ASBAP approves HammerBeam

HammerBeam Bridge & Culvert Barrier, compliant with MASH TL3 has been recommended for acceptance by the Austroads Safety Barrier Safety Panel (ASBAP).

HammerBeam combines the strength of thrie-beam guardrail with the yielding behaviour of the RamShield W-Beam post.

The RamShield post is designed to collapse upon impact distinguishing it from heavier, rigid post systems which become problematic when attached to concrete structures. The yielding performance of the RamShield post reduces forces transferred to the elevated structure preventing damage and facilitating ease of repair.

NSW Sales Manager, Mitchell Seal comments, ‘HammerBeam may be installed with posts secured to the side of the elevated concrete structure maximising usable bridge and culvert width, reducing the potential for centreline crowding. Alternately, posts on baseplates are available, secured to the top of the structure at sites where access to the side of the structure may be restrictive.

In both configurations, impact assessment has been performed with HammerBeam positioned behind a 200mm high hob.’
