Vehicle Crash Barriers - Do You Have Them?

Saturday Evening a Northumbrian Water Vehicle left the road and rolled, thankfully the driver was shaken but unhurt in the event - as you can see from the pictures this was a very close call with the pipe corridor which carries a variety of gases and liquids (Inflammable/Toxic) as well as essential utilities throughout the area. We have gone to a great deal of expense as a company protecting the 2,700 kilometres of pipeline which runs through 350 kilometres of service trench across Teesside from vehicular Impact with and extensive barriers program. However, it's 'Murphy Law' which dictates when and where an RTA will take place!!
