QuadGuard Elite

Purpose: The QuadGuard Elite is an end treatment for concrete barrier and beam guardrail and is also used for fixed objects up to 7 feet-6 inches wide.

Description: The system consists of telescoping quadruple corrugated fender panels mounted on both sides of a series of polyethylene cylinders.

Functionality: The cylinders are compressed during a head-on impact and will return to their original shape when the system is reset. It is anticipated that this system will require very few replacement parts or extensive repair.

Foundation: The system is installed on a concrete foundation.

Slope: If the site has excessive grade or cross slope, additional site preparation or modification to the units in accordance with the manufacturer's literature is required. Excessive is defined as steeper than 8% for the QuadGuard Elite.

Manufacturer/Supplier: Energy Absorption Systems
