PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
New Hardware or Modification to
Significant Modification Existing Hardware

BarrierGuard 800 system is a proprietary modular high containment and low deflection steel barrier developed
by Laura Metaal Road Safety. It is designed for both permanent and temporary use in construction and
roadwork applications. The system is typically deployed in 6.0 m (236 in) standard sections that can quickly be
connected together to form the desired total length of barrier wall.

Joining of the sections is done by linking them together and applying one security bolt per section to keep the
sections securely fastened. If desired, two or three sections can remain connected permanently to form 12.0 m
(472 in) or 18.0 m (709 in) combined sections for quicker placement on the road.

BarrierGuard 800 is 0.80 m (31.5 in) high and 0.54 m (21.3 in) wide without anchor units or 0.70 m (27.6 in) with
anchor units. The weight is approximately 90 kg/m or 620bs/ft. For the MASH TL-3 standard setup, 12 standard
sections were lined up on asphalt, forming a 72.0 m (236 ft) string. 8 flat top anchor pins at either end were
used to secure the barriers. The pins are 0.45 m (17.7 in) long and 0.030 m (1.18 in) in diameter. The anchor
units are evenly spread over the first and last element by placing them in the anchor slots. This type of
anchoring on asphalt is the worst case scenario, anchoring on concrete is also acceptable with the same pins,
or when adjusting to be epoxied, with 0.30 m (11.8 in) long and 0.030 m (1.18 in) diameter threaded rods.

The dynamic deflection of the MASH TL3-11 test was 1.69 m (66.5 in) and the permanent deflection was 1.60 m
(63.0 in). The dynamic working width was 2.22 m (87.4 in) and the permanent working width was 2.14 m (84.3
in).

BarrierGuard 800 was previously succesfully tested according NCHRP 350 level.

Federal Highway
Administration

May 17, 2018 In Reply Refer To:
HSST-1 / B-303
Mr. Michael van der Vlist
Laura Metaal Road Safety
Rimburgerweg 40, 6471 XX Kerkrade
The Netherlands

Dear Mr. van der Vlist:

This letter is in response to your March 18, 2018 request for the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) to review a roadside safety device, hardware, or system for eligibility for
reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program. This FHWA letter of eligibility is
assigned FHWA control number B-303 and is valid until a subsequent letter is issued by FHWA
that expressly references this device.

Decision

The following device is eligible within the length-of-need, with details provided in the form
which is attached as an integral part of this letter:
e  BarrierGuard 800 MASH TL-3 Standard

Scope of this Letter

To be found eligible for Federal-aid funding, new roadside safety devices should meet the crash
test and evaluation criteria contained in the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials’(AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH).
However, the FHWA, the Department of Transportation, and the United States Government do
not regulate the manufacture of roadside safety devices. Eligibility for reimbursement under the
Federal-aid highway program does not establish approval, certification or endorsement of the
device for any particular purpose or use.

This letter is not a determination by the FHWA, the Department of Transportation, or the United
States Government that a vehicle crash involving the device will result in any particular
outcome, nor is it a guarantee of the in-service performance of this device. Proper
manufacturing, installation, and maintenance are required in order for this device to function as
tested.

This finding of eligibility is limited to the crashworthiness of the system and does not cover other
structural features, nor conformity with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
