Armco Barrier
History: The company was founded in 1899 as The American Rolling Mill Company (Armco) in Middle-town, Ohio, where it operated a production facility.
The Common Myth
Armco is a certain strength barrier which can't be bettered.
The facts
Armco was merely a brand name, and could be applied to even the weakest steel barrier - misleading some people who may have thought they'd purchased the industry leader.
How does a crash barrier work?
Off-road crash barriers are not just designed to stop moving vehicles, they are engineered to control and reduce the impact of the collision, but how do they do this?
The barriers are made from steel which although feels very rigid and strong to us, it is flexible through its corrugated profile. The internal structure of steel gives it flexible properties that allow it to bend under impact so that the energy of the collision is absorbed and diverted from the vehicle. The energy of the collision is spread across a wider area and so the force of the impact is reduced.
The barriers are not limited to roadside protection. They can be used to protect utility areas such as electricity pylons, car parks, schools, warehouses – where ever there is a need for collision protection, crash barriers can be used.
