Abstract

The conventional method of mounting crash barrier posts in the U.K. is to excavate and backfill with spoil and concrete. Trials in which the posts of a tensioned beam barrier were driven into the ground with a mobile hydraulic hammer have shown that overall savings in installation costs of about 15% can be expected.
