ACO Guide Wall prevents small animals from accessing dangerous roads or highways
ACO Guide Wall is a modular barrier system made from recycled polymer concrete, designed to prevent small animals from entering hazardous areas. Standard 1m straight sections and shaped units accommodate changes in direction and gradient. Integral anti-climb barriers and a front foot area help guide animals safely, suppress vegetation and support earth banks without metal reinforcement.
Features and benefits
Prevents small animals from accessing danger zones with anti-climb barriers
Suppresses vegetation and creates a clear movement path for wildlife
Supports substantial earth banks and can be backfilled to full height
No metal reinforcement, avoiding magnetic field distortion
Non-absorbent, low thermal conductivity surface suitable for amphibians
Low maintenance and minimum 50-year operational life
Accommodates curves and changes in gradient with modular units
Applications
Highways
Nature conservation areas
Mitigation zones
Residential developments
Distribution yards
Industrial estates
Physical attributes
Standard 1m straight lengths with additional units for curves, risers and droppers. Can be backfilled to full height and used to retain substantial earth banks.
Materials
Recycled polymer concrete - no metal reinforcement.
Performance
Minimum operational life of 50 years under normal conditions. Will not corrode or leave harmful residues.
Installation
Includes straight, radius, riser and dropper units for flexible layouts. Can be retained by backfill.
