The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has issued strict new directives to contractors and concessionaires to ensure the proper installation of Metal Beam Crash Barriers (MBCBs) along national highways. This move comes as part of NHAI’s ongoing efforts to enhance road safety across the country.

In a statement released on Wednesday, NHAI outlined the key directives, emphasizing that the materials supplied for the crash barriers must meet the same specifications as those outlined in the crash test report. Additionally, contractors are required to install the barriers according to the methodology specified by the manufacturer.

The NHAI has further stipulated that contractors must obtain a certificate from the manufacturer confirming that the crash barriers installed at project sites adhere to the prescribed design, standards, and specifications. Furthermore, contractors must ensure that the ground layer beneath the barriers is compacted to the required level for optimal safety and stability.

These guidelines aim to enhance the accountability of contractors and concessionaires, ensuring that the quality of installations meets the highest standards. NHAI believes that these measures will not only improve the quality of national highway projects but also significantly enhance the safety of road users across the country.

By enforcing strict adherence to these specifications, NHAI hopes to prevent accidents and reduce the severity of collisions, ultimately making national highways safer for commuters.
