FHWA Confirms there is only One Version of the ET Plus® Head
The ET Plus® System has passed all eight Federal Highway
Administration requested crash tests.
The FHWA today released results for the final four crash tests
of the ET Plus® System, confirming all four tests passed. The four
tests were conducted at the 31” installation height and are the
final four of eight tests requested by the FHWA last October. All
eight tests were conducted under National Cooperative Highway
Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 criteria. Report 350 sets forth
the performance evaluation criteria applicable to the ET Plus®
System and many other roadside safety features used on U.S.
highways.
The test results for all of the eight passed tests can be found
at: http://www.etplusfacts.com.
In addition, earlier this week, the FHWA and the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) confirmed there is only one version of the ET Plus®
System extruder head. They confirmed the products tested by the
FHWA are representative of the ET Plus® System installed on U.S.
roadways.
The ET Plus® is a robust end terminal system that performs as
designed pursuant to NCHRP Report 350 criteria when properly
installed and maintained.
The ET Plus® System has been successfully crash tested more
times than any product of its kind. It has an unbroken chain of
eligibility for federal-aid reimbursement from the FHWA.
These tests were conducted in accordance with Report 350 at
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), an accredited and independent
research facility. The ET Plus® extruder heads tested in all eight
tests were randomly selected by the FHWA from inventory at the
California Department of Transportation.
