| In Case You Missed it… Here’s a run down of the year so far at Melba Swintex |
|
With fantastic new products, stunning lead times and standard items constantly replenished and kept in stock, it’s no wonder we are so busy. We therefore should look back on the year so far to see where the time has gone.
|
 |
January
Precisely 12 months from the its launch in 2015, the Tuff Trench was supplied with a bonus feature – The New Anti-Slip Rubber Pads that can be securely fixed to the underside of the Tuff Trench to prevent movement under windy conditions. |
| February
During February, the New Tuff Foot was released onto the Traffic Management market. The stylistic design supplies a hefty 10kgs to each barrier, resulting in greater wind resistance on the Melba Swintex Barrier range. |
 |
 |
March
The Postman system made its way onto our customer’s doorsteps. The system has proved to be a great success due to increasing demand & demanding lead times on the market. The Postman takes the current temporary barrier system within utility works, and updates it by implementing a range of innovative features & increasing its strength and durability. |
| April
We caught a short flight over to Amsterdam for a week to showcase at the Intertraffic Exhibition. This event allowed us to network into areas we had previously never ventured, and opened up doors to new opportunities, and friendships. This also allowed us to speak to consumers one-to-one and get feedback on our services.

May
The Fantastic Four was born with the addition to the Barrier Foot family with the New Tuff-AT Foot. This great new foot satisfies both the needs of extra weight, and reducing the risk of a trip hazard when on site. The foot also has a little trick up its sleeve – the possibility to emboss with corporate branding, putting your name in the spotlight. |
| June
‘You’re my Wonderwall’ was the phrase that was stuck in the heads of everyone here in the office. The WonderWall™ Barrier was released once again due to increasing interest and demanding lead times. The product has been a huge success and continues to impress. |

Traffic Barriers – a weighty issue.
The Road Rock is primarily designed to be the ballast for our range of Traffic Barriers and fits the Gate, Master, Vision, Olympic and Tuff Barriers. Using two
Road Rocks per traffic barrier, or one when the barriers are in a boxed formation will make the barrier pass Class B Wind Speed Legislation (this is now mandatory in Scotland where barriers are left unattended for over 24 hours).
However the Road Rock has a few surprises up its sleeve…
The Road Rock links to itself using a hook and tail connection similar to that seen on the Road Runner , this makes it possible to create a continuous run of the heavy duty linear traffic barriers.
Cylinder Housing.
The Road Rock also takes the Cylinder and Ariane and will twist lock into the top making a highly visible linear traffic barriers.

Wind Speeds.
The original concept for the Road Rock was all down to wind. Tests had shown that a minimum of 30Kg was needed for a barrier to withstand Class B Wind Speeds (17.6 m/s). ‘Safety at Street Works and Road Works – ACOP 2015’ states that all traffic barriers in Scotland that are unattended for a period of 24 hours or more, need to be capable of withstanding winds of Class B. At 15Kgs each, the Road Rock is the first ever product which provides the precise weight needed, every time, to withstand these wind speeds
