Gore points, bridge piers, and exit ramp noses are fixed hazards, and a missing or already-crashed-into impact attenuator leaves the next vehicle to hit that spot with nothing to absorb the impact.
Impact attenuators are designed to crush or redirect on the first hit, which means many units need full replacement, not just repair, after a crash. A damaged unit left in place on I-15, I-80, I-70, and US-89 is a liability UDOT inspectors flag quickly.
RoadGuard installs and replaces MASH-tested impact attenuators across Utah, matched to the design speed and geometry of the hazard being protected.
Ideal Fencing Corp (IFC) delivers roadside safety work directly across Utah. IFC is 100% employee-owned, with the crews, equipment, and material inventory it takes to keep a Utah project moving through UDOT inspection.
RoadGuard installs and replaces impact attenuators, also called crash cushions, at gore points, bridge piers, exit ramp noses, and other fixed hazards across Utah.
Redirective attenuators guide a vehicle back into its travel lane on an angled hit, while non-redirective systems are built for hazards where redirection isn't the goal. RoadGuard specifies the right type for each site.
Every MASH-tested attenuator is rated for a specific speed range. RoadGuard confirms the unit installed matches the posted or design speed of the roadway it's protecting.
Most impact attenuators are designed to be sacrificial. RoadGuard provides fast replacement after a hit so the hazard isn't left unprotected any longer than necessary.
Impact attenuators are frequently installed alongside high-tension cable barrier and standard W-beam guiderail as part of a complete guiderail installation project.
