INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A SAFER FUTURE

ERMES P4 END TERMINAL

End terminals are applied to the end of safety barriers to prevent barrier ends posing a risk of injury to motorists if they unfortunately crash with one.

 

There are three versions of the Ermes End Terminal for varying speed performances including: Ermes P1 - 50 km/h, Ermes P2 - 80 km/h, Ermes P4 - 110 km/h.

​

The Ermes P4 End Terminal offers the performance of a crash cushion at the price of a P4 terminal.  Double-sided and made entirely from steel, the Ermes End Terminal family provide essential energy absorbing elements. They are repairable, just like a crash cushion, which reduces both maintenance cost and time.

 

Ermes End Terminals are shorter lengths than competitor systems, so where space is limited Highway Care can install where others can't.

​

The Ermes End Terminal family offer flexible installation options for a number of surfaces including soil, asphalt and concrete.​ The Ermes P4 End Terminal offers best in class performance, with D1.1 and Z1 performance.
