An invention born from racing

In 1999, while competing in motorsport, Rafaël Galiana observed the serious shortcomings of traditional safety systems: poorly secured tire stacks, lack of impact absorption, dangerous rebounds, and ground detachment. These flaws endangered drivers and complicated track operations.

In response, he developed a radically new alternative: a modular system designed specifically for the demands of motorsports.

A completely rethought approach

From day one, Tecpro Barriers were engineered to combine maximum safety, deployment flexibility, and long-term reliability, built on decisive technical choices:

  • Modular blocks made of high-density polyethylene
    Durable, easy-to-handle, and designed to withstand intensive use
  • Internal impact-absorbing straps
    To progressively cushion impacts and protect both drivers and infrastructure
  • No ground anchoring required
    For faster setup, adaptability to any terrain, and simplified maintenance
  • Quick and customizable installation
    For rapid deployment, secure layout, and custom visual branding

A proven system, constantly evolving

Tested in real-world conditions, the system quickly demonstrated:

  • Superior impact absorption
  • Lower installation costs
  • Unmatched reliability

Since then, it has been protected by several international patents and continues to benefit from ongoing R&D investment.
