BEAT-BP

Box Beam Bursting Energy Absorbing Terminal – Bridge Pier

The BEAT-BP shields bridge piers, and is adjustable for multiple pier spacings and number of piers. It is a self-contained system meaning existing box beam railing is not required. It is much lower in cost and more effective than the Thrie Beam Bullnose system.

Major components include 6” x 6” box beam, breakaway steel posts, impact head, non-breakaway steel posts, cable anchor assemblies and associated hardware. The condensed layout reduces exposure area and increases recovery area. And it’s low cost compared to other options.
