Pursuant to
MASH
“Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance of Highway Safety
Features”, Trinity Highway contracts with FHWA approved testing facilities to perform and
evaluate crash tests to prepare a crash test results report. Trinity Highway is then able to submit
a Request for Federal Aid Reimbursement of Safety Hardware Devices to the FHWA for review.
The QuadGuard
®
M10 Wide has been deemed eligible by FHWA as meeting the requirements
and guidelines of MASH. These tests evaluate product performance defined by AASHTO
involving lightweight cars (approx. 2420 lb. [1100 kg]) and full size pickup trucks (approx. 5000
lb. [2270 kg]). A product can be certified for multiple Test Levels. The QuadGuard
®
M10 Wide is
certified to the Test Level(s) as shown below:
Test Level 3:
62 mph [100 kph]
These AASHTO directed tests are not intended to represent the performance of systems
when impacted by every vehicle type or every impact condition existing on the roadway.
This system is tested only to the test matrix criteria of MASH as approved by FHWA.
Trinity Highway expressly disclaims any warranty or liability for injury or damage to persons or
property resulting from any impact, collision or harmful contact with products, other vehicles, or
nearby
hazards or objects by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the products were
assembled in consultation with Trinity Highway or by third parties.
The QuadGuard
®
Elite M10 Wide is intended to be assembled, delineated, and maintained within
specific state and federal guidelines. It is important for the highway authority specifying the use
of a highway product to select the most appropriate product configuration for site specifications.
The customer should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the product. Careful
evaluation of site layout, traffic speed/type, direction, and visibility are some of the elements that
require evaluation by the highway authority in the selection of a highway product. For example,
curbs could cause an untested effect on an impacting vehicle.
After an impact occurs, the debris from the impact should be removed from the area immediately
and the specified highway product should be evaluated and restored to its original specified
condition or replaced as the highway authority determines as soon as possible.
