Concrete Barriers
Accent Barriers specializes in supplying premium used concrete barriers, including the industry-standard 10-foot Jersey style. These robust barriers, weighing approximately 4,000 lbs each, measure 10 feet long, 32 inches high, and 24 inches wide at the base. Their durability and stability make them ideal for diverse applications, from traffic control and construction site safety to event security and crowd management.
Specifications
Beyond the traditional Jersey barrier, we offer the 'F' style concrete traffic barrier. These 12.5-foot-long units stand 32 inches tall, have a 24-inch base, and weigh approximately 5,400 pounds. Designed for increased coverage and weight, 'F' style barriers are ideal for applications demanding robust traffic control. While visually similar to Jersey barriers, their extended length and added weight provide enhanced performance in more challenging environments.
Moving and Handling
Handling these heavy barriers necessitates specialized equipment. Standard skid steers lack the capacity to move either type due to their substantial weight. Effective deployment requires heavy-duty machinery such as forklifts, telehandlers, payloaders, cranes, or excavators. These tools ensure safe and efficient placement of the barriers, regardless of whether the installation is temporary or permanent.
Applications
Concrete barriers exhibit remarkable versatility across diverse industries. Key applications include:
​
-
Traffic Management: Essential for directing traffic flow, creating safe work zones during road construction or accidents, and protecting both workers and the public.
​
-
Security: Effectively deter unauthorized access to restricted areas at events, commercial sites, and sensitive installations.
​
-
Flood Control: Employed to redirect water flow and mitigate flood damage in vulnerable areas, safeguarding properties and the environment.
​
-
Noise Reduction: When coupled with sound-absorbing barriers, they effectively mitigate noise pollution from highways and construction sites, creating quieter environments for nearby residents and businesses.
​
-
Perimeter Protection: Widely used to secure construction sites, parking lots, and critical infrastructure, safeguarding them from accidental impacts.

Advantages to Used Concrete Barriers
Utilizing recycled concrete barriers offers numerous advantages:
​
-
Cost-Effectiveness: Provides substantial protection at a significantly lower cost compared to purchasing new barriers.
​
-
Sustainability: Promotes environmental responsibility by reducing the demand for new resources and minimizing construction waste.
​
-
Availability: Generally more readily available for immediate deployment, which is critical for time-sensitive projects.

Used Vs New Barriers
We primarily offer used concrete barriers, providing a cost-effective and sustainable solution for many projects. By utilizing recycled barriers, you not only reduce expenses but also contribute to environmental conservation by repurposing durable materials. For projects requiring new barriers, we can fulfill those needs as well. New barriers ensure compliance with specific standards and are free from any prior wear and tear, making them ideal for projects where appearance is paramount.
Accent Barriers also provides comprehensive installation services. Our experienced team expertly handles the logistics and placement of barriers, ensuring correct and secure setup for optimal effectiveness and stability.
