RAMSHIELD® Median

RamShield Median is a back-to-back w-beam guardrail system providing safe vehicle containment and redirection when impacted from either side of the system.

Designed for narrow medians and the prevention of dangerous head-on collisions, RamShield Median introduces patented technology into the w-beam release mechanism. This results in low deflection and fewer components. The w-beam rail splices of RamShield Median are positioned mid-span between posts, providing ease of access for installation contractors and facilitating rapid assembly.

RAMSHIELD® Median FAQs

What is a roadway median?

The median is the strip of roadway or land that separates opposing directions of traffic on a divided highway or road.

What is the purpose of the median?

The main purpose of the median is to improve safety by reducing the potential for head-on collisions and managing turning movements. 

What is a median safety barrier system?

A median barrier system is designed to provide vehicle containment and redirection when impact from either side of the barrier. These barriers are used in narrow medians to reduce the potential of head-on collisions.

What is the advantage of RamShield Median?

The low dynamic deflection crash test results of RamShield Median make it suitable in narrow medians.

What is the containment level of RamShield Median?

RamShield Median has been crash tested in accordance with MASH TL3 demonstrating containment of a 2270kg pick-up truck travelling at 100km/h and 25 degrees.

What end terminal is used in combination with RamShield Median?

The Gregory Median End Terminal (GMET) is a back-to-back w-beam terminal is designed for direct attachment to RamShield Median w-beam guardrail and reduce the severity of impacts occurring at the end of the RamShield Median guardrail system.

Is a transition required when connecting the GMET to RamShield Median?

No. The system width of the GMET and RamShield Median are identical and feature back-to-back w-beam guardrail connected directly to C-posts.

How are the RamShield Median C-posts installed?

The RamShield median C-posts are driven directly into the ground and do not require concrete.

How is RamShield Median manufactured?

RamShield Median is an all-steel construction. After fabrication the components are hot dip galvanised providing a durable finish.
