Hand Rails

Where a Headwall is situated within the Highway Boundary or on a steep embankment Hand Rails should be fitted across the top and in some cases down the Wingwalls.  We are able to supply our Headwalls either fitted with the Hand Rails or with fixings cast into the structure for you to fit your own.  Where the embankment slopes directly down to the top of the headwall a handrail must be provided either along the headwall parapet or between the slope face and the headwall. Althon can provide a "Kee Klamp" handrail just across the top or across the top and down the Wingwalls of the Headwall if required.  Alternatively we can just supply the fixings for the "Kee Klamp" handrail for the contractor to fix on site, or if a different type of Handrail is required again we can either provide the Headwall complete with the Handrail or just the fixings.
