Guardrail Rigid Transition
Guardrail Rigid Transition
Guardrail Rigid Transitions provide secure, compliant connections between flexible W-Beam or Thrie-Beam guardrails and rigid concrete barriers. With Austroads transitioning to MASH-compliant systems, these legacy transitions may no longer be approved for new installations. For MASH TL3-compliant alternatives, consult your local Ingal Civil representative about the Ingal RBT system.

- Description DescriptionThe Guardrail Rigid Transitions ensure secure and compliant connections between semi-rigid W-Beam/Thriebeam barriers and more rigid concrete barriers. These transitions are essential for maintaining safety, especially at the critical points where flexible guardrails meet rigid concrete barriers.Description DescriptionFeatures• Stiffness Transition: These transitions facilitate a gradual increase in stiffness from the flexible guardrail to the rigid concrete barrier, minimizing the risk of vehicle impact hazards.• Safety Compliance: Fully compliant with AS/NZS 3845 and designed according to NCHRP-350 guidelines. Note that, in line with the Austroads transition to MASH-compliant systems, these transitions may no longer be approved for new installations in some jurisdictions. For MASH TL3-compliant transitions, refer to the Ingal® RBT system.• Compatibility: Engineered to integrate seamlessly with existing W-Beam and Thriebeam systems commonly used on bridges..Description DescriptionAcceptanceThese transition systems meet the requirements of AS/NZS 3845 and adhere to Austroads recommendations for safety barrier transitions. However, it's crucial to consult your local Ingal Civil representative to ensure compliance with the latest standards and regulations in your area.Description DescriptionCompliance and CertificationsAS/NZS 38450: Complies with road safety barrier standards.NCHRP-350: Designed following NCHRP-350 guidelines to ensure high safety and performance.
