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.
