As a UK Precast Manufacturer, we specialise in producing high quality products for other companies within the UK.
In our 3 years of business, we have developed expertise in a wide range of bespoke concrete projects – and the latest no exception. We are delighted to announce that we are now the UK manufacturer of KarabloK.
KarabloK is a modular precast concrete barrier that can be rapidly deployed to provide protection against vehicle impacts and blasts. It is the only precast concrete barrier system in the world tested and certified for an impact load of 7.2t (16,000lb) at 50mph (80km/h) at 90° impact angle.”
The Robust KarabloK can be used for a variety of purposes:
• Hostile Vehicle Mitigation
o Testing included being hit by a 7200kg vehicle travelling at 80km/h at a 90° angle.
The barrier withstood the impact, stopped the vehicle and remained intact.
• Ballistic and Blast Protection
o Tested and found to be compliant with sections of STANAG 2280, the NATO standard
for ballistic, blast and impact barriers. Testing included: 30mm high explosive rounds
fired from 100m, Milan warhead static blast at 1.5m, NATO 155 warhead static blast
at 1.5m, swingfire warhead static blast at 1.5m and 36kg of high explosive at 1.5m.• Critical National Infrastructure
o As an internal blast wall, KarabloK can be built two or more courses high and has a
four-hour fire wall rating. They can also act as a bund wall to hold large spillages.
• Security
o Bomb proof and vehicle proof, they form an excellent security perimeter for airports,
fuel stations and can be utilised as anti-terrorist protection at large scale public events
such as concerts and markets. KarabloK can also be designed to appear less
imposing by planting or painting.
• Defence
o The KarabloK barrier is a highly effective hostile vehicle mitigation system which,
unlike other HVM’s, offers protection from explosions, direct fire weapon systems and
RPG’s.
As our technology, innovation, resources, team and premises expands, we can turn our expertiseto a variety of projects. If you have a precast concrete project in mind, the CWP team can help youbring your vision to reality!
