Safence Super C slope fence makes the MASH grade

The Safence Super C-profile wire rope slope fence from Blue Systems is now MASH accredited. The Super C is used on slopes and side areas of roads, as well as medians and is available in a range of systems in accordance with NCHRP 350, European EN 1317, similar to Blue Systems Safence U-profile cable fence. Now the Super C is US MASH accredited, making it the world’s first MASHG slope and side cable barrier to carry the assurance, claims Mats Heinevik, chief executive of Blue Systems.

Safence wire rope safety fence is developed in a way that allows the systems to remain functional even after a collision. Under normal circumstances the cables remain essentially at their correct heights even with a number of posts are knocked out and totally missing.

In addition to standard collision tests, Blue Systems has also carried out crash tests simulating a previously damaged installation at extra-high speeds and more extremely angled collisions.

Even relatively minor impacts can damage street traffic signs or bollards to the point where they have to be replaced, at considerable cost to local authorities. And those signs that do not have to be replaced but sustain damage can spoil a streetscape.
