Highway Care says its new end treatment system requires fewer parts than existing products, allowing for speedy installation, low repair costs and lower lifetime costs
1529 Highway Care is now offering double-sided P4 terminal that is specially developed for the UK road network. The Xtension 110 Double-sided P4 Terminal is said to be the only approved double-sided P4 terminal available for use in the UK market.

This system is versatile as it can be used for left hand and right hand applications and also has a number of foundation installation options. The Xtension 110 Double-sided P4 Terminal is a tension based system and is said to be simple and robust. When installed as a driven post system, it also offers a cost-effective solution. The Xtension 110 Double-sided P4 Terminal provides a safe termination for barriers acting as an alternative to conventional double ramped end terminals. Its overall length and low displacement make it particularly suitable for use in restricted sites. The Xtension 110 Double-sided P4 Terminal is tested to EN1317- 4, approved for use on 2309 Highways Agency roads and can be used without a Departure from Standard. Under test, the system proved its capability by redirecting a 1.5tonne vehicle. The impacting vehicle pushes against the impact head smoothly transferring the energy into longitudinal cables which are located behind the system beams. The resistance between the impact head and the cable dissipates the energy during the rearward motion and brings the vehicle to a progressive, controlled halt. The system can be connected directly to W beam barrier systems of N2 containment and W2 working width.

    Rebloc has developed an end-terminal for performance class P2A barriers with an impact severity level A designed specifically for traffic management on construction sites.

    The end terminal has been successfully tested according to ENV 1317-4 and is particularly suitable for use in combination with temporary vehicle restraint systems.

    The company, based in Austria, said that a standout feature of the system is the unanchored setup and the narrow width of only 240mm. The width matches exactly with the width of the connected temporary Rebloc barrier.
