, offering flexible solutions for diverse applications including:
- Surface Mounted Barriers – Designed for installation on existing concrete or asphalt surfaces
- Bolt-down Barrier Systems – Providing robust anchorage for high-impact applications
- Cast-in Barrier Foundations – Permanent installations with superior structural integrity
- Modular Barrier Systems – Configurable solutions adaptable to site-specific requirements
SPECIALISED VEHICLE ARREST & SAFETY SYSTEMS
R&P Engineering provides advanced vehicle arrest systems engineered to specified hostile vehicle mitigation ratings. Our barrier solutions incorporate energy absorbing barriers technology, designed to manage kinetic energy during vehicle impact whilst minimising deflection distance and maintaining structural integrity within defined working width classification parameters.
For facilities requiring enhanced security measures, we design and manufacture barriers with certified hostile vehicle mitigation ratings, suitable for protecting critical infrastructure, government facilities, commercial premises, and public spaces against vehicle-borne security threats.
Our industrial barrier range is specifically engineered to withstand operational hazards in warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing environments. All systems are designed with forklift impact resistance as a primary consideration, incorporating load rating calculations appropriate to the specific material handling equipment and traffic patterns present on site.
Industrial applications include:
- Warehouse rack protection barriers
- Pedestrian segregation systems
- Loading bay safety barriers
- Machinery guarding solutions
- Perimeter security fencing
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND HIGHWAY SAFETY SYSTEMS
Our permanent highway barriers are engineered to BS EN 1317 specifications, incorporating appropriate containment levels, impact severity levels, and working width classifications for motorway, dual carriageway, and urban road applications.
We also manufacture temporary traffic management systems suitable for roadworks, events, and construction site applications, providing certified vehicle restraint performance whilst facilitating rapid deployment and reconfiguration.
From initial consultation through design development, fabrication, and installation supervision, R&P Engineering provides comprehensive project management services. Our technical team works collaboratively with clients, consulting engineers, and regulatory authorities to ensure all our barrier systems meet all applicable performance criteria.
All our systems undergo rigorous quality control procedures throughout the fabrication process. Our quality management system ensures dimensional accuracy, weld integrity, surface preparation standards, and coating specifications are verified prior to dispatch. Where applicable, we provide full traceability documentation including material certificates, welding procedure specifications, and test reports.
