Q UAD T REND ® 350 S YSTEM THE END TREATMENT FOR ROADSIDE CONCRETE BARRIERS
OVERVIEW
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The QuadTrend 350 System is a revolutionary system designed to protect the ends of concrete barriers as a gating, redirective end treatment. The QuadTrend 350 system consists of a series of Quad-Beam TM fender panels, slip bases, a tension strap, a redirective cable and sand-filled boxes.
Attaches directly to rigid barrier ends, bridge rails and abutments.
MEETS NCHRP 350 TL-3 REDIRECTIVE, GATING PERFORMANCE The QuadTrend 350 System successfully meets NCHRP 350 as a redirective, gating end treatment. During a head-on impact, the system directs the nose of the vehicle away from the hard point. For angle impacts, the vehicle is redirected back onto the roadway and away from the hazard. As a gating system, the QuadTrend 350 System requires sufficient clear zone behind the system.
High reusability—most major components are reusable after a design impact. Shares components with QuadGuard System, reducing inventory costs. Low initial cost. The QuadTrend 350 System uses strategically placed sand containers to help dissipate energy once a vehicle has impacted the system.

The FHWA recommends that gating end terminals have a minimum traversable clear zone of 22.5 m x 6 m (75’ x 20’) directly behind the terminal. This area should be clear of trees, poles, drop-offs, oncoming traffic and other hazards that a vehicle might encounter when it gates behind the terminal after an angle impact at or near the nose of the system.
