QUADGUARD CZ

ROAD BARRIER CRASH CUSHION

The QuadGuard Road Barrier Crash Cushion system is a highly efficient, redirective, non-gating crash cushion. It consists of crushable, energy-absorbing cartridges surrounded by a framework of panels. Its modular design allows the System length to be tailored to the design speed of a site. TL3 rated crash cushion suitable for protecting hazards up to 915mm wide in a 100 kph zone.

QuadGuard Road Barrier Crash Cushion Systems telescope rearward and progressively crush the cartridges to absorb the energy of impact. When impacted from the side, the QuadGuard System safely redirects the errant vehicle back toward its original path without gating. Quadguards are a standalone end treatment, but also have various transitions are available for concrete and steel barriers if required.

The CZ Road Barrier Crash Cushion system is designed for temporary situation; with an inbuilt steel plate allowing for rapid installation can also be pinned directly into asphalt without the need for a concrete pad.

The new family of QuadGuard crash cushions offers the latest technology for shielding hazards 610 to 3048 mm (2′ to 10′). Each Quadguard System consists of crushable, energy-absorbing cartridges surrounded by a framework of Energy’s exclusive steel
Quad-Beam™ panels. These new crash cushions redefine NCHRP 350, Test Level 3 performance for redirective, non-gating attenuators. The QuadGuard Systems have successfully passed the complete
NCHRP 350, Test Level 3 test matrix with both the light car and high center-of-gravity pickup truck at speeds up to 100 km/h (62 mph) at angles up to 20°. Higher speed units are available.
During head-on impacts, the QuadGuard Systems telescope rearward and crush the cartridges to absorb the energy of impact. When impacted from the side, the QuadGuard Systems safely redirect the errant vehicle back toward its original travel path without allowing gating.
