Improved-Concrete

The OMNI Improved-Concrete system incorporates OMNI rubber RailGuard panels with precast concrete panels. The steel-framed, steel-reinforced concrete panels are designed to handle heavy highway traffic, as well as heavy truck traffic. The virgin rubber RailGuard panels cushion load, control surface water, and provide electrical insulation. The broom finished surface provides high friction for excellent traction.
