When you drive down a busy motorway the last thing you will probably think about is where and how products like the crash barriers in the middle of the road are manufactured. You wouldn’t think that these barriers have been manufactured by using state-of-the-art laser cutting production methods at SSC Laser Cutting.

At SSC Laser Cutting we understand all too well that parts and components that are produced for use within the highways and highways maintenance industry must be produced to the highest safety standards. They must be durable and are produced with longevity in mind. We have the skills and technical understanding to produce high-quality precision laser cut components for use up and down the UK’s motorways and road systems.

When the unfortunate event of a crash on a motorway or highway occurs, there is a less likely possibility of a fatality when there is a high-quality motorway crash barrier in situ. Motorway crash barriers are designed to help prevent cars and vehicles from crossing one side of the carriageway to the other. They are also produced in order to absorb some of the energy created from the impact of a crash if one does occur.

SSC Laser Cutting produce and manufacture components and barrier parts that are directly supplied to the leading manufacturers of road safety barrier systems across the United Kingdom.

We also supply laser cut components that support manufacturers when they produce motorway signage.

Our Laser-Cut Quality Standards

As you can imagine, producing laser cut components and parts for the highways industry means every single part that leaves one of our manufacturing facilitiy, is dispatched to the most rigorous of quality standards.

SSC Laser Cutting is one of the few laser cutting specialists in the United Kingdom to hold ISO 9001:2015 and CE Marking EN 1090-1: 2009+A1: 2011.  Our commitment to quality means that our clients can be assured that their components meet the standards needed for the manufacture of motorway barriers and vehicle restraint systems.

CE Marking is an internationally recognised quality standard, SSC Laser Cutting currently holds CE Marking EN 1090-1: 2009+A1: 2011, which specifically mentions the standards of fabricated steelwork. It is a legal requirement that any part of a fabrication produced from metal meets the necessary structural standards. Combined with ISO 9001:2015 our clients can be assured that SSC Laser Cutting is at the forefront of product quality and safety.
