Ingal Elevated Barrier

Ingal Elevated Barrier

The Ingal Elevated Barrier system is based on the Ezy-Guard HC MASH TL4 system combining AS5100-Compliant edge protection using deck or side mounted posts with minimal lane intrusion. By utilising components from the proven Ezy-Guard HC system, the Elevated Barrier System is a versatile and robust barrier suitable for use in a wide range of locations where an In Ground Post is unable to be installed, ranging from small culverts through to bridges and structures, offering superior edge protection while maintaining compliance with MASH and AS 5100.2 standards.

• Comprehensive Safety: The Elevated Barrier uses energy-absorbing Z-posts designed to yield above the Base Plate, reducing impact forces and ensuring effective vehicle containment and redirection on bridges.

• Versatile Mounting Options: The system can be deck or side mounted to the bridge structure, providing flexibility in design and installation while conserving lane width.

• Design Flexibility: The Elevated Barrier may be configured to suit 1m Post Centres (TL4 containment) or 2m Post Centres TL2 or TL3 containment). In addition Custom length Posts are available if required.

• Simple to Maintain: By utilising standard Base Plated Ezy-Guard HC Posts, repair of an impacted system is usually limited to removing relevant fasteners, damaged Posts & Rails, then replacing said damaged components with no cutting or drilling required.

• Minimal Load Transfer: The barrier is designed to minimize load transfer into bridge structures during an impact, reducing the risk of structural damage and the need for extensive repairs.

• Seamless Transition: The system seamlessly integrates with In Ground Ezy-Guard systems or may transition to an Ingal RBT, ET-SS, TREND Median or QuadGuard Crash Cushion.

• Rapid Installation: With fewer parts and no special tools required, the Elevated Barrier system can be installed quickly, reducing labour costs and time on site.

• Consideration for Motorcyclists & Pedestrians: The unique Z-Post used in all Elevated Barrier systems includes features such as rounded post edges and shielded posts to protect vulnerable road users. Post Caps are available to suit all Posts while Ingal MPR may also be installed.

The AS5100 Elevated Barrier is compliant with AS 5100.2 and AS/NZS 3845.1 standards, ensuring reliable performance for both MASH TL2 and TL3 containment levels. The system has been evaluated and approved by Austroads Safety Barrier Assessment Panel and all state road agencies.

AS5100.2 Low Performance Level: Compliant with MASH Test Level 2 for impacts at 70 km/h.

MASH TL3 Compliance: Verified to withstand impacts at higher speeds, with a 1m post spacing offering increased containment.
