Description
OBEX MT P4 Terminal is the first terminal system in the world to be successfully tested to prEN1317 Part 7. All test results have been fully validated by AISICO (Notified Body) and thereafter peer reviewed by the world renowned testing facility TRL.
Road Restraint Level: P4
Exit Zone Class: Z2
Displacement Zone Class : D3
Severity Impact: B
Length : 7 m
The advantages of OBE MT P4 are numerous:
- Shock absorbing modular components provide crash cushion performance with no risk of residual hazard
- Fully tested to prEN 1317 Part 7 including impact on transition connection from Guard Rail
- For use in Single or Double-sided applications
- Simple modular components can be pre-assembled for rapid installation
- Overall length minimised to 7m and only 3 posts to be anchored in soil/ pavement
- Flexible anchorage configurations with either driven posts, cast-in sockets or concrete base
- Durable components hot-dipped galvanised
- Modular components can be easily replaced if vehicle impact causes minor damage only
The design of the product has been developed to provide the safest performance to terminate and anchor guardrail in high speed situations. It behaves much like a crash cushion in how it absorbs the energy of vehicle impact with the compression of its unique energy absorbing steel cellular sections. The design reflects a new generation of P4 Terminal that is a departure from conventional systems based on corrugated beam profiles. Such corrugated beam systems have been known to malfunction if installed incorrectly and can present a hazard such as spearing of vehicles.
The different elements of the Obex MT P4 terminal use the principle of a crash cushion and elastic deflection. In the event of an impact, vehicles are braked and redirected thanks to the modular deformation zones. There is no risk of intrusion of components during impact.
The Obex MT P4 terminal can be connected to median barriers, double and triple wave beam, or concrete barriers. The installation can be done on asphalt or on concrete. Obex MT P4 is patented under UK No. 1421308.6.
