Portuguese company 7640 Sernis will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014 to present B-Rail, a new concept of road safety barriers designed for any type of vehicle and developed to be ultra-resistant and withstand vehicular impacts.

Sernis claims that B-Rail has an absorption power and damping shock greater than conventional guard rail solutions, due to its raw material and internal structure. In addition, the barrier has a high absorption/dissipation capacity of impact energy at higher speed than conventional guard rail protection. Moreover, it has the ability to absorb the shock and stop the vehicle, preventing it from being thrown from the road.

B-Rail uses polymer material and advanced structural design which eliminates all sharp edges. The product can be customised with different colours as well as the application of reflective particles, which may help resolve problems of poor visibility in certain areas.%$Linker: 2 Asset <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 4 93442 0 oLinkExternal www.Sernis.com Sernis web false /EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=93442 false false%>
