The City and Parks Department had a particular problem with a local collector road next to a baseball diamond. The playing field sits below the grade of the road. At this point, the road took a 90° corner, and a barrier was required to protect the children from an out-of-control vehicle.

When the City of Abbotsford looked at all their traditional barrier options, they quickly realized that concrete was too heavy for the slope.

BRIFEN Canada was asked to look at the site for the suitability of using our cable barrier. The length of the installation is a mere 35 meters. After careful consideration we felt that we could help. Our TL4 system was perfect for this application.

BRIFEN chose to use an upright end anchor system. This was done for 2 reasons. The cables are at the proper height right from the start, and we did not want pedestrians tripping over the cables at the anchor.
