METALESA manufactures, supplies and installs metal parapets with various levels of containment. These are metal safety barriers designed to be installed as safety systems on bridges or viaducts.

Our metal parapets have passed full-scale crash tests based on the European standard UNE EN 1317 and have demonstrated excellent performance parameters.

The equivalence between mechanical and chemical anchoring systems has been demonstrated by the appropriate tests carried out in an accredited laboratory. This means we can offer a full range of solutions adapted to the structure where the containment system is to be installed.

Our H2 and H3 parapets are versatile and can transform from one into another with very simple operations.

METALESA manufactures, supplies and installs a transition piece designed to connect the ends of its META13 and META16 metal parapets to a concrete barrier.

This transition piece has passed the full-scale TB51 crash test based on the French Standard NF 058 (Marque NF – Equipaments de la route) and European Standard PNE-prEN 1317-4. This test was carried out in the French laboratory TRANSPOLIS having met all acceptance criteria.

In the event of an impact, the transition piece works as a conventional metal barrier system, properly containing and redirecting the vehicle.

METALESA markets and installs the OBEX brand of terminals for parapets and metal barriers. These metal devices have been approved through full-scale tests pursuant to EN 1317 and prestandard prEN 1317-7. Its objective is to be able to install a maximum security element at the beginning or end of the parapet and metal barrier sections.

METALESA manufactures, supplies and installs PXP mix parapets to be installed on concrete walls of various sizes and geometries. Their main function is to prevent vehicles possibly overturning by making the barrier assembly withstand greater loads.

Our various urban parapet models are a great solution for urban areas with speed restrictions of up to 50km/h. They can also be used on urban bridges that are less than 30 metres long.

In recent years we have specialised in designing, manufacturing and installing metal imposts and cornices using multiple designs and materials. In certain infrastructures they are applied as the regular solution for water, gas, electricity and telecommunications conduits on the bridge, or for channelling rainwater.

METALESA manufactures, supplies and installs metal cowls that cover the concrete barrier to ensure continuity of protection for vehicles at points where the longitudinal expansion of the infrastructure causes the prefabricated concrete parts to separate.

The cowls are placed on the separation point between two adjacent segments of the concrete barrier, anchoring each side to a piece. The anchoring system has been designed to allow free expansion of the materials.

We manufacture different models of cowl depending on the geometry of the concrete barrier.
