The Novus Water Filled Barrier is a modular temporary barrier for traffic management, roadworks, construction sites, events and pedestrian segregation. Manufactured from UV-resilient medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), each unit is supplied empty for handling and transport, then filled on site to provide ballast and stability.
Each barrier has a 2,000mm working length and an overall length of 2,300mm. The interlocking design allows runs to turn through 90-degree corners without leaving gaps, helping you create a continuous boundary around work areas and restricted-access zones.
Available in red or white, the Novus system can also be used with separate mesh panels, pedestrian gates and vehicle gate components to create a taller site perimeter system.
Key Features
Water-Filled Ballast
Each unit weighs approximately 25kg when empty and 180kg when filled with water, providing a substantial self-weighted temporary barrier.
90° Cornering
The Novus design allows barriers to connect around right-angle corners without leaving gaps between units.
UV-Resilient MDPE
Manufactured from durable, UV-resilient medium-density polyethylene for repeated outdoor use.
Stackable for Transport
Empty units stack for more convenient handling, storage and transport between projects.
Red or White
Choose the colour option to suit your site layout and traffic management requirements.
System Accessories
Compatible mesh panels and gate components are available separately for applications requiring a taller or more enclosed perimeter.
Applications
The Novus Water Filled Barrier is suitable for creating temporary boundaries around roadworks, construction areas, pedestrian routes, public events and site compounds. Its modular layout can be configured for straight runs, corners and enclosed areas.
Where additional height or restricted access is required, the system can be extended with a compatible mesh panel. The barrier and mesh panel are separate products.
Wind test information: The Novus barrier has achieved a MIRA Class A wind test result of approximately 69mph as a single unit. The stated result with a mesh panel fitted is 58.8mph. These are test results for the specified configurations, not a guarantee of performance in every site condition. Consider exposure, layout, fill level and installation when planning the barrier line.

Installation & Site Planning
Position the barriers in the required layout before filling. Connect adjoining units and check the line, corners and access points before putting the system into use. Fill each unit on site to provide ballast. Empty the barriers before moving or stacking them for storage and transport.
For installations where the barrier will remain in place for longer periods, the manufacturer also identifies sand filling as an option. Assess the site conditions and the required barrier configuration before choosing the fill material.
For a taller perimeter, pair the Novus base with the Novus Water Barrier Mesh Extension. The compatible mesh system brings the overall height to approximately 2,150mm. Mesh panels and gate components are sold separately.
