Installation Guide

How Many Guardrail Posts Can Be Driven Per Minute

Installation rate is what turns a barrier quantity into a programme duration, and it is one of the first questions a contractor asks when planning a run.

The Working Rate

In the general case the pile driver can drive one post every one to two minutes, depending on the condition of the road.

What Changes the Rate

Ground condition is the variable. Soft soil takes the post more readily than compacted or stony ground, so the rate quoted is a general case rather than a guarantee for a specific alignment.

Planning a Run

Post spacing is set by the road authority specification for the barrier being installed. Take the post count from the spacing and the run length, then apply the driving rate to estimate the programme.

Questions on This Topic

How fast can posts be installed?
In the general case, one post every one to two minutes, depending on the condition of the road.
Does ground condition change the rate?
Yes. The rate given is for the general case and depends on the road condition at the position being driven.
How do we work out how many posts we need?
Post spacing comes from the road authority specification for the barrier type. Apply that spacing to the run length to get the post count.
