CASS® CEN System

The CASS® CEN System assists in redirecting errant vehicles that could otherwise traverse the median of a roadway. The post employs a unique wave-shaped slot, which works in tandem with a strategically positioned,  widened cable spread designed to help restrain various types of vehicles that impact the system within NCHRP Report 350 and EN 1317 crash test standards.
