Road Management Solutions

The ABSORB 350® system is a water filled non directive, gating crash cushion that is approved to NCHRP Test Level 2 (70km/h) and Test Level 3 (100km/h).

The system can be attached to permanent or temporary (concrete or steel) barriers without the need to anchor the system to the roadway surface. At 610mm wide, it is ideal for narrow areas where road and work space is limited. It can be used at construction work zones, exits, wide medians, edge of road locations and any site where it is desirable for the post impact trajectories to be on the back side of the system.

The lightweight modular design makes it easy to transport and install. It is easy to maintain and post impact clean up is simple. The ABSORB 350® is an excellent cost effective alternative that helps you treat more sites with fewer dollars.
