In Grupo ITM, we utilize various structural design standards, referencing national regulations and international standards for our projects. Some of the standards we use for design and construction include IBC, ASCE, UBC, AISC, ANSI, AGIES, and AASHTO. For manufacturing, we comply with AWS, ASTM A123/A123m, EN 1317-5, and NACE, among others.
Provides both traffic delineation and protection in case of loss of vehicle control. Metal barriers in road projects around the world prove to be the most advanced and efficient solution for road safety by absorbing the impact of the vehicle and guiding it in the direction of traffic flow.
Guardrails are elements of a bridge structure that are designed to meet the criteria established in the AASHTO LRFD 2010 specification (1) for the selection of vehicular bridge guardrail systems.
The resistance a guardrail should have is a function of the daily traffic, the proportion of heavy vehicles in the total traffic, and the maximum traffic speed.
They are designed to perfectly support heavy traffic, as well as blows and impacts. They are useful for delimiting avenues, parking lots, lane separations, junctions, bicycle lanes, etc. Our metal buoys have four fastening eyelets and are finished in hot-dip galvanized and/or electrostatic paint for long life.
We cover all stages, from the design and calculation of structures, manufacturing, foundation, and installation of road signs, to organizing and regulating vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This includes regulatory, preventive, informative, restrictive, warning, and temporary traffic control.
From the technical requirements, as well as the customer's specifications, we seek the best solution for all possible variables: the material of the structure, the placement of the signs, the structure's physical characteristics, its adaptation to the terrain, and its relationship with existing services and/or elements.
We offer constructive solutions with an excellent cost-benefit that adapt to the requirements requested by the customer and demanded by the corresponding national and international regulations.
The main structural characteristics for metal pedestrian walkways are resistance, rigidity, and ductility. They must efficiently withstand different load conditions and possess hardness to handle loads acting in various directions, both vertical and horizontal.
In addition to the pre-designed structures, we offer customization of supports (poles, short or long brackets, gantry-type structures) based on customer needs.
The engineering applied in the structural design, the use of quality materials, and the utilization of technology in manufacturing processes offer the assurance of product support in the environmental conditions to which they are exposed.
We adapt to each space and design according to the customer's requirements and the use of the guardhouses, such as: entrance control, security booths, toll booths on highways, among others.
