Orion™ is a TL-3 barrier made up of steel units that when joined together using a steel connector and anchored at either end will provide positive work zone barrier protection to temporary construction sites and other miscellaneous roadside activities. Orion™ has been designed and tested to meet the evaluation criteria of NCHRP 350 Test Level 3 (TL-3) for a longitudinal barrier.
When correctly installed it is capable of stopping, containing or re-directing an errant vehicle in a safe manner under NCHRP 350 impact conditions.
Orion™ is a low cost , high performance TL-3 steel barrier that can be installed straight or with minor curvature. If required the barrier end can be protected using TL-3 proprietary crash cushions.
Orion™ TL-3 barrier is designed and constructed to provide acceptable structural adequacy, minimal occupant risk and safe trajectory as set forth in NCHRP 350 for longitudinal barriers.
