Concrete Barrier

Installation

FASTER INSTALLATION. SAFER WORKING. LESS DISRUPTION.

At APC, we’ve developed a specialist approach to concrete barrier installation that delivers greater speed, efficiency and safety on site.

Combining innovative hydraulic lifting equipment with experienced operators and proven installation methods, we can install, reposition and remove concrete barriers quickly and accurately, helping contractors minimise disruption and keep projects moving.

From major highways and infrastructure schemes to construction sites and temporary traffic management, we provide a complete installation service tailored to the demands of each project.

A SMARTER WAY TO INSTALL

Our unique installation system has been designed to simplify the handling and positioning of concrete barriers, reducing the time, labour and equipment required on site.

Using an integrated JJ hook connection system, our barriers can be securely linked without secondary connectors or the need to drill into the ground surface.

This makes installation particularly suitable for bridges, viaducts and newly laid road surfaces, where protecting the existing structure is essential.

With fewer installation stages and less manual handling, our approach helps reduce costs, improve efficiency and create a safer working environment.

SPEED WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Time is critical on busy construction and infrastructure projects. Our specialist installation methods allow us to work efficiently, even within demanding schedules and restricted working windows.

  • Up to 1,200 linear metres installed in a single shift.
  • Up to 500 linear metres relocated per hour.
  • Up to 50% fewer operatives required.

By eliminating secondary connectors and ground fixings, we can significantly reduce installation and removal times, helping minimise road closures, site disruption and associated costs.

SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT. GREATER CONTROL.

Our purpose-designed hydraulic lifting equipment allows concrete barriers to be lifted, rotated, tilted and accurately positioned in a single operation.

Unlike traditional mechanical grabs and lifting chains, our system provides greater control throughout the installation process, reducing manual intervention and the risks associated with lifting heavy concrete structures.

Operatives no longer need to work at height when offloading barriers from HGVs, providing additional safety benefits for site teams and the surrounding public.

It’s a practical approach that combines innovation with real-world experience to deliver safer, more efficient installations.

COMPLETE SOLUTIONS. ONE POINT OF CONTACT.

Every project presents different challenges. From temporary traffic management and pedestrian protection to major infrastructure works and site security, we understand that the right barrier system is only part of the solution.

APC offers a comprehensive range of concrete barrier systems, supported by the expertise and equipment needed to deliver and install them.

Whether you’re working around tight curves, protecting a vacant site or creating a safe pedestrian route, we’ll help identify the most suitable solution for your requirements.

Our experience working alongside major contractors and traffic management companies means we’re familiar with complex site conditions, demanding deadlines and the importance of getting everything right first time.

DELIVERY TAKEN CARE OF

Getting the right equipment and materials to site, at the right time, is essential to keeping a project on schedule.

APC provides a coordinated delivery and installation service, ensuring concrete barriers, specialist machinery and experienced operators arrive together, ready to work.

Our transport capabilities include general haulage, low-loader transport for plant and equipment, and flat-bed vehicles with or without vehicle-mounted forklifts.

From initial planning through to final positioning, we take care of the logistics so you can focus on the wider project.

EXPERIENCE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

At APC, we combine specialist equipment, practical knowledge and a commitment to safe working to deliver installations that meet the demands of modern construction and infrastructure projects.

Whether it’s a straightforward installation or a complex, time-critical operation, we’ll find the most effective way to get the job done.
