Trinity Highway, in compliance with AASHTO MASH, contracts with
FHWA approved and accredited testing facilities to perform and
evaluate crash tests in accordance with AASHTO MASH.
The SoftStop® System has been deemed eligible for reimbursement
by FHWA as meeting the requirements and guidelines of MASH. A
component of MASH eligibility requirements include a variety of crash
tests to evaluate product performance by simulating certain impact
conditions involving lightweight cars (approx. 1100 kg [2420 lb.]) and full
size pickup trucks (approx. 2270 kg [5000 lb.]).
The SoftStop® System is tested pursuant to the test matrix criteria of MASH
as designated by AASHTO and FHWA. The FHWA AASHTO tests are not
intended to represent the performance of systems when impacted by
every vehicle type or in every impact condition existing on the roadway.
Every departure from the roadway is a unique event.
Trinity Highway expressly disclaims any warranty or liability for injury or
damage to persons or property resulting from any impact, collision or
harmful contact with its products, other vehicles, or nearby hazards or
objects by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the products
were assembled in consultation with Trinity Highway or by third parties.
The SoftStop® System is intended to be assembled, delineated, and
maintained in accordance with specic state guidelines. It is the
responsibility of the highway authority specifying the use of a highway
product to select the most appropriate product conguration for its
site specications. A highway authority’s careful evaluation of the site
layout, vehicle population type and speed, trac direction, and visibility
are some of the elements that require evaluation in the selection of a
highway product. For example, kerbs could cause an untested eect on
an impacting vehicle.
After an impact occurs, the debris from the impact must be removed
from the area immediately and the specied highway product must be
evaluated and restored to its original specied condition or replaced as
the highway authority determines as soon as possible. Product selection,
approval, proper installation, and maintenance of any highway product is
the sole responsibility of the specifying highway authority.
Safety Alert Symbols appear throughout this manual
and indicate Danger, Warning, Important or Caution.
Failure to read and follow these warnings could result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Do not assemble, maintain, or repair the SoftStop®
System until you have read this Manual thoroughly and completely
understand it. Ensure that all Danger, Warning, Caution, and
Important statements within the Manual are completely followed.
Please call Ingal Civil Products on [phone] if you do not
understand any portion of these instructions or this manual.
WARNING: Safety measures incorporating appropriate trac
control devices and personal protective equipment (PPE) specied
by the highway authority must be used to protect all personnel
while at the assembly, maintenance, or repair site.
WARNING: Ensure that your assembly meets all appropriate
Manual on Uniform Trac Control Devices (“MUTCD”) and/or local
standards.
WARNING: Use only Trinity Highway or Ingal Civil parts that are
specied by Trinity Highway for use with the SoftStop® System
for assembling, maintaining, or repairing the SoftStop® System.
Do not utilise or otherwise comingle parts from other systems
even if those systems are other Trinity Highway systems. Such
congurations have not been tested, nor have they been approved
for use. Assembly, maintenance, or repairs using unspecied parts
or accessories is strictly prohibited. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious injury or death in the event of a vehicle
impact with such an UNACCEPTED system.
WARNING: Do NOT modify the SoftStop® System in any way.
IMPORTANT: Trinity Highway makes no recommendation whether
use or reuse of any part of the SoftStop® System is appropriate
or acceptable following an impact. It is the sole responsibility
of the local highway authority and its engineers to make that
determination. It is critical that you inspect the SoftStop® System
after assembly is complete to make certain that the instructions
provided in this Manual have been strictly followed.

The SoftStop® System is a tangent, single-sided, energy-absorbing, redirective and gating end terminal system that
state/specifying agency specify for use as specied by the appropriate state/specifying authority in conjunction with
W-beam guardrail on the shoulder or median of a roadway. The decision to specify the SoftStop® System for a particular
project is the responsibility of the state/specifying agency design engineer who must ensure that the most appropriate
end terminal has been selected for the specic site conditions.
Important: Do not attach the SoftStop® System directly to a rigid barrier (i.e. concrete barrier, wall or
bridge pier) without the use of a state/specifying agency approved transition.
Important: Ensure that the SoftStop® System assembly conforms to the local road design standards.
Important: Ingal Civil Products does not direct grading. Proper site grading must be accomplished
before assembly of the SoftStop® System in accordance with road controlling guidelines and
requirements. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death in the event of a
vehicle impact or collision.
3.0 Recommended Tools
4.0 SoftStop® System Site Preparation
Note: The above list of tools is a general recommendation only and should not be considered an exhaustive list.
Depending on specic site conditions and the complexity of the assembly (or repair) specied by the appropriate
highway authority, additional or fewer tools may be required. Decisions as to what tools are needed to perform the job
are entirely within the discretion of the specifying highway authority and the authority’s selected contractor performing
the assembly of the system at the authority’s specied site.

SoftStop®Tangent End Terminal
5.0 SoftStop® System Oset
Requirements
The SoftStop® System is a tangent guardrail end treatment
that is assembled parallel to the edge of shoulder. At the
sole discretion of the state/specifying agency design
engineer, the SoftStop® System may be oset away from
the shoulder over the length of the entire system (from
centre of last splice location of SoftStop® System to center
of Post 0) per the following designer approved osets:
Test Level 1
(TL-1)
Test Level 2
(TL-2)
Test Level
3(TL-3)
152 mm
Maximum
305 mm
Maximum
610 mm
Maximum
Caution: Under no circumstances shall
the rail within the SoftStop® System be
curved.
5.1 Oset Requirements Within A Curve
When the guardrail is terminated within a curve (convex
or concave) and a SoftStop® System is attached, the
following instructions must be followed to ensure proper
oset requirements within a curve for the SoftStop®
System are met. If the conditions below cannot be
achieved, it is recommended that the guardrail be
extended past the curve until the conditions can be
met. The oset requirements in a curve are calculated
for the TL-3 SoftStop® System. If assembling a TL-1 or
TL-2 SoftStop® System, an overall straight length of
15.48 m must be obtained (SoftStop® System + W-Beam
Guardrail) for calculating oset requirements in a curve.
Note: Using an oset closer to 0 m on tighter curves
(radii) will cause the terminal to encroach on to the
shoulder.

6.0 SoftStop® System Post Placement
Danger: Ensure all above & below ground
utilities are located, markedand identied
prior to using auger or post driving
equipment in accordance with local
specifying agency guidelines. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
6.1 Determine Post Locations
Place a level or straight edge on the face of downstream
guardrail (i.e. trac side) to the nished grade to create a
reference line for face of guardrail. The reference line will
be used to determine post location for the last post of
the SoftStop®System.
The last post of the SoftStop® System will be located 272
mm from face of downstream guardrail to back of the
last post of the SoftStop® System to accommodate an
190mm oset block and be spaced 1905 mm (typical)
on center from the rst post of the W-beam system (see
drawing below). Refer to the post placement diagrams in
this manual for remaining post locations.
The SoftStop® System posts may be inserted into the soil
using an auger or impact hammer pile driver used for the
placement of guardrail posts. If an auger is used, ensure
diameter is large enough to allow for proper compaction
of agency approved ll material. All SoftStop® System
posts are to be assembled plumb. Proper compaction
must be accomplished for all posts in accordance with
state/specifying agency guidelines.
If rock is encountered at post locations 2-8, refer to the
local specifying agency guidelines and the AASHTO
Roadside Design Guide for requirements for embedment
depth into the rock and size of the hole. If rock is
encountered at post locations 0-1, auger a hole in the
rock large enough for full post embedment and proper
compaction of approved ll material.
If rigid pavement (e.g. concrete or asphalt) of any
thickness is encountered at post locations 0-8, ensure
a proper “leave-out” area is provided around the posts ,
refer Figures 6 and 7. This is lled with road controlling
agency approved backll material.
*Grout ll material must have a 28-day compressive
strength of 120 psi (0.85 MPa) or less.
