ArmorBuffa™ temporary end treatment barrier
ArmorBuffa™ is designed to protect the end of unanchored Temporary Concrete Barriers and anchored Temporary Steel Barriers.
The ArmorBuffa™ is a non-redirective, gating, crash cushion designed to meet the MASH test standard. The ArmorBuffa™ system utilises a Transition, water-filled Elements and a Nose Piece to absorb kinetic energy of impacting vehicles.
The system is comprised of a Nose Piece, water-filled Elements, Pins, a Transition and mechanical anchors. All Elements are always filled with water.
The system has a nominal 1,100mm height, 525mm width, and an effective length of 9,313mm for TL-3 when installed on a Temporary Concrete Barrier and an effective length of 5,316mm for TL2.
