End terminals

The system offers

• Improved safety performance 
• Installed in one visit
• Driven, straight ended detail: ideal where space is limited
• Low maintenance
• Seamless connectivity with existing barrier
• Suitable for all ground types
• Approved by the Highways Agency

Specifications

*Also approved for 70mph departure end

Applications

• Vetex P1 end terminal effectively anchors and terminates barrier runs, offering a cost effective alternative to existing P1 terminals  
• Straight ended detail enables installation where space is limited
• New build projects
• Can be integrated with existing barrier runs; ideal for maintenance, repair and refurbishment

Installation & Maintenance

Vetex terminals do not have concrete fairing details and do not require tensioning.   Vetex P1 can therefore be installed in as little as 1 hour, with only one site visit needed.  They are driven terminals which can also be installed in concrete.

Expert Design & Engineering

Safety is at the heart of Corus safety barrier development. The patented* Vetex terminals have been engineered to offer a safer alternative to traditional terminals.   

Vetex terminals have been specifically designed to assist in the redirection of ramped impacts in a safe and controlled way.  A discrete, sloping end detail to below ground yields a robust anchorage, while ensuring that key anchorage components do not create a hazard to errant vehicles.  The Vetex design allows a vehicle to mount the terminal smoothly, without snagging, and redirects it onto the ground, giving an improved level of safety for vehicle occupants.

With Vetex terminals, vehicle and barrier damage is generally lower than for collapsible mechanisms.  Therefore, Vetex terminals maintain anchorage of the adjacent barrier, which means that the barrier maintains safety performance and can still be effective after impact.
