Equipment Details
Product Name: REGENT-C
Description:
The REGENT-C is a non-energy absorbing w-beam terminal installed with a straight flare and offset 1.2 meters from the barrier proper at the end of its 11.43 m length. The terminal uses modified w-beam panels containing engineered slots and includes a 19-mm diameter 6 x 9 wire rope nested into the traffic-face of the wbeam. The modified rail elements significantly reduce the column strength of the system, allowing it to collapse in an end-on hit. The nested cable increases the tensile strength of the rail to provide redirection for a side impact beyond post 3, the beginning of the terminal length of need. The REGENT-C uses a standard strut and cable end anchorage and seven 150 mm x 200 mm x 1830 mm weakened wood posts to support the rail.
