TSA Funded T-Lok Rubber Safety Barrier Gets Approval
An innovative use of Tyre Derived Material (TDM) will enhance public safety and support the recovery of end-of-life tyres in Australia — 1 kilometre of T-Lok barriers uses 12 tonnes of recycled rubber which is the equivalent of 2,000 passenger tyres, and it is projected the product could use up to 60,000 (360 tonnes) passenger tyres per year.
The inclusion of rubber crumb derived from tyres enhances the flexibility and durability of the concrete barrier resulting in better energy absorption, reduced risk to vehicle occupants and increased barrier lifespan.
