Crash Performance - NCHRP 350 Test Level 3

Trinity's Cable Safety System (CASS) helps address the issue of median crossover accidents on highway systems throughout the world. CASS has been extensively crash-tested in the US and Europe. The system offers increased flexibility, designable deflection and a variety of solutions for most roadway applications.

Using C-shaped posts and tensioned cables, CASS is designed to assist in preventing potential head-on collisions by capturing and redirecting errant vehicles that would otherwise traverse the median of a roadway. The specially designed post employs a proprietary wave-shaped slot which works in tandem with strategically positioned cables to increase the system's ability to restrain various types of vehicles. The proprietary shape of the post allows for lower deflections during crash tests by minimizing the length of unsupported cables. Additionally, the widened cable spread works to retain different types of vehicles.

Features & Benefits: Three-cable (pre-stretched) high-tension system. Designable by deflection. No sharp edges or hooks. Wave-shaped slot in post results in lower deflections. Option of NCHRP Report 350 Cable Terminal or non-350 Cable Anchor. Aesthetically pleasing design with no interwoven cables. NCHRP Report 350 Test Level 3 compliant.
			Installation & Repair Advantages: Posts can be driven or placed into steel sleeves (set in soil, asphalt or concrete). Pre-stretched and tensioned cables require no maintenance. Cables provided in convenient pre-assembled 1000' lengths (300 meters). No interwoven cables. Minimal maintenance and quick repair after impact.
