  • Patent number: 8079774
    Abstract: A coupling system for a traffic barricade has at least first and second traffic barrier segments adapted to be coupled in abutting alignment. First and second connectors are movable from a retracted position in upper and lower bolt retraction cavities in the first barrier segment to a second coupled position wherein ends of each of the connectors pass through connecting rod shafts in the second barrier segment and secure abutment of the first and second traffic barrier segments. Hand holes are provided in each segment to enable assemblers to move the connectors from the first to the second position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5131786
    Abstract: This invention relates to a pre-cast concrete traffic barrier element and a method of constructing a traffic barrier using the element on a vertical face of a retaining wall. The barrier element is a profiled reinforced block of concrete having a bottom surface with a longitudinally extending channel therein. The traffic barrier element is supported on the retaining wall with a top surface of the retaining wall being received within the channel. U-shaped anchoring bars project from an interior portion of the traffic barrier element and from the top surface of the retaining wall to form an oval keyway the length of the longitudinal channel. A locking bar arrangement is inserted through the keyway in a locking relationship with the U-shaped anchoring bars. Sealing material between the traffic barrier element and the retaining wall and between the traffic barrier element and the ground adjacent to the retaining wall on the traffic side prevents the leakage of grout and leveling of the barrier element.

  • Patent number: 4961293
    Abstract: A precast, prestressed concrete secondary containment vault comprised of a sloped, watertight bottom unit capable of holding a primary tank's entire contents, a collar unit sealed to the bottom unit by post-tensioned strands, top panels capable of supporting vehicles, a manhole providing access to permit direct inspection of the primary tank, and means for monitoring, ventilating and pumping the vault. Double-wall pipes for connecting the primary tank to external units and for directing any pipe leakage to the bottom unit are disclosed. The disclosed vault permits the use of less expensive, single-wall tanks which may be repaired in the vault or replaced by removing the top panels.
