Road safety barrier experts from Hardstaff Barriers delivered a Vehicle Restraint System (VRS) seminar yesterday to their largest-ever audience.

More than 130 employees from construction and infrastructure services company, Kier, were invited to Hardstaff’s popular online Highway VRS CPD Seminar. Nigel Bullock and Sarah Compton outlined the importance of adhering to the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) ‘CD 377 Requirements for road restraint systems’ document.

The REBLOC products, which are all CD 377 compliant, provide a complete range of Containment and Performance Levels ranging from normal (N2), higher (H1 & H2) to very high (H4a) containment. Attendees included engineers, designers, surveyors, and estimators from Kier’s specialist highways team.
