PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

 New Hardware or  Modification t

 Significant Modification Existing Hardware

The ArmorZone MASH TL2 End Treatment is a gating, non-redirective End Treatment designed to protect the 

end of ArmorZone MASH TL2 temporary longitudinal water filled safety barriers from errant vehicles. 

The ArmorZone MASH TL2 End Treatment is free standing and does not require anchoring to the road surface. 

It can be installed on concrete road surfaces (as tested) and also asphalt, gravel and dirt road surfaces. 

The ArmorZone MASH TL2 End Treatment comprises of one yellow HDPE ArmorZone module which has had 

holes cut into its sides to prevent filling with water, and it also has had slots cut into the barrier sides and 

connector to initiate crumpling when impacted. The steel connector bar (which is present in the ArmorZone 

MASH TL2 longitude barriers) has been removed. 

The dimensions of the Armor Zone MASH TL2 End Treatment are the same as the ArmorZone MASH TL2 

longitudinal barrier sections. Width 17.7 inches (450mm), Length 85 inches (2,160mm) Height 33.9 inches 

(860mm) and a weight of 56kg. 

The connection between the ArmorZone MASH TL2 End Treatment and the ArmorZone MASH TL2 temporary 

water filled longitudinal barrier is the same as what is used to connect each section of the ArmorZone MASH 

TL2 longitudinal barrier. It comprises of three HDPE lugs protruding from the end of the yellow module that 

interlinks with the three protruding lugs on the last barrier in the run. A steel twin pin connector is then 

inserted down through holes in each of the nested lugs, thus locking the ArmorZone MASH TL2 End Treatment 

to the last ArmorZone barrier in the run. 

For the TL2 tests conducted, the ArmorZone MASH TL2 end treatment was connected to a minimum of 21 

units of the Armorzone MASH TL2 barrier for a total length of 154.0 ft. (48.4 m). All barrier units were filled with 

water to capacity via the fill hole at the top of each barrier. Each barrier weighed 124.0 lbs (56.2 kg) when 

empty and 1,030 lbs (467.2 kg) when filled to capacity. All units had a drain plug. 

The ArmorZone MASH TL2 End Treatment was tested to and passed MASH TL2 2-40, 2-41, 2-42, 2-43 and 2-44.

The test article was aligned at a nominal 

angle of 0 degrees, with the crash cushion 

offset one quarter the vehicle's overall 

width. The test was conducted using a 

commercially available 2009 Kia Rio 4-door 

sedan with a test inertial mass of 2,412.9 lbs. 

(1,094.5 kg). The test was conducted with 

the crash cushion and the longitudinal 

barrier resting on a concrete surface. 

Upon vehicle engagement with the end 

treatment, the end treatment began to 

crush. The end treatment was completely 

crushed by approximately 0.144 s, at which 

point the vehicle velocity was 27. 1 mph 

(43.6 km/h). As the end treatment was 

crushing the entire Armorzone MASH TL2 

longitudinal barrier was shifting rearward 

and the first unit immediately behind the 

end treatment began to deform. The 

barriers started to shift at approximately 

0.Ql 6 sand the first unit began to lift 

slightly off the ground and deform at about 

0.060 s. 

The vehicle's yaw rotation rate increased 

after the end treatment was crushed due to 

the interaction with the heavier reinforced 

2-40 (11 00C) barrier unit. The first unit immediately 

behind the end treatment deformed 

towards the driver side as the vehicle yawed 

in the opposite direction. The vehicle lost 

contact with the unit at 0.49.2 s after which 

the vehicle continued its yaw rotation and 

the installation continued to extend 

towards the left (driver) side until it reached 

a maximum dynamic deflection and 

working width of 13.6 ft. (4.1 m) and 15.0 ft. 

(4.6 m), respectively. The vehicle came to a 

stop 31.6 ft. (9.6 m) right and 13.1 ft. (4.0 m) 

downstream from the initial point of 

contact. 

The end treatment's performance was 

deemed as acceptable to the MASH 

standard based on the 2-40 test conducted. 

The test device was penetrated in a 

controlled fashion and without excessive 

deceleration before coming to a controlled 

stop. The vehicle was not penetrated and 

there was not potential for article 

penetration into the occupant 

compartment. It is therefore recommended 

that the performance of the Armorzone 

MASH TL2 End Treatment be considered as 

satisfactory to test level 2 test 40.

The test article was aligned at a nominal 

angle of 0 degrees, with the centreline of 

the vehicle aligned with the longitudinal 

centreline of the end treatment. The test 

was conducted using a commercially 

available 2013 RAM 1500 4-door pickup 

truck with a test inertial mass of 4,980.2 lbs. 

(2,259.0 kg). 

The test vehicle impacted the system at a 

velocity of 43.98 mph (70.78 km/h) and an 

impact angle of 0.3°. The vehicle initial point 

of contact with the system was 1.0 in. (25 

mm) from the intended impact point. 

The vehicle's front bumper began to deform 

upon impact. The vehicle crushed the first 

unit and reached the second unit at 

approximately 0.120 s. The second unit 

began to lose its water at approximately 

0.171 s. As the vehicle's front end 

approached the second unit's midpoint the 

front end began to pitch upward. The third 

unit began to lose its water at 2-41 (2270P) approximately 0.220 sand the system began 

to deflect to the right side. The vehicle 

continued forward and reached a maximum 

pitch angle of 12.5°. The first unit was 

underneath the vehicle when the front end 

returned to the ground. The vehicle came to 

rest 25.2 ft. (7.7 m) downstream and 8.0 ft. 

(2.4 m) left from its initial point of contact 

with the system. 

The Armorzone MASH TL2 End Treatment's 

performance was deemed as acceptable to 

the MASH standard based on the 2-41 test 

conducted. The test device was penetrated 

in a controlled fashion and without 

excessive deceleration before coming to a 

controlled stop. The vehicle was not 

penetrated and there was not potential for 

article penetration into the occupant 

compartment. It is therefore recommended 

that the performance of the Armorzone 

MASH TL2 End Treatment be considered as 

satisfactory to test level 2 test 41. 

Version 10.0 (05/16) 

Page S of 9 

PASS 
The test article was aligned at a nominal 

angle of 5 degrees, with the centreline of 

the vehicle aligned with the nose of the 

crash cushion. The test was conducted 

using a commercially available 2008 Kia Rio 

4-door sedan with a test inertial mass of 

2,410.7 lbs. (1,093.5 kg). 

The vehicle impacted the end treatment at 

an angle of 4.8° and a speed of 44.14 mph 

(71.04 km/h). Upon impact the empty 

module began to crush. The end treatment 

was completely crushed by approximately 

0.126 s, at which point the vehicle's velocity 

was reduced to 29.43 mph (47.36 km/h). 

The vehicle remained relatively in its initial 

trajectory until the end treatment bottomed 

out and the first unit of the Armorzone 

began to deflect at about 0.140 s. The front 

of unit 1 was folded towards the field side at 

0.275 s, which guided the vehicle towards 2-42 (11 00C) the field side as it remained in contact with 

the end treatment. The vehicle continued 

forward and separated from the installation 

at 1 .650 s. The vehicle came to a stop 25.9 ft. 

(7.9 m) right and 43.6 ft. (13.3 m) 

downstream from the initial point of 

contact. 

The Armorzone MASH TL2 End Treatment's 

performance was deemed as acceptable to 

the MASH standard based on the 2-42 test 

conducted. The test device was penetrated 

in a controlled fashion and without 

excessive deceleration before coming to a 

controlled stop. The vehicle was not 

penetrated and there was not potential for 

article penetration into the occupant 

compartment. It is therefore recommended 

that the end treatment be considered as 

satisfactory to test level 2 test 42.

Page 6 of 9 

PASS 
The test article was aligned at a nominal 

angle of 5 degrees, with the centreline of 

the vehicle aligned with the nose of the 

crash cushion. The test was conducted 

using a commercially available 2012 Ram 

1500 pickup truck with a test inertial mass 

of 4,992.3 lbs. (2,264.5 kg). 

The vehicle impacted the end treatment at 

an angle of 5.4° and a speed of 44.59 mph 

(71 .76 km/h). Upon impact the empty unit 

began to crush. The end treatment was 

completely crushed by approximately 0.128 

s, at which point the vehicle's velocity was 

reduced to 34.87 mph (56.12 km/h). As the 

end treatment was crushing the Armorzone 

barriers began to shift rearward. 

After the end treatment was completely 

crushed, unit 1 of the Armorzone barrier 

began to deform. Unit 1 was significantly 

deformed and released its water before the 

subsequent unit (Unit 2) began to deform at 

0.202 s. Units 1 and 2 began their 

deformation in a similar manner as a crease 

2-43 (2270P) was created at the top of both upstream 

ends of the units, which caused the 

upstream end to bend upwards. This 

motion caused the vehicle to pitch nose up 

as it continued forward, which prevented 

any other Armorzone units from crushing. 

The vehicle reached a maximum pitch and 

roll angle of 34 .7° (at 0.952 s) and 10.7° (at 

0.563 s), respectively, before coming to a 

stop. The vehicle came to a stop 2.2 ft. (0.7 

m) right and 2.6 ft. (0.8 m) downstream from 

the initial point of contact. 

The Armorzone MASH TL2 End Treatment's 

performance was deemed as acceptable to 

the MASH standard based on the 2-43 test 

conducted. The test device was penetrated 

in a controlled fashion and without 

excessive deceleration before coming to a 

controlled stop. The vehicle was not 

penetrated and there was not potential for 

article penetration into the occupant 

compartment. It is therefore recommended 

that the end treatment be considered as 

satisfactory to test level 2 test 43.

2-44 (2270P) 

The test article was aligned at a nominal 

angle of 20 degrees, with the centre of the 

vehicle aligned to the corner to the backup 

structure which in this case was the 

Arrnorzone MASH TL2 longitudinal barrier. 

The test was conducted using a 

commercially available 2012 RAM 1500 

pickup truck with a test inertial mass of 

4,992.3 lbs. (2,264.5 kg). The test was 

conducted with twenty-one (21) Armorzone 

units behind the end treatment, the first 

eight (8) units behind the end treatment 

were on concrete and the remaining rested 

on compacted soil. 

The intended impact point for this test was 

established by having the centre of the 

vehicle aligned with the field side front 

corner of the first Armorzone unit. This 

resulted in first contact occurring between 

the respective corners of the vehicle's 

bumper and the end treatment. The test 

vehicle impacted the end treatment at a 

velocity of 46.42 mph (7 4.71 km/h) and an 

impact angle of 20.5°. 

The impact forced the end treatment and 

Armorzone units to rotate towards the field 

side and rearwards about the original 

tangent installation. All units remained 

attached to one another and the vehicle 

separated from the article at 0.605 s. The 

vehicle's exit speed and angle upon exit 

were 23.63 mph (38.03 km/h) and 17.2°, 

respectively. The vehicle gated through the 

system in a stable manner. 

The end treatment's performance was 

deemed as acceptable to the MASH 

standard based on the 2-44 test conducted. 

The test vehicle came to a controlled stop 

and remained upright. The test vehicle was 

not penetrated and the occupant 

compartment deformation limits were not 

exceeded. 

PASS 

2-45 (1500A) 

This test is primarily intended to evaluate 

the performance of a staged terminal or 

crash cushion. The ArmorZone MASH TL2 

End Treatment is not a staging device and 

therefore this test was not conducted.
