On the Roads-Three Collisions, Zero Injuries: The Ermes End Terminal’s Safety Triumph
Safety is paramount in the fast-paced network of UK motorways. We at SMA are proud to have supplied the 𝐄𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐬 End terminal, a state-of-the-art road safety system designed to protect lives during collisions, to our trusted partner, Highway Care Ltd, with Arbus Limited as their valued customer.
Stalled on a specially engineered concrete pad by Arbus, selected for its robustness, the system was thoroughly tested not just once or twice but three times.
The Initial Installation and 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡: Shortly after installation, the terminal faced its first real challenge, containing an errant vehicle. The system performed flawlessly, safeguarding the vehicle’s passengers from serious injuries. The terminal required on-site replacement, while the SmartRaft concrete pad provided by Arbus remained intact, enabling a swift and efficient restoration.
A 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡 followed by a 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 one: Another collision later, the bundle of SmartRaft and Emes once again proved its effectiveness. But before it could be repaired, the system was hit again. Ermes absorbed both impacts and ensured the safety of all involved, showcasing the reliability and strength of both the terminal and foundation.
The Ermes End Terminal is a testament to the power of effective safety engineering. With SMA’s commitment to quality products and Arbus’s expert installation, we continue to deliver on our shared promise to protect lives on the road.
