Eco-Friendly DB80 K150 Road Barrier
Discover Jaybro's eco-friendly road barriers, a major advancement in sustainable infrastructure, developed collaboratively by Jaybro, SVC, and Holcim, combining safety with environmental awareness.
Introducing Australia's pioneering Road Safety Barrier System, meticulously designed to ensure the highest standards in vehicle restraint and redirection for those deviating from their path in various traffic scenarios. This groundbreaking system stands as a key element in any traffic management and control plan, boasting several unique features:
Australia's first temporary concrete barrier, uniquely offering CO2 emission reductions through its innovative use of lower-cement concrete.
The revolutionary ECOpact mix leads the way with a remarkable 41.2% CO2 emission reduction compared to the current Australian LCI baseline for 40MPa concrete.
Achieve a complete 100% carbon reduction by integrating the ECOpact concrete mix with a certified eligible carbon offset - introducing ECOpact ZERO, a game-changer in sustainable road safety solutions.
Proud to have played a part in the creation of the first Temporary Concrete Barrier that offers CO2 emission reductions. We haven't just created a safer barrier for the environment we live in, we have 3KM of this barrier being deployed in the early months of 2024!
