The QuadGuard®M10 is intended t
project engineer
o be assembled, delineated, and maintained within specific
state and federal guidelines. It is important for the specifying the use of a
highway product to select the most appropriate product configuration for site specifications. The
customer should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the product. Careful
evaluation of site layout, traffic speed/type, direction, and visibility are some of the elements that
require evaluation by the project engineer in the selection of a highway product. For example,
curbs could cause an untested effect on an impacting vehicle.
After an impact occurs, the debris from the impact should be removed from the area immediately
and the specified highway product should be evaluated and restored to its original specified
condition or replaced as the project engineer determines as soon as possible.

System Overview
The QuadGuard®M10 is a re-directive, non-gating crash cushion for roadside features of
24” [610 mm] or greater in width with use of approved transitions. It consists of energy-absorbing
cartridges surrounded by a framework of Quad-Beam Fender Panels.
The QuadGuard®M10 utilizes two types of cartridges in a “staged” configuration that are designed
and tested to address vehicles as defined by MASH for both lighter cars and heavier, high center-
of-gravity vehicles.
Impact Performance
Inspect Shipping
Check the received parts against the shipping list supplied with the system before deploying the
QuadGuard®M10. Make sure all parts have been received (p. 38 - 39).
Important: The Manufacturer’s Drawing Package supplied with the QuadGuard®
M10 must be used with these instructions for proper assembly and should take
precedence over these general instructions.
Warning: Do NOT modify the QuadGuard®M10 in any way.
The six (6) Bay QuadGuard®M10 has successfully passed the requirements stipulated in MASH
with both the light car and pickup trucks at speeds of up to 100 kph [62 mph] at redirection angles
up to 25 degrees.
The three (3) Bay QuadGuard®M10 has successfully passed the requirements stipulated in
MASH with both the light car and pickup trucks at speeds of up to 70 kph [44 mph] at redirection
angles up to 25 degrees.
During head-on impact testing, within MASH criteria, the QuadGuard®M10 has been shown to
telescope rearward to absorb the energy of impact. When impacted from the side, within the
applicable MASH criteria, it has been shown to redirect the vehicle back toward its original travel
path and away from the highway feature.
Important: Trinity Highway makes no recommendation whether use or
reuse of any part of the system is appropriate or acceptable following an
impact. It is the sole responsibility of the project engineer to make that
determination. It is critical that you inspect this product after assembly is
complete to make certain that the instructions provided in this manual have
been strictly followed.

Important: Trinity Highway makes no recommendation whether use or
reuse of any part of the system is appropriate or acceptable following an
impact. It is the sole responsibility of the project engineer to make that
determination. It is critical that you inspect this product after assembly is
complete to make certain that the instructions provided in this manual have
been strictly followed.
Note: The provided list of tools is a general recommendation and should not be
considered an extensive list. Depending on specific site conditions and the complexity of
the assembly , the required tools may vary. Decisions as to what tools are needed to
perform the job are entirely the responsibility of the selected contractor performing the
assembly of the system at the specified assembly site.

Site Preparation/Foundation
A QuadGuard
®
M10, for permanent applications, should be assembled on an existing or freshly
placed and cured concrete base (28 MPa [4000 psi] minimum). Location and orientation of the
concrete base and attenuator must comply with project plans or as otherwise determined by the
local highway authority.
Warning:
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure proper site grading for
the QuadGuard
®
M10 placement as dictated by the state or specifying agency
pursuant to the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide.
Caution: Accurate placement of all steel rebar is critical to avoid interference with
the concrete anchor bolts.
Important: Systems mounted on asphalt must be replaced and mounted on
fresh, undisturbed asphalt if more than 10% of anchors are found to be loose,
broken, or show signs of pull out. If 10% or fewer anchors are damaged, replace
the damaged anchors in the existing asphalt. Anchor bolts used on systems
mounted on asphalt must be inspected every 6 months. Review Maintenance and
Repair Instructions and Post-Impact Instructions (pp. 35-38).

FOR CLARITY)
Recommended dimension and reinforcement specifications for new concrete foundations are
provided in Trinity Highway concrete foundation drawings, supplied with the system. The system
may be assembled on a non-reinforced concrete roadway (minimum 200 mm [8”] thick).
Deployment cross-slope shall not exceed 8% and should not twist more than 2% over the length
of the system; the foundation surface shall have a light broom finish.
Warning: Location of the Backup in relation to nearby objects will affect the
operation of the attenuator. Upon impact, the Fender Panels telescope rearward
and extend beyond the rigid Backup as much as 765 mm [30”]. Position the Backup
so that the rear ends of the last Fender Panels are a minimum of 765 mm [30”]
forward of objects that would otherwise interfere with movement of the rearmost
Fender Panels. Failure to comply with this requirement is likely to result in system
performance which has not been crash tested pursuant to MASH criteria and may
also cause component damage which will necessitate maintenance or
replacement of the system.

(“P.C.C.”), 152 mm [6”]layer of asphalt over 152 mm [6”]layer of subbase, or 200 mm [8”]layer
of asphalt with no subbase.
Warning: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that your assembly
procedure meets all appropriate Safe Work Australia, WorkSafe NZ, or state &
territory authorities standards.

Trinity Highway Approved Adhesive Anchoring System
A Trinity Highway approved adhesive anchoring system is required to securely anchor crash
cushions. Each approved adhesive kit contains adhesive, studs, nuts and washers. Both vertical
and horizontal assemblies are possible using an approved adhesive anchoring system.
Vertical Anchors
Note: Read all Trinity Highway approved adhesive instructions before starting.
1) Prepare the Concrete Foundation
Warning: Do not allow anchoring adhesive to contact skin or eyes. See material
safety data sheet supplied with adhesive kit for first-aid procedures. Use only in
well-ventilated area. Do not use near open flame.
Warning: It is the responsibility of the installer to maintain a safe work area
including the use of standard work zone safety equipment & PPE: gloves, safety-
toe shoes, and eye / ear protection.
The anchor bolts (studs) that anchor the QuadGuard®M10 Backup and/or Monorail sections
to the concrete foundation must be those shipped in the kit or of high strength steel (120,000
psi [830 MPa] minimum tensile strength or equal). These studs must be set in minimum
4000 psi [28 MPa] concrete. Allow the concrete to cure a minimum of seven days before
applying anchoring adhesive.
2) Drill Boreholes
Anchoring Information
Stud Size: Orientation Bit Size Minimum Depth Torque Medium
Important: When mounting on asphalt, initial torque shall be as shown
above. Due to the properties of asphalt, anchors may loosen over time. For
this reason Trinity Highway recommends anchoring to asphalt only at
temporary locations. It is recommended to re-torque anchors in asphalt
every six (6) months to the proper initial torque specified.
Use the Monorail(s) and Tension Strut Backup as drilling templates. Use a rotary hammer drill
to drill the boreholes 22 mm [7/8”]diameter to the recommended depth. See the approved
adhesive instructions provided with adhesive kit. Check ensure each borehole is drilled to the
proper depth and aligned with the part to be anchored per Anchoring Information table.

ingalcivil.com.au 16 Revision E April 2021
Caution: It is the responsibility of the installer to consult Safe Work
Australia,WorkSafe NZ, or state & territory authorities for debris removal
from borehole(s) and use Trinity Highway approved adhesive to achieve
optimum tensile strength. Do not use diamond drill bits for drilling boreholes.

3) Clean the Boreholes
Note: Use of the Trinity Highway approved vacuum drilling equipment is authorized to replace
the blowing and brushing requirement of Step 3.
4) Apply Approved Adhesive
Fill the borehole 100% full.
Caution: Fill borehole 100% full so it is even with the pavement surface per
manufacturer’s instructions.
5) Add the Washers and Nuts
Place a flat washer onto the stud then thread a nut on until the end of
the stud is flush with the nut (Figure 9).
6) Insert Studs in Boreholes and Wait for Adhesive to Cure
Push the stud down through the part to be anchored and into the
borehole.
Caution: Do not disturb or load the stud until the approved
adhesive material has fully cured (reference instructions
supplied with the approved adhesive kit).
7) Torque the Nuts
Once the adhesive has fully cured, torque the nut to the adhesive
manufacturer’s recommended values.
Anchor Assembly Cautions
1) Steel rebar
If steel rebar is encountered while drilling an anchor bolt borehole, apply one of the following
solutions:
A) Use a rebar drill bit for the rebar only and then switch back to the concrete bit to finish
drilling into the underlying concrete until the proper borehole depth is reached.
Caution: Do not drill through rebar without first obtaining permission to do so
from the project engineer.
B) Drill a new borehole down at an angle past the rebar to the proper depth. Anchor the
stud by completely filling both boreholes with an approved adhesive.
Figure 9
Vertical Application
(Before Applied Torque)
ingalcivil.com.au 17 Revision E April 2021
Blow the concrete dust from the borehole using oil-free compressed air. Thoroughly brush it
with a 22mm [7/8”]diameter steel bristle tube brush and then blow it out again. If the
borehole is wet, completely flush it with water while brushing and then blow it clean to
remove all water using oil-free compressed air.

Horizontal Anchors
The horizontal approved adhesive kit is the same as the vertical kit.
Caution: Fill borehole 100% full so it is even with the vertical concrete surface
per manufacturer’s instructions.
1) Follow the instructions supplied with your approved adhesive kit
Apply approved adhesive to each anchor per instructions.
2) Add the Washers and Nuts
Put washer and nut on stud so the nut is flush with end of stud.
3) Insert each Stud with Washer and Nut into Borehole
Push stud with washer and nut into borehole.
Important: The stud should be flush with the top of the nut in both vertical and
horizontal applications prior to tightening (Figure 10).
Caution: Do not disturb or load the stud until the approved adhesive material has
hardened (reference approved adhesive kit instructions for hardening times).
4) Torque the nuts
Once the adhesive has fully cured, torque nut(s) to the approved adhesive manufacturing
specification.
