Thank you all. I was trying to find ways to justify if anchors can be omitted for cost saving purposes (owner's request). It appears that the w-beam guardrails do not come without some type of anchoring system, i.e. concrete block or post system. Thank you for your input.
Can a W-beam metal guardrail be installed without the end anchorage (concrete block) for a low speed (10 mph) road? The purpose of the guardrail is to protect vehicle from falling off a drop off and lands onto a fuel tank.
