Bass Rock

Drive safe where the embankment is missing

Bass Rock is a solution designed for barriers installed on small or weak embankments, where the wheels of vehicles that have skidded off the road may not find adequate support, increasing the risk of leaving the carriageway.

As an alternative to traditional breakwater reconstruction, which is often costly and complex, Bass Rock allows for rapid and cost effective intervention, integrating two essential functions into a single system:
» breakwater extension;
» reinforcement of safety barrier posts.

Why it is important

In the presence of sloping terrain, with limited space behind the barrier or unstable ground, the correct interaction between the vehicle and the barrier is crucial for the effectiveness of the restraint system. Bass Rock meets this need by providing stable support for the wheels of vehicles that have veered off course, helping to increase safety levels without the need for invasive infrastructure work.

How it works

Bass Rock is an innovative system consisting of a platform that extends the horizontal surface behind the barrier, promoting the correct redirection of vehicles and reducing the risk of overturning. The synergy between the extension of the support surface and the reinforcement of the posts allows the limitations of traditional solutions to be overcome.

Thanks to direct anchoring or integration with solutions such as A.To.S., Bass Rock:
» improves wheel support during impact;
» increases the overall structural stability of the barrier;
» improves the performance of road barriers in accordance with EN1317, ensuring controlled vehicle redirection and reducing the severity of impact.
A targeted, effective, and safe solution designed for complex infrastructure contexts and small areas, reducing intervention times and costs compared to traditional solutions. Bass Rock is patent-protected and adaptable to different ground conditions.
