The BRI-FLEX H2 W5 double sided Vehicle Restraint System has been developed to give a high degree of impact safety for central reserve / median applications.  BRI-FLEX has been fully tested to the requirements of the European Standard EN1317 and has a Highways Agency ‘acceptance for use’ on the UK Motorway and Trunk Road Network.

BRI-FLEX has a system working width classification of W4 and along with a vehicle intrusion of W5, its system width of only 835 mm facilitates its use on narrow central reserve medians. Data and experience gained from the development of a variety of different vehicle restraint systems has resulted in the BRI-FLEX system achieving an impact severity level (formally known as ASI) of class A, achieving the lowest (and hence safest) classification for impacting vehicles and therefore providing a higher level of protection. This is in comparison to other solid concrete / rigid systems that are only ASI C.

Bri-Flex is a hybrid development of two successful Hill & Smith VRS’s, H1/H2 FLEXBEAM PLUS and Brifen wire rope and hence the system components are well proven stock items.

• Fully tested to EN1317 for UK highways
• Softest impact system - ASI “A” approval
• Cost effective solution
• Low cost installation
• High containment
• Allows weather (snow) and debris to pass through rather than building up on the side of a highway.
