däcksvägg

Däcksvägg, a Swedish term, translates to "tire wall" or "tire barrier." It refers to a structure constructed from used tires, often stacked and secured, to create a protective barrier. These barriers are commonly employed in various applications, including motor racing circuits to absorb the impact of vehicles that go off track. The elasticity and energy-absorbing properties of tires make them effective at decelerating vehicles and reducing the risk of serious damage or injury.

Beyond motorsport, däcksväggs can also be found in temporary event areas, construction sites, or as protective measures around sensitive equipment or infrastructure. Their construction is relatively simple, often involving interlocking or interlocking the tires to create a stable wall. The number of tires used and the method of securing them depend on the specific requirements of the application and the anticipated impact forces. While effective, their appearance is often considered utilitarian rather than aesthetic. Disposal and recycling of used tires are significant environmental concerns, and repurposing them into däcksväggs offers one method of extending their lifespan and utility.
