nstallation of water-filled traffic barriers in rail environments requires coordination of placement, filling, and connection systems. Production rates vary based on barrier type, site access, and installation method. Modern quick-connect systems and efficient filling methods have improved deployment rates.

Key Statistics:

• Average installation: 200-300m/day
• Typical length per unit: 2-3m
• Water capacity: 500-600L/unit
• Best practice: 400m/day
• Empty weight: 50-70kg/unit
• Filled weight: 550-650kg/unit
• Deflection rating: TL-2/TL-3
• Connection time: 2-3 mins/unit
