Hydrajaws specialist equipment for testing motorway crash barrier safety posts is designed to be used in accordance with BS 7669-3:1994 Vehicle restraint systems: Guide to the installation, inspection, and repair of safety fences.
The Hydrajaws Safety Post and Foundation Test Equipment applies hydraulic pressure on VRS safety posts and deflections are recorded as incremental load increases are applied.
When calculated, these recorded measurements will determine whether the post, spacing, and footings used are adequate and fit for purpose. Using the manufacturers’ recommendations, a site engineer will determine the frequency of the tests.
