TrafFix Devices Enhances Airport Security with the Water Wall System

Innovative Positive Separation System Delivers Enhanced Safety, Durability, and Flexibility

TrafFix Devices, a leading manufacturer and supplier of traffic control devices and crash attenuation products, highlights the Water Wall, a durable and highly adaptable safety device designed for superior performance that continues to set the standard in temporary positive separation solutions. As a MASH-eligible TL-2 Longitudinal Channelizing Device, the Water-Wall provides essential protection in airport environments. During peak travel times or special events, it helps manage passenger flow and create organized queuing areas. When maintenance or repairs are underway on runways, taxiways, or other airport infrastructure, these longitudinal channelizing devices effectively separate work zones from active areas.

Manufactured from durable, low-density polyethylene plastic, the Water Wall is built for longevity, resisting cracks and breakage even in demanding conditions. Its double-wall knuckle design reinforces hinge points, reducing the risk of structural failure. With a hinge that allows up to 30 degrees of pivoting, the positive separation system can be adjusted to fit various layouts, while a newly introduced corner piece enables 90-degree turns for even greater versatility.

The Water Wall is engineered for efficiency, and includes an 8-inch fill hole with a twist-lock plastic cap, expediting the filling process, and a tamper-resistant offset drain plug that secures or releases in just two and a half turns. A steel connection and keeper pin system ensures secure interlocking between sections, while molded-in forklift and pallet jack slots allow for easy transport and positioning. For added security, the Water Wall is compatible with the Water-Wall chain-link fence attachment, providing an additional layer of protection when necessary.

Designed to meet rigorous safety standards, the Water Wall has been NCHRP-350 tested and passed to MASH TL-1 Barrier Wall, TL-2 Longitudinal Channelizing Device, and TL-3

Barricade. It also seamlessly connects to the SLED end treatment, eliminating the need for additional shielding or flaring, further simplifying deployment.
