Product Details
Nexus Water Filled Barrier
Use the Nexus where a perimeter has to turn corners, branch into T, X or Y junctions or join barriers already on site, and ground fixing is not an option. The 2m working length barrier links to itself and to other barrier types through its jigsaw links, so one ballasted barrier can form the corner, the fork and the straight run.
Linked in T or parallel layouts, the barriers buttress each other against wind, and the system is wind tested. Bolt-on mesh or hoarding panels, sold separately, take the barrier from 0.8m to 2.15m high.
The barrier is supplied on its own. Add SMLC couplers when linking to other barrier types, fill with ballast before fitting any panels, and choose red, white or a Bespoke RAL colour. Red and white are available in any quantity. Bespoke RAL is made to order, with a minimum of 96 barriers and a lead time of 2 to 4 working weeks. For project quantities or a custom shade, speak to our team on 0330 056 4420.
Key Features
- Jigsaw links: Link to other Nexus barriers at 90 degrees and form T, X and Y layouts, so corners, forks and inner compounds come from one barrier type.
- Self-buttressing layouts: T and parallel configurations add wind load resistance using the barriers themselves.
- Self-levelling water ballast: The auto fill level bung stops the fill at the correct level of up to 380L, and the sealed unit retains the ballast.
- Sand fill option: Sand can be used instead of water, which avoids the water disposal step when the barrier is moved.
- Anti-climb windows and top surface: The angled top surface and windows are designed to deter unauthorised access.
- Panel-ready inserts: Symmetrical panel attachment inserts take reversible, bolt-on mesh or hoarding panels.

Application Suitability Guide
The Nexus sits within our range of Chapter 8 and waterfilled barriers and suits runs that need to turn corners, branch or join other barriers.
For reference only, not legal advice. Always carry out your own site risk assessment before use.
| Application | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Site perimeters and internal compounds | Yes | Jigsaw links form corners, forks and square compounds. Install on a flat, level surface. |
| Pedestrian delineation | Yes | Red and white colours help mark walkways and routes. |
| Traffic delineation | Confirm before use | Option 1 adds reflective strips. Follow your traffic management plan and risk assessment. |
| Secure perimeter with mesh or hoarding panels | Yes | Panels are sold separately and take the height to 2.15m. Add ballast before fitting panels. |
| Exposed, windy or sloping sites | Confirm before use | Ask our team for wind calculations for your layout. The barrier needs a flat, level surface. |
| Gates and unsupported areas | Confirm before use | Additional ballast may be needed in unsupported areas such as gates. |
| Events and crowd management | Confirm before use | Confirm suitability against your event plan and risk assessment. |
Set-Up Notes
- Lay out the full run, including any compatible barriers, before filling with ballast.
- Use two competent people to install, with the correct PPE.
- Fill with ballast before fitting panels or accessories.
- Do not move a barrier that contains ballast. Fit panels after filling and remove them before draining.
- Check the water level and the tightness of connecting fasteners regularly.
- Do not stack barriers higher than 3 units for storage or transport.
Compatibility And Accessory Guide

| Evo barriers with mini mesh | Compatible with coupler | Which lugs and links can be used depends on the Evo end and whether the link end faces inward or outward. | Ask our team to confirm the combination. |

Alternative Products To Consider
| Product | Choose It When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Novus Barrier | The run needs corners and straights without T, X or Y junctions | Links to the Nexus, so both can share one run. |
| Evo Stackable Water Filled Barrier | You need a lower barrier at 1m, 1.2m or 1.5m | Joins to the Nexus through a coupler when both are used on one site. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to order with the Nexus water filled barrier?
The barrier is supplied on its own. Add SMLC couplers when linking to other barrier types, mesh or hoarding panels if you need a height of 2.15m, and B1 buttress flags where panels meet at a junction. Call us on 0330 056 4420 and our team can confirm the full list for your layout.
Can the Nexus link to Novus, RB22 and Evo barriers?
Yes. The Novus Barrier links to the Nexus female link at 90 degrees, and the female end of the RB22 barrier nests with the Nexus male link. Evo barriers with mini mesh, Firmus pedestrian barriers and 3.5m mesh panels join using couplers on the jigsaw link or stack lugs. Ask our team to confirm a specific combination before ordering.
How much ballast does the Nexus need and when do I fill it?
Each barrier takes up to 380L of water, filled to the self-levelling bung once the barrier is in position. Fill before fitting panels or accessories, and do not move a barrier that contains ballast. Sand is available as an alternative to water.
How does self-buttressing help with wind?
Linking barriers in T or parallel layouts increases wind load resistance compared with a single straight run, and the system is wind tested. Wind loading depends on the panel type, site exposure and layout, so ask our team for the calculations that apply to your project before specifying.
Can I order the Nexus in white or a custom colour, and is there a minimum order?
Red and white are available in any quantity. Bespoke RAL is made to order, with a minimum of 96 barriers and a lead time of 2 to 4 working weeks from order confirmation. For Bespoke RAL, select the option, enter your RAL code and the product image updates to show the shade. Bespoke RAL is available with or without reflective strips. If you need fewer than 96, or want the exact shade confirmed, speak to our team on 0330 056 4420 before ordering. Browse more Bespoke Products.
What is the difference between Standard and Option 1?
Option 1 adds two reflective strips on the long face, the optional Chapter 8 reflective area. The Standard barrier has none. Size, weight and linking are the same on both. Check your traffic management plan or site requirements to decide whether the strips are needed.
Should I choose the Nexus or the Novus barrier?
The Nexus links to itself at 90 degrees in T, X and Y layouts and buttresses itself against wind. Novus links to the Nexus, so both can sit in the same run. Tell our team about your layout and we can advise which suits it.
