Bison Water-Filled Barrier

Product Overview:
The Bison Water-Filled Barrier is a heavy-duty, interlocking traffic-management barrier developed for the temporary separation of pedestrian routes, vehicles and working areas. Each two-metre unit remains manageable when empty, then gains substantial stability when filled with water. High-visibility markings and a solid lower profile make it suitable for roadworks, construction sites, depots, infrastructure projects and events where clear, continuous segregation is required.

Connected barriers form straight runs or turn through up to 90 degrees without separate corner adaptors, helping contractors respond to changing site layouts. The stackable design supports efficient transport and storage, while water ballast avoids permanently fixing the system to the ground. When correctly filled, the standard barrier has been wind tested to 75mph, providing dependable performance in exposed conditions. Optional mesh or solid hoarding panels can increase height, screening or perimeter definition, although the wind rating must be checked for the chosen configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are the dimensions and weight of the Bison barrier?
A. Each barrier measures approximately 2000mm long, 1000mm high and 400mm deep. It weighs around 35kg empty and approximately 400kg when correctly filled with water.

Q. Can the barriers be used around corners?
A. Yes. The pin-locking connection allows adjoining barriers to turn through angles of up to 90 degrees without requiring separate corner units or adaptors.

Q. Are reflective markings included?
A. Yes. Red and white barriers are supplied with Chapter 8 compliant reflective strips as standard to improve visibility around temporary traffic and pedestrian routes.

Q. Can mesh or solid hoarding panels be added?
A. Yes. Compatible mesh and solid hoarding panels are available separately. Adding panels changes the overall height and wind-loading performance, so the complete configuration should be checked before ordering.

Q. Is the Bison a vehicle-restraint or crash barrier?
A. The Bison is intended for traffic delineation, pedestrian segregation and temporary site safety. It should not replace a certified vehicle-restraint system unless specifically approved within the project design.
