Emergency Barricades

What This Service Involves

When a road washout, sinkhole, or structural failure threatens public safety, physical barricades must be in place before anyone approaches. Our crews deliver and position Type III barricades, delineators, and signage to close affected areas per MUTCD standards. Placements are documented and can remain in service until permanent repairs are complete. We restock, reposition, and remove barricades on your schedule as conditions change.
