In order to fully comply with the requirements of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, vehicle restraint systems have to provide minimum levels of injury risk to car passengers under impact conditions.

To quantify the injury risk, all road restraint systems are tested according to EN 1317-2 to ascertain the Impact Severity Level. The ISL must not normally exceed Class B to be compliant with the requirements of the DMRB.

DELTA BLOC DB 80E/6m K150S has now been successfully crash tested to the European Standard to meet the requirements of ISL B.

The crash test report has been independently assessed by TRL and DELTA BLOC DB 80E/6m K150S has been granted acceptance for use on the Highways Agency road network as a rigid concrete barrier with H2 Containment Level.

Tony Walker, General Manager, DELTA BLOC UK Ltd. commented:

"This is a very important step in our product development for the Highways Agency motorway network. DELTA BLOC DB 80-E can now be used in the central reservation of motorways as a direct alternative to cast in-situ Concrete Step Barrier.”

“We are now actively talking to a number of clients dealing with projects where cast in-situ Concrete Step Barrier was believed to be the only choice.”

“Speed of installation is seen as a key benefit in significantly reducing programme durations and preliminary costs.”
