This RSJ cast in 1200mm Armco post is part of our wide range of high-quality Armco crash barrier components. The cast-in variant is very simple in construction when compared to the bolt down version of this same product. As this product is “cast in” it requires an excavation to be made which can then be backfilled with an appropriate aggregate to secure the post in position.
The 1200mm measurement of this post refers to its total length, once installed a portion of this will be underground, this usually leaves a section of the post between 560mm and 610mm above ground. As this post is “dig in” you cannot install it onto already concreted surfaces, for this application a “bolt down” option should be used.
This P224 post like all of our Armco products is made from high-quality galvanised steel that is highly resistant to corrosion. The post comes pre-drilled ready to accept a single Armco rail. The P224 I-beam design of post is ideal for locations where space is tight as it is very rigid, requiring less space behind it in the event of an impact.
With choices between bolt down, cast in (dig in) z section and RSJ configurations selecting the right post can be daunting. A few considerations can easily help you decide on which system is the most appropriate.
The I-Beam (RSJ) profile Armco post offers improved strength over Z section posts. RSJ posts are ideal for applications where heavier vehicles are present. For Lighter low-speed applications Z-section posts offer plenty of stopping power.
Z-section beams are the post of choice for those who have budget restrictions, as they offer a significant cost saving over their RSJ Counterparts whilst still delivering excellent vehicle restraint performance.
More costly to purchase but generally cheaper to install. Requires a good solid foundation to be installed into such as an existing thick concrete pad. This is the best option for multi-story car parks.
Cheaper to purchase, but requires excavations to install which can add to installation costs. This option is perfect for adding barriers on grassed verges or areas where there is no existing concrete foundation.
Choose From A wide range of beams in different lengths and colours. All are galvanised for extra durability and corrosion resistance.
