Race Track Safety Systems In North America & Europe

If you own a race track, one of your primary concerns is likely protecting the safety of both your drivers and your spectators. Smith can assist you with that goal. We’re a premier fencing company and we install top-of-the-line race track safety systems at tracks across North America and Europe.

All Types of Race Track Fencing

At Smith, we’re proud to be a full-service installer of race track fencing. No matter what type of race track fence you require, we can skillfully handle the project. We offer:

SAFER barrier.

When choosing a crash barrier company, it’s important to select a team that works with top-quality products. That won’t be a concern with Smith. We’re pleased to manufacture and install SAFER Barrier, a revolutionary crash barrier system specially designed to withstand high impacts. SAFER (short for “Steel and Foam Energy Reduction”) Barrier incorporates 3/16-inch steel for outstanding durability and foam-block backing for remarkable kinetic energy absorption. In the event of a crash, SAFER Barrier’s foam-block backing will absorb the car’s kinetic energy and prevent it from bouncing back, thereby preventing further damage and lowering the risk of injury.

We install crash fencing at permanent race tracks and temporary road and street courses. At permanent tracks, we can even handle installing the foundation for a crash fence substructure using concrete pillars, H piles, or modifications to an existing foundation. When we install a temporary race track fence, we’ll also remove the fence and any owner-supplied assets — like concrete barriers, tire pallets, and pedestrian crossover bridges — once the event is over. And, in either case, we can supply a construction response team to repair any damage sustained during the course of a race.

Spectator fencing.

We install spectator fencing in both permanent and temporary configurations. Not only will our spectator fencing keep non-paying individuals from entering your race — it will also help you control crowds and reduce the risk of injuries to paying guests.

How Can We Improve Safety at Your Track?

At Smith, we offer a wide array of services designed to improve racing safety, both on and off the track. We can install:

Crash barriers — We’re proud to install SAFER Barrier crash systems, which use steel and foam-block backing to withstand high impacts and prevent bounce-back crashes. When compared to plastic barriers, SAFER Barrier is more efficient, durable, and versatile.
Crash fencing — We offer both permanent and temporary crash fencing, and we can even update existing crash fencing to ensure compliance with new safety requirements. We’ll take care of installing all of the necessary steel elements, cabling, mesh, and other component parts.
Spectator fencing — We offer spectator fencing to help control crowds, protect guests from injury, and keep non-paying individuals from entering an event.
