TFS TL16 VEHICLE PARAPET

The TFS TL16 steel vehicle parapet has passed a series of full scale crash tests, in accordance with the EN 1317-2 European Standard, for a high containment level of H3 (TB 61 test: truck with a weight of 16.000 kg., at a speed of 80 km/h and an angle of 20° + TB 11 test: car with a weight of 900 kg., at a speed of 100 km/h and an angle of 20°).    

FIELD OF APPLICATION

The TFS TL16 steel vehicle parapet is a vehicle restraint 6 system specifically designed for:

- Bridge deck edges (bridges, viaducts).

- Top section of retaining walls.

- Other similar road works      

The breakaway anchoring system is designed to allow its release during the impact of a heavy vehicle. In this case, the structure’s design prevents the bridge deck from being damaged. The tubular energy dissipator of the lower rail provides the system with energy absorption and deformation capabilities, which guarantee an affordable level of severity to light vehicles, incapable of releasing anchoring system.
