MORAINE, Ohio, Feb. 18, 2025 — Building Composites LLC, which manufactures an innovative building skin system that can reduce exterior construction times by as much as 33%, is pleased to announce an exclusive strategic partnership with Asynt Solutions in the manufacturing of composite road barriers: a new traffic safety solution ideal for highway and construction zones. This collaboration marks the first large-scale production of temporary traffic barrier systems, the Ape Barrier™ system, made of composite materials that offer a lighter, safer and more sustainable alternative than traditional concrete barriers.

The Ape Barrier, which is the only composite barrier system with a pending patent, is a revolutionary longitudinal traffic barrier that meets MASH TL-3 standards. Unlike concrete barriers, which are heavy and brittle, these composite-based barriers are durable, easy to install, and weigh only 10% of traditional concrete barriers. That allows transport vehicles to carry up to 87% more barriers per load to construction sites, compared to traditional systems — significantly reducing logistical costs and increasing operational efficiency.

As a result, the road barriers directly reduce transportation fuel consumption and air pollutants, contributing to an 87% reduction in carbon emissions.

“We truly believe in the value proposition of this product,” said Andrew Elliot, chief revenue officer at Building Composites LLC. “This is the future of highway construction and traffic safety. Being able to remove thousands of concrete barriers that are polluting to manufacture and replacing them with a more sustainable solution is an amazing initiative to be a part of.”

These composite road barriers are not affected by salt and de-icing chemicals and will last 20 to 25 years; concrete barriers last on average 7 to 8 years.

“The performance of these barriers has been pretty phenomenal compared to other products on the market,” said Archie Scott III, CEO and founder of Asynt Solutions. “Therefore, it was very important to us to find somebody that we could trust to build a quality product sustainably and in very high volumes. Knowing that we are able to create something that not only meets the highest-quality standards but also minimizes our environmental footprint is a great feeling. I’m ecstatic to be in a long-term agreement with them.”

The Ape Barriers are approved by numerous state DOTs and in regions of Canada. These barriers are currently active on several ongoing highway projects.
