Smartraft® is an off-site pre-fabricated, modular concrete foundation to allow for the safe, quick, efficient barrier installation. There is no requirement for pre-site ground testing as off-site testing has proven results.

Foundation depth required for installation of Smartraft® is just 200mm, so problematic services, underground structures and other ground obstructions can all be overcome with this one simple solution.

Smartraft® can be installed in any standard highway ground conditions. On new-build projects the ground can be left 200mm low, ready for installation removing the risk of excavating completely.

On prepared ground, installation outputs of 75m+ per hour can be achieved and is up to 20 times quicker than traditional installation methods, reducing the time spent on-site, the number of mobilisations and traffic management required.

Kemal Bakici - Balfour Beatty

I thought I’d like to put out a BIG WELL DONE to all that have made a fantastic effort over the past few weeks to achieve where we are today on the A1 switch. Fantastic effort and collaboration from all those involved in making the switch go very smoothly and safely. It’s a pleasure to work with direct labour and sub-contractors who really care about safety and quality, and prove we can work in tight potentially dangerous areas by cordoning off their work sites to ensure plant pedestrian interface is maintained at all times and still get the job done on time. You are all a credit to your companies.
