MASH Compliant Solutions for Roads, Bridges & Culverts
RAMSHIELD® is Australia's leading manufacturer of Guardrails & Road Safety Barriers
Our MASH Compliant Product Range
The underlying philosophy in the development of MASH guidelines is that of “worst practical conditions.” When selecting test parameters, such as the test vehicle, impact speed and angle combination, point of impact, test matrix, etc., every effort is made to specify the worst, or most critical, conditions.
Road Safety Barriers
Providing a forgiving roadside environment reduces the consequences for vehicles leaving the safe, travelled way. Hazards such as trees, utility poles and embankments are often located adjacent to roadways and relocating them is often impractical. In these instances, shielding with a longitudinal RamShield® safety barrier is the most appropriate solution.
Bridge & Culvert Barriers
Unlike road safety barriers that feature posts driven into the ground, a bridge or culvert barrier is specifically evaluated for installation on the edge of an elevated structure. Impact performance should consider the behaviour of the test vehicle as the barrier deflects beyond the elevated structure and any potential damage caused to the bridge or culvert following a vehicle impact.
