Innovative, cost effective solution for safety barrier applications

Vetex normal containment (N2) system combines safety performance with installation convenience. Vetex® N2 is an innovative, cost effective solution for safety barrier applications.

  • Several post spacing options
  • Acceleration Severity Index (ASI) A class on several options
  • Fully compatible with existing UK steel barrier systems
  • Untensioned for quick, easy installation and low maintenance
  • Approved by the Highways Agency
