Among its many varied and live demonstrations, next week’s Highways SIB (Seeing is Believing) event will feature a Road Worker Safety Showcase, which aims to give visitors first-hand experience of various new products designed to help ensure the safety of road workers.
WJ Group will demonstrate its WJ Guardian system, which allows operatives to install road studs, whilst protecting them within an integrated safety cell of an 18-ton truck. The demonstration will feature WJ’s new Allux prismatic road stud but the concept can be used for installation of all types of road studs.
Visitors will be able to test-drive Highway Care’s barrier transfer machine (BTM) and move a positive barrier from one lane to another with the QuickChange moveable barrier (QMB), a linked ‘chain’ of reactive tension barrier units which can moved across the carriageway by the BTM allowing lane priority changes.
Those test-driving the machine will be scored and the winner will receive a pair of Hospitality tickets to the 2017 Mini Challenge races. Sponsored by Highway Care, Mini Challenge Champion Charlie Butler Henderson will also be showing off his driving skills by taking a spin on the QMB.
Highway Care will also feature its portable BarrierGuard 800 as a secure steel barrier as well as the SOSEC solar powered mobile highways access gate.
Visitors to the showcase will also see a road worker speed awareness experience, highlighting the vulnerability of road workers and the need to drive at mandatory speed limits through roadworks.
Highways SIB takes place from 9-10 November 2016 at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Leicestershire.
