Equipment Details
Product Name: Crash Cushion System
Description:
The BRIFEN Wire Rope Gating Terminal (WRGT) interweaves each of the four BRIFEN cables around four anchor posts (Type A, B1, B2, and B3) having an "S" (or "Z") shape cross section and into an angled steel bracket set in a 1220-mm diameter by 914-mm deep concrete foundation. Existing BRIFEN terminals may be retrofitted with the crashworthy design. A retrofit would require replacement of the 15 posts immediately adjacent to each anchor with non-slotted length of need (LON) posts. The four cables would then be woven around each post until reaching the original slotted LON posts where the top cable would be set in the slot in the top of each post. For new installations, the 4-mm thick non-slotted post may be used in place of the original 6-mm thick slotted post throughout the barrier LON. For design purposes, the dynamic deflection of the BRIFEN with 4-mm line posts may be assumed to be 2.5 meters, slightly greater than the test results with the 6-mm thick line posts.
