Description


The system has been tested to the guidelines in NCHRP 350 for a non-gating, re-directive guardrail end treatment. When correctly installed and maintained, the system is capable of stopping, containing, or re-directing an errant vehicle in a safe manner under NCHRP 350 impact conditions.

The X-TENSION 350 Guardrail End Terminal is a fully re-directive, non-gating guardrail terminal end. The unique X-TENSION 350 technology is a tension based solution rather than compression based. It offers exceptional vehicle control and energy absorbing capabilities in head on impacts, where the energy is absorbed with resistance at the impact head rather than being transferred down the rail as occurs with other systems. Even head on, high angle (15°during testing) impacts on the nose resulted in the vehicle being redirected and controlled.

Utilising the X-Tension 350 Terminal End; upon impact by an errant vehicle, the impact head travels downstream and the cables are forced through the locking pin to effectively absorb the kinetic energy of the impact and the vehicle is brought to a safe controlled stop.

Merger of Australian Construction Products and Safe Direction

We are delighted to announce the merger of Safe Direction Pty Ltd and Australian Construction Products Pty Ltd (ACP).
On 1 May 2023 Jaybro, Australia’s leading supplier to the civil construction and infrastructure sector, and owner of ACP, purchased 100% of the share capital of Safe Direction. Under Jaybro’s ownership the two businesses will be merged to form Australia’s preeminent company manufacturing and supplying vehicle barrier systems.

A compelling motivation for the merger is the value created for our customers from combining the collective resources and knowledge of the two companies. Notably there will be significant broadening of the product range and enhancement to distribution reach and capacity. There will be transitionary steps as the two businesses assemble under the one entity, Safe Direction. Part of this transition includes the consolidation of the products and services offered by the merged business into a single web domain www.safedirection.com.au

We trust that this merger will provide increased value to you and we look forward to the opportunity to be of assistance.
