Safety Post and Foundation Test Equipment

The Vehicle Restraint System on a highway must accertain a required rigidity and maintain it for the whole of its service life.
 

The Hydrajaws Safety Post and Foundation Push Tester is designed to apply hydraulic pressure on a VRS safety post. This pressure is applied in increments through the use of a hand pump and its attached gauge. The distance between a set vertical datum and the post is then recorded at each stage.

 

When calculated, these recorded measurements will determine whether the post, spacing and footings used are adequate. Using the manufacturer’s recommendations, a site engineer will determine the frequency of these tests.
