Highway Guardrail (W-beam, Thrie-beam)
The W-beam and Thrie-beam barrier sections that line interstate, state highway, and county road systems. Roll formed per AASHTO M180.
Highway guardrail (AASHTO M180) is one of the most volume-stable cold roll forming markets: state DOTs and federal road programs buy W-beam (the standard double-wave barrier) and Thrie-beam (the heavier triple-wave) in continuous production runs. Galvanized steel, structural gauge, long lengths, simple but exacting profile geometry.
TEKFAB engineering for this market sits on the Heavy Gauge Structural envelope, with custom multi-pass tooling sized to the W-beam and Thrie-beam corrugation pattern. The line is built for long-length parts and bundle offload, with cutoff tolerance that meets the AASHTO acceptance class.

TEKFAB experience
TEKFAB engineers guardrail production on the Heavy Gauge Structural envelope, with multi-pass tooling sized to the W-beam and Thrie-beam corrugation. We build for long-length parts, bundle offload, and cutoff tolerance that meets the AASHTO M180 acceptance class — for the continuous runs DOT programs demand.
