Reusable Energy Absorbing Crash
Terminal (REACT 350), Wide REACT 350
Purpose: The REACT 350 is an end treatment for concrete barriers and is also used for fixed objects up to 9 feet wide.
Description: The system consists of polyethylene cylinders with varying wall thickness, redirecting cables, a steel frame base, and a backup structure.
Functionality: The redirecting cables are anchored in the concrete foundation at the front of the system and in the backup structure at the rear of the system. When hit head-on, the cylinders compress and absorb the impact energy, but the system returns to approximately 80% of its original length immediately. For side impacts, the cables restrain the system enough to prevent penetration and redirect the vehicle. 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 REACT 350.
