Safe Barriers has recently completed a series of full scale MASH16 TL-3 and TL-4 crash tests using the RoadLoc removable anchor. In this crash testing program our objective was to achieve lower deflections for our Anchored Temporary Steel Defender Barrier 100LDS, and continue to validate our RoadLoc anchor in dynamic crash testing… this time in both asphalt and concrete.
Using varying anchor spacing, and the RoadLoc M24-330 or RoadLoc M24-450 anchors in asphalt, and the RoadLoc M24-180 anchor in concrete, tested deflections for the Defender Barrier:
- RoadLoc in asphalt: TL-3 deflections of 5″ (127mm) and 23″ (584mm)
- RoadLoc in concrete: TL-3 deflection of 23″ (584mm) and TL-4 deflection of 27″ (686mm)
All tests fully compliant with MASH16 test requirements.
Defender Barrier achieves these low deflections without having to bolt the connection between barriers or add cumbersome additional barrier sections to the top of the barrier.
