NEW MASH Sentry Barrier™ Systems from CSP®
CSP® is very proud to now be offering the NEW MASH Sentry Barrier™ Systems in New Zealand - Sentry Barrier™ TL-3 System suitable for side of road and median applications, and the Sentry Barrier™ TL-4 Thrie-Beam System.
These are compliant systems that have been approved by NZ Transport Agency and the Austroads Safety Barrier Assessment Panel (ASBAP) and are the latest products to be added to the ever expanding range of road safety barrier systems from CSP®.
The Sentry Barrier™ TL-3 W-Beam guardrail system, available in roadside and median applications, is designed to contain, redirect and shield vehicles from roadside obstacles and from opposing traffic or dual carriageways.
The Sentry Barrier™ TL-4 Thrie-Beam System offers that next level of protection for heavier vehicles and trucks. The barrier has been designed and tested to meet the evaluation criteria of MASH TL-4 for a longitudinal barrier. This is the current and highest performance testing criteria in line with AS/NZS 3845.1:2015, exceeding the requirements of NCHRP 350 Test Level 4.
| “We are very excited to be able to add the Sentry Barrier™ TL-3 and TL-4 Thrie-Beam Systems to our product offering,” says Neil Watson, Head of CSP®. “The Sentry Barrier driven post system has a narrower footprint, for both the side of road, median and TL-4 Thrie-Beam Systems, and requires no blockout making it fast to install and a very cost effective, reliable system.” |
