Description
The Sentry Median barrier W-Beam system has been designed and tested to meet the evaluation criteria of MASH Test Level 3 for a longitudinal barrier. This is the current state of the art performance criteria, exceeding the requirements of NCHRP 350 Test Level 3.
The Sentry Median Barrier W-Beam System – Longitudinal System has a conventional ‘C’ shaped post but is shorter, smaller and lighter than public domain versions.
Providing large flexibility and tolerance in system height to accommodate easy transitioning.
Features
- MASH Test Level 3 compliant as a permanent Longitudinal Median Barrier system
- AS3845:2015 compliant and recommended for acceptance by the Austroads Safety Barrier Assessment Panel
- Lesser components, weight and footprint than conventional public domain guardrail systems
- Superior dynamic deflection results compared to public domain systems
- No block out, stiffener or bracket between rail and post connection
- Designed for use with an X-Tensional 350 Median End Terminal
