Cost effective solution for safety barrier applications

• Improved safety performance
• Installation in only one visit
• Driven, straight ended detail: ideal for where space is limited
• Seamless connectivity with existing barriers
• Suitable for all ground types
• Approved by the Highways Agency

<ul> <li>Vetex® P1 end terminal effectively anchors and terminates barrier runs thus offering a cost effective alternative to existing P1 terminals</li> <li>Straight ended detail enables installation where space is limited</li> <li>Suitable for new build projects</li> <li>Can be integrated with existing barrier runs; ideal for maintenance, repair and refurbishment</li> </ul>

<ul> <li>Vetex® terminals do not have concrete fairing details and do not require tensioning</li> <li>Vetex® P1 can therefore be installed in as little as one hour, with only one site visit needed</li> <li>They are driven terminals which can also be installed in concrete</li> </ul>

<ul> <li>Safety is at the heart of Tata Steel Highways safety barrier development. The patented Vetex®  terminals have been engineered to offer a safer alternative to traditional terminals</li> <li>Vetex® terminals have been specifically designed to assist in the redirection of ramped impacts in a safe and controlled way. A discrete, sloping end detail to below ground yields a robust anchorage, while ensuring that key anchorage components do not create a hazard to errant vehicles. The Vetex® design allows a vehicle to mount the terminal smoothly, without snagging, and redirects it onto the ground, giving an improved level of safety for vehicle occupants</li> <li>With Vetex® terminals, vehicle and barrier damge is generally lower than for collapsible mechanisms. Therefore, Vetex® terminals maintain anchorage of the adjacent barrier, which means that the barrier maintains safety performance and can still be effective after impact</li> </ul>
