PRODUCT DETAILS

Built for real work zones where visibility, durability, and fast deployment matter.

The Guardsafe 36 is a durable, water-fillable plastic barricade designed to create highly visible separation in temporary traffic control, construction, checkpoint, crowd-control, data center, and access-control applications. Its rotationally molded polyethylene construction is built for repeated field use, while its pin-connected design allows crews to create continuous straight runs, controlled turns, and flexible site layouts without special hardware.

Proven on Data Center Construction Sites

The Guardsafe 36 has become a proven choice for large-scale data center construction sites where speed, visibility, durability, and layout flexibility matter. From phased campus builds to high-traffic access points, utility work zones, laydown yards, pedestrian walkways, and temporary internal traffic routes, Guardsafe 36 barricades help contractors define work areas, guide site traffic, control access points, and adjust layouts as fast-moving projects evolve.

Big sites need simple visual rules. Guardsafe 36 barricades are available in custom colors to help contractors create clear site zones — such as high-visibility green for pedestrian walkways and orange for traffic routes, work zones, or restricted areas.

Connected 90-Degree Turns Without a Separate Corner Piece

Data center construction sites rarely move in straight lines. The Guardsafe 36 is designed to stay connected through controlled turns up to 90 degrees using the rotationally molded plastic pin included with each barricade. That means crews can create corners, access points, and changing site layouts without buying separate corner pieces, special adapters, or added connection hardware.

Compatible with Guardsafe 42P

The Guardsafe 36 is compatible with the Guardsafe 42P, allowing crews to maintain a continuous connected line when a site calls for both 36-inch and 42-inch barricade sections. Each Guardsafe 36 and Guardsafe 42P includes a separate rotationally molded plastic pin, so mixed-height layouts can be connected without extra hardware, special adapters, or added connection kits.

This gives contractors the flexibility to use taller Guardsafe 42P units in areas where additional height or visibility is preferred, while continuing the connected run with Guardsafe 36 barricades where a lower-profile unit is the better fit. Both the Guardsafe 36 and Guardsafe 42P can accept fencing, giving crews more flexibility when defining pedestrian walkways, restricted areas, perimeter lines, or changing site layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water-Filled Barricades

Contractors, distributors, engineers, and project managers regularly ask these questions when selecting water-filled barricades for traffic control, pedestrian routing, and large construction projects.

Choosing the right water-filled barricade matters. Whether you are managing a road project, a data center build, a utility job, a pedestrian walkway, or a temporary access route, the details make a difference. Here are the questions contractors, distributors, and project teams commonly ask about Guardsafe 36 barricades.

What is a water-filled barricade?

A water-filled barricade is a temporary traffic safety device used to separate vehicles, pedestrians, work zones, restricted areas, and active construction spaces. The barricade is lightweight when empty for easier shipping and placement, then filled with water on site to add ballast, stability, and visibility.

What is Guardsafe 36?

Guardsafe 36 is a rotationally molded, water-filled plastic barricade manufactured by Remcon Plastics. It is designed for temporary traffic control, jobsite safety, pedestrian routing, access control, and large construction projects where durability, visibility, and fast deployment matter.

Is Guardsafe 36 MASH compliant?

Guardsafe 36 is FHWA eligible under MASH TL-1 as a Longitudinal Channelizing Device. It has also successfully passed MASH TL-2 crash testing as a Longitudinal Channelizing Device and is awaiting FHWA work zone eligibility documentation for that test level. To learn more about what MASH means for water-filled barricades and Longitudinal Channelizing Devices, read our What Does MASH Mean for Water-Filled Barricades? article.

What is a Longitudinal Channelizing Device?

A Longitudinal Channelizing Device, often called an LCD, is a connected line of channelizing devices used to guide traffic, separate work areas, and create a continuous visual boundary. Guardsafe 36 is designed to be used as a connected water-filled barricade system for these applications.

What is the difference between a barricade and a barrier?

In traffic safety, the terms “barricade” and “barrier” are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are not always technically the same. Guardsafe 36 is best described as a water-filled barricade or Longitudinal Channelizing Device used to create visible separation and channelization in temporary traffic control and jobsite environments. To learn more about the terminology differences between barriers, barricades, and Longitudinal Channelizing Devices, read our Barrier vs Barricade vs Longitudinal Channelizing Device article.

What is the difference between rotationally molded and blow molded barricades?

Rotational molding creates hollow plastic products by slowly rotating a mold while plastic material is heated and formed against the mold walls. This process is well suited for large, durable products like water-filled barricades. Blow molding uses air pressure to form plastic inside a mold and can create seams or weld lines depending on the product design. Remcon uses rotational molding for Guardsafe barricades because it supports strong, durable construction for demanding jobsite use. To learn more about the differences between rotational molding and blow molding, read our Rotational Molding vs Blow Molding article.

Why does rotational molding matter for water-filled barricades?

Water-filled barricades are handled, moved, filled, drained, stacked, shipped, and redeployed in tough environments. Rotational molding allows Remcon to produce robust plastic barricades with the strength and durability needed for repeated jobsite use.

Can Guardsafe 36 barricades turn corners?

Yes. Guardsafe 36 barricades can pivot up to approximately 90 degrees using the included molded plastic connection pin. This allows contractors to create curved runs, angled layouts, and directional changes without requiring a separate corner piece.

Does Guardsafe 36 require a separate corner piece?

No. Guardsafe 36 can create turns using its molded end connection points and the included molded plastic pin. This helps simplify layouts on sites where barricade runs need to follow roads, entrances, curves, corners, staging areas, or changing construction phases.

Does Guardsafe 36 come with a connection pin?

Yes. Each Guardsafe 36 barricade ships with one separate molded plastic connection pin. The pin is used to connect adjacent barricades through the molded end connection points.

Can Guardsafe 36 connect with Guardsafe 42P?

Yes. Guardsafe 36 is compatible with Guardsafe 42P. The shared molded connection system allows mixed-height barricade runs where the jobsite requires both products.

Can Guardsafe 36 accept fencing?

Yes. Guardsafe 36 can be used with fence topper options for applications where additional height, pedestrian separation, site security, or access control is needed.
