Absorb-M Crash Cushion

The ABSORB-M is a non-redirective, freestanding, gating crash cushion that shields the exposed ends of concrete barriers. With its water-filled modules and tension straps, it absorbs energy from vehicle impacts. Plus, since it doesn’t require ground anchors, it can be quickly set up, moved, and retrieved, making it a perfect choice for work zones that need flexible, temporary protection.

Features

Proven Performance on Major Infrastructure Projects

Sentinel Impact Tracker in use on a major road for monitoring barrier and attenuator impacts.

The Sentinel Impact Tracker is used on major road projects where a fast response to barrier and impact attenuator strikes is critical.

On the Fitzsimons Lane Upgrade in Melbourne’s northeast, BMD Group fitted the Absorb-M crash cushion to temporary concrete barriers to protect workers and motorists. When a vehicle hit the Absorb-M, the Sentinel Impact Tracker sent an instant alert, allowing the team to locate, inspect and address the damaged unit within hours. The combination of a proven crash cushion and real-time monitoring kept the site safe and compliant throughout the works.
