Professional Filling for Safety & Security Barriers

Water-filled barriers are only effective when they are properly ballasted. We coordinate with site managers and security teams to provide:

Traffic Barricade Filling

  • We provide high-volume water delivery for interlocking plastic traffic barricades (LCDs). Our precision filling ensures even weight distribution, providing the stability needed for street closures, marathons, and high-traffic event perimeters.

Safety Water Barrels & Impact Attenuators

  • Keep your construction zones and event entrances compliant. We fill safety barrels to meet municipal regulations and Department of Transportation safety standards for impact absorption.

Crowd Control & Pedestrian Barriers

  • For large-scale gatherings like concerts or protests, we fill heavy-duty ballast containers that prevent crowd-control fencing from being moved or overturned, maintaining the integrity of your security lines.

The Gasaway Maintenance Company Advantage: Efficient Set-Up & Tear-Down

In the fast-moving world of event production, timing is everything. Our logistics team ensures your safety equipment is operational before the first guest arrives.

  • 6,000-Gallon Stainless Steel Tankers: Our high-capacity fleet allows us to fill hundreds of barricades in a single trip, significantly reducing your set-up time.

  • 650-Foot Hose Capability: We don’t need to drive over curbs or landscaping to reach your barriers. Our long-reach hoses allow us to fill barricades from the street, protecting the venue’s turf and pavement.

  • Direct Event Coordination: Our experienced drivers work alongside your event staff or security company to ensure every barrel and barricade is filled according to your site map.

  • Fresh Water: We use clean municipal water. This prevents the stagnant water odors and sediment buildup that can occur with untreated water, making the tear-down process cleaner and easier for your crew.

FAQs

How much water is needed for a standard traffic barricade?

Most standard longitudinal channelizing devices (LCDs) hold between 50 and 100 gallons of water, depending on the model. Our tankers can easily handle large quantities for major street closures.

Can you fill barricades on short notice for emergency closures?

Yes. We offer quick response dispatch for emergency traffic control and municipal safety needs throughout the Chicagoland area.

Do you help with draining the barricades after the event?

While we specialize in bulk delivery and filling, we can discuss custom logistics for large-scale removals. Contact us for a specialized quote.
