Non-Redirecting Energy Absorbing Terminal (N-E-A-T)

Purpose: The N-E-A-T system is an end treatment for temporary concrete barrier where vehicle speeds are 45 mph or less.

Description: The N-E-A-T System's cartridge weighs about 300 pounds and is 9 feet-8 inches long. The system consists of aluminum cells encased in an aluminum shell with steel backup, attachment hardware, and transition panels. It can be attached to the ends of New Jersey shaped portable concrete barrier and the moveable QuickChange Barrier.

Functionality: The energy of an impact is dissipated as the aluminum cells are crushed.

Foundation: The system does not require a paved foundation.

Slope: 10H:1V or flatter slope between the edge of the traveled way and the near face of the unit.
