814.2 Sand Filled Impact Attenuators

814.2.1 The system shall consist of a group or series of free standing plastic barrels

designed to transfer the vehicle’s momentum to the increasing masses of sand in the barrels

unbagged sand to absorb the energy of an errant vehicle. The lighter barrels shall be placed
near the front of arrays to gradually slow the smaller vehicles. Heavier barrels shall be placed

in narrow median should be shielded on both ends and the modules placed on the ends

obstacle to avoid wrong way hits. The modules should be placed on a concrete or asphalt
surface with maximum slope of 5 percent in any direction. Each barrel’s location and weight

of sand should be carefully spray painted on the surface at the position that will be covered
by the barrel to ensure that the array will be correctly reconstructed after an accident.

814.2.2 The total length and width of the array shall be designed depending upon
the expected speed of approaching vehicle. The typical lay out for approach speed of

furnish a copy of the manufacturer’s installation instructions for whatever particular brand

accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Sand barrels are essentially one-hit
systems requiring complete replacement of impacted barrels. Their use, therefore, is suitable

and the layout drawing got approved by the Engineer.

814.3 Proprietary Attenuator System

The Proprietary Attenuator Systems essentially comprise a series of w- beam fender panels
supported by diaphragms with a trigger mechanism at nose, which, when hit, releases a

rearward to absorb the energy so as to bring the errant vehicle to a controlled stop. The
refurbishment shall involve the replacement of damaged unit with repair done, off site. The

has been tested in accordance with the NCHRP 350 and performs effectively at design
