Important Introductory Notes Proper assembly of the Triton Barrier® system is essential to achieve performance of the system under appropriate federal and state criteria. These instructions should be read in their entirety and understood before assembling the Triton Barrier® system. These instructions are to be used only in conjunction with the assembly of the Triton Barrier® system and are for standard assemblies only as specified by the applicable highway authority. In the event your system assembly requires or involves deviation from standard parameters or, during the assembly process a question arises, please contact the appropriate highway authority that specified this system at this particular location for guidance. Energy Absorption Systems is available for consultation with that agency. These instructions are intended for an individual who is qualified to both read and accurately interpret them as written. They are intended for the individual who is experienced and skilled in the assembly of highway products which are specified and selected by the highway authority.
A set of product and project shop drawings are available from Energy Absorption Systems. The shop drawings will be for each section of the assembly. These drawings should be reviewed and studied thoroughly by a qualified individual who is skilled in interpreting them before the start of any assembly.

Limitations and Warnings
Energy Absorption Systems, in compliance with the National Cooperative Research Highway Program 350 (NCHRP Report 350) “Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance of Highway Safety Features”, contracts with FHWA approved testing facilities to perform crash tests, evaluation of tests, and submittal of results to the Federal Highway Administration for review.
The Triton Barrier® system was tested to meet the impact criteria, requirements and guidelines of NCHRP Report 350. These tests, specifically set forth by FHWA, evaluate product performance by simulating those impacts outlined by NCHRP Report 350 involving a typical range of vehicles on our roadways, from lightweight cars (approx. 820kg [1800 lb.]) to full size pickup trucks (approx. 2000 kg [4400 lb.]) as specified by the FHWA. A product can be certified for multiple Test Levels. The Triton Barrier® is certified to the Test Level(s) as shown below:
Test Level I: 50 km/h [31 mph] Test Level II: 70 km/h [45 mph] Test Level III: 100 km/h [62 mph]
These FHWA directed tests are not intended to represent the performance of systems when impacted by every vehicle type or every impact condition existing on the roadway. This system is tested only to the test matrix criteria of NCHRP 350 as approved by FHWA.
Energy Absorption Systems does not represent nor warrant that the results of these controlled tests show that vehicle impacts with the products in other conditions would necessarily avoid injury to person(s) or property. Impacts that exceed the specifications of the system may not result in acceptable crash performance as outlined in NCHRP Report 350, relative to structural adequacy, occupant risk and vehicle trajectory. Energy Absorption Systems expressly disclaims any warrant or liability for injury or damage to persons or property resulting from any impact, collision, or harmful contact with products, other vehicles, or nearby hazards or objects by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the products were assembled by or in the presence of Energy Absorption Systems representatives or by third parties.
The Triton Barrier® system is intended to be deployed, delineated, and maintained in accordance with specific state and federal guidelines. However, the material is only intended to supplement delineation required by the Department of Transportation’s “Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices” (MUTCD). Design tables are provided in this Manual to aid in selecting the most appropriate product configuration for proper application to the site. The appropriate highway authority approved engineer should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the product. Careful evaluation of the site geometry, vehicle population type, speed, traffic direction and visibility are some of the elements that require evaluation for the proper selection of a safety appurtenance by the appropriate specifying highway authority.
After an impact occurs, the product must be repaired to its original condition as soon as possible. When a safety product is impacted, it is mandatory that the highway authority inspect all the components for damage and replace/repair components as necessary. If the system is not repairable, a complete system replacement is required.

Important Introductory Notes Proper deployment and maintenance of the Triton Barrier® system is critical to achieve performance under appropriate state and federal guidelines. Take the time to review this Manual, including the Limitations and Warnings, section thoroughly before performing the necessary work. Do not attempt to assemble any longitudinal Triton Barrier® without the proper plans and assembly Manual from the manufacturer. If you require additional information, or have questions about the Triton Barrier®, please contact Energy Absorption Systems Customer Service Department. See Customer Service Contacts on Page 3 of this Manual.
