MashFlex

Wire Rope Safety Barrier

7.0   MashFlex Maintenance

MashFlex is a low maintenance roadside safety barrier. 
Except for repairs due to impacts, there is virtually no 
maintenance required for the system. It is recommended 
that regular drive-by inspections be performed to ensure 
the following;
1.   Post caps have not dislodged from terminal posts. 

Delineation stickers are attached to the post caps 
and a loss of numerous caps could result in poor 
delineation.

2.   Debris has not accumulated around the system. A 

clear zone, free of hazards should exist immediately 
behind the fence to accommodate for the expected 
dynamic deflection.

3.   Safety check ropes should be secured to the anchor - 

Standard Terminal only. Refer WR-MF-55.

4.   Ropes have not dislodged from the posts as a result of 

minor impacts.

7.1   Cable Tension

MashFlex is supplied with pre-stretched wire rope. The 
pre-stretching process removes the constructional stretch 
in the wires as they ‘bed-down’. Wire rope is essentially an 
elastic member and will not require retensioning after 
most impacts. For fences subjected to regular vehicle 
impacts or large seasonal temperature variations, it may 
be necessary to evaluate the rope tension annually. This 
can be undertaken using the FlexFence Tension Unit.

7.2   Bush Fire Damage 

1

The performance of galvanized coatings when subjected 
to bushfire depends on a number of factors, such as flame 
duration, intensity and the characteristics of the galvanized 
coating and the technology with which it is applied.
Typical bushfire conditions may expose steel structures to 
air temperature of 800°C for periods of up to 120 seconds, 
however zinc coatings are generally reflective and will not 
absorb heat at the same rate as an uncoated steel surface. 
Depending on the section thickness of the steel, the actual 
steel surface temperatures may not exceed 350°C.
Typically, the bushfire flame duration and intensity are 
not high enough to compromise the structural strength 
of the steel. The hot dip galvanized coating will thus 
remain largely unaffected through a bushfire event. If the 
bushfire causes damage to the galvanized surface, then 
the item(s) shall be replaced.

7.3   Damage Assessment

In the event of a vehicle impact, damage to the barrier is 
to be assessed in accordance with Table 6. In the event 
that the ropes are to be cut, they are NOT to be cut under 
tension.
A Safe Work Method Statement is available upon request 
to assist in the safe repair of MashFlex.

Information based upon testing conducted on behalf of BlueScope 

Steel by the CSIRO Manufacturing and Infrastructure Technology 
Bushfire CRC in 2005.
