Key Highways Served
Ideal Fencing Corp installs cable barrier, concrete barrier, and impact attenuator systems on CDOT highway projects across Colorado — from the E-470 widening contracts visible in our project photo library to cable median barrier on I-76 and concrete temporary barrier on Front Range interchange reconstruction. Our Erie headquarters and Colorado Springs Adarand Constructors office provide statewide coverage for CDOT barrier work in all six engineering regions.
Cable Median Barrier on Colorado Interstates
Three-strand cable median barrier is the dominant median barrier system on Colorado's rural interstates — I-70 east of Denver, I-76, I-25 south of Pueblo, and US-50 east of Pueblo all have cable median barrier installed under CDOT Standard Plan M-614 series. We install anchor posts, line posts, cable tensioning hardware, and terminal end treatments for CDOT cable barrier systems. Cable barrier on Colorado interstates requires post installation in soils ranging from sandy loam on the Eastern Plains to expansive clay along the Front Range, and our post design adjusts embedment and backfill for each soil type.
Concrete Barrier and Temporary Barrier on Front Range Projects
Urban Front Range highway construction projects — I-25 express lanes, I-70 corridor reconstruction, and E-470 widening — use temporary precast concrete barrier (PCB) and permanent reinforced concrete median barrier extensively. We install temporary F-shape PCB for work zone delineation and permanent concrete barriers for median separation and bridge approaches. Our E-470 widening project work included bridge railing, concrete barriers, and impact attenuators installed under CDOT contract on one of Colorado's largest recent highway expansion projects.
Impact Attenuators at Interchange Ramp Terminals
CDOT requires MASH-tested impact attenuators at exposed ramp terminals, gore areas, and bridge end treatments across all six engineering regions. We install MASH TL-3 attenuator systems including sand barrel arrays, REACT 350 redirective attenuators, and QuadGuard systems at CDOT interchange locations. Attenuator installation requires precise anchoring to the underlying pavement structure, and we coordinate with CDOT resident engineers on anchor bolt placement drawings for each specific installation.
