PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

(9 New Hardware or (' Modification to 

• Significant Modification Existing Hardware 

The MASH Water Wall TL-2 is a longitudinal barrier designed to contain, redirect, and shield vehicles from 

roadside obstacles while providing positive protection and separation between the traveling public and the 

personnel in the work zone. The MASH TrafFix Water Wall is free standing, does not require anchoring to the 

road surface, can be used on concrete, asphalt, gravel, and dirt surfaces. The surfaces used for these tests were 

concrete and dirt. 

A water wall system consists of a series of individual water filled modules that are connected to adjacent 

modules creating a continuous barrier wall. Adjoining modules can rotate up to 30 degrees at the connection, 

allowing the barrier wall to contour to varying road curvature. 

Individual modules have overall dimensions of 73 in (1 .9 m) long, pin to pin X 18 in (0.46 m) wide X 32 in (0.8 m) 

tall. An empty module weights approx. 90 lbs. (41 kgs) and 1070.3 lbs. (485.5 kgs) when filled with water. The 

modules are manufactured from polyethylene that is UV stabilized that is orange and white in color. Orange 

and white barrier modules were the as tested colors the product may be produced in other colors. 

Permanently molded within the plastic modules are three corrosion resistant cables. The modules are 

designed with knuckles at the ends which contain a series of vertically aligned concentric holes that allow a 

steel t-pin to be inserted to connect adjacent modules together. When modules are pinned together there are 

a total of eight knuckles aligned with the steel t-pin inserted. This provides a positive connection between 

adjacent modules. 

Upon impact the plastic modules rupture, dispersing the contained water, simultaneously engaging and 

tightening the internal molded-in cable barrier. 

CRASH TESTING 

By signature below, the Engineer affiliated with the testing laboratory, agrees in support of this submission that 

all of the critical and relevant crash tests for this device listed above were conducted to meet the MASH test 

criteria. The Engineer has determined that no other crash tests are necessary to determine the device meets 

the MASH criteria.

The TrafFix Water Wall was angled 25° from 

the direction of the impacting vehicle. The 

side angle impact examines the barrier's 

ability to contain, re-direct, or bring the 

vehicle to a controlled stop. The vehicle 

should not penetrate the installation while 

controlled lateral deflection of the test 

article is acceptable. 

The test was conducted using a 

commercially available 2013 Kia Rio 4-door 

sedan with a test inertial mass of 2,448.3 lbs 

(1, 110.5 kg). The test vehicle impacted the 

barrier at a velocity of 44.25 mph (71.21 km/ 

hr) and at an impact angle of 25.8°. The as 

tested MASH Water Wall TL-2 consisted of 

25 water filled modules pinned together 

measuring 151 .8 ft. (46.3 m) long, pin to pin. 

Upon initial contact with the first module 

the vehicle moved forward, impacted the 

adjacent module causing the module to 

rupture, dispersing the contained water, 

simultaneously engaging and tightening 

the internal molded-in cable barrier. The 

vehicle was contained on the traffic side of 

the barrier and was brought to a controlled 

stop 28.5 ft. (8.7 m) longitudinally 

(downstream) and 8.2 ft. (2.5 m) lateral 

(toward non traffic side) from the initial 

point of contact. The barrier had a 

maximum working width of 9.7 ft. (3.0 m) 

and a maximum dynamic deflection of 8.4 

ft. (2.5 m). 

The vehicle remained upright throughout 

the impact event. The test vehicle's 

occupant compartment was not penetrated 

and there was no measurable in cab 

deformation. The maximum roll and pitch 

angle did not exceed 75° and occupant risk 

values were within limits per MASH 

specifications for Occupant Impact Velocity 

(OIV) and Ridedown Acceleration (RA)
