Crash Performance - NCHRP 350 Test Levels 1, 2 and 3 - Redirective, Non-Gating

The family of REACT 350 Systems feactures "smart plastic" cylinders made of high molecular weight, high-density polyethylene (HMW/HDPE) plastic. When impacted within the design capacity specified in NCHRP 350, they typically regain up to 90% of their original shape and capacity without maintenance or repair of major components. The REACT 350 family of crash cushions includes a wide range of units for design speeds from 72 km/h (45 mph) to 113 km/h (70 mph).

The REACT 350 Systems satisfy NCHRP 350, Test Levels 1, 2 and 3 criteria as redirective, non-gating crash cushions. They are designed to attenuate head-on impacts and, together with the side cable anchor systems, safely redirect side angle impacts.

The REACT 350 Systems are available with a self-contained backup or a concrete-mounted backup system. The concrete-mounted backup systems allows the unit to be attached directly to an existing or new concrete backup at the site. The "smart plastic" cylinders are arranged in different configurations to achieve the required design speed capacity and system width for a specific site.

After a typical design impact, the REACT 350 units can be quickly restored by simply overpulling the plastic cylinders and holding them in the extended position. Spare parts are typically not required. Limited exposure to traffic provides for optimum safety for maintenance workers.

Self-restoring and reusable. Withstand a number of impacts without the need for major repairs or parts. Pre-assembled at factory for easy installation - only minor assembly required at site. Minimal maintenance and refurbishment - spare parts typically not required. Low lifecycle cost.
