Cable Trough System

Croom Concrete has many years’ experience in the design, manufacture and supply of precast concrete railway troughs.

FEATURES:

Our concrete vehicle traffic barriers have a H1 impact level and a W7 working width which has been tested in accordance with DIN EN 1317-2.

Reinforced C – 35 concrete are manufactured in the New Jersey shape and are double sided allowing them to a free standing permanent system than can operate without any backing. Due to this shape the more common, shallow angle hits, damage to sheet metal is minimised by allowing the vehicles tyres to ride up on the lower sloped surface. The units which measure 3500m x 610mm x 810mm (L x B x H) are fitted with lifting hooks to allow easy installation. The connection system our vehicle traffic barriers use are a 1No. J.J hook fitted to the end of the barrier which interlocks, thus providing a 1 piece joining system for speed and safety of installation. J.J hooks are welded to the reinforcement, thus providing continuous linkage through the barrier.

Reflectors can be fitted after the barrier is installed.

Croom Precast Concrete deliver Vehicle Traffic Barriers and more to our clients in Ireland and the UK.

Cable Troughs

Railway troughs are designed to safely support and enclose power and communication cables, and protect them from damage. There are made from solid, precast concrete and can be sited above ground or buried under the surface. Cable troughs provide easy access for maintenance, repair and improvements, as well as giving complete protection. A railway trough will usually have a flush-fitting lid. The precast concrete used is resistant to chemicals and non-conductive to electricity, and can protect cables from freezing or overheating in extreme weather conditions.
