Big Sandy: Impact Attenuator Sand Barrels

  • Big Sandy is identical and unchanged as a crash cushion when meeting NCHRP 350, TL-3 and MASH eligible.

  • Plastic barrels are engineered to break upon impact, resulting in proper attenuation of the impacting vehicle

  • Three (3) barrels are used to create all weights required in current standard array plans

  • Combination barrel utilizes a pedestal base and 200, 400, 700 lbs top half barrel to obtain weights without using shelves or cone inserts - eliminates leaking sand

  • Simple fill barrel to the molded-in fill line to obtain the correct weight. The molded-in fill line makes external verification of weights easy

  • Reinforced lip prevents barrels from deforming when filled and provides a quick and secure lid fit
