Trinity Industries, Inc. Provides Update on ET Plus® System
August 27 2015 - 9:26AM
Business Wire
Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) has learned that the
Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) intends to conduct
additional crash testing of the ET Plus® System.
The following statement is attributable to Trinity spokesman
Jeff Eller:
“We do not believe additional tests are needed. The ET Plus®
System successfully passed all eight Federal Highway Administration
(“FHWA”) requested tests. VDOT officials observed each test. Those
tests were validated by an independent expert, Dr. Clay Gabler from
Virginia Tech, and conducted under approved NCHRP 350 guidelines.
The ET Plus® has been installed on Virginia roadways for more than
eight years and VDOT recently confirmed to the FHWA that the ET
Plus® end terminals are performing as expected. 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.”
Information from the FHWA pertaining to the ET Plus® System may
be found at: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/guardrailsafety/.
For general information pertaining to purpose, function, and
crashworthiness of guardrails reference the FHWA document entitled
“Guardrail 101,” found at:
