T.H.O.R. reaches milestone of 1,000 dynamic tests on site
From 2016 to now, we have carried out 1,000 on-site tests, which made it possible to verify the reliability of the supporting soil directly at the site of the installation of the safety devices and enabled a comparison with the relative values of the crash tests performed.
T.H.O.R. – Testing Head Over Road was born in 2015 and today, with the T.H.O.R. 3 evolution, it is possible to test, by means of dynamic impact tests and through the use of a dynamic propulsion system, the reliability of the interaction between the soil and the post of the barrier on site, allowing comparison with the results obtained in the test field, with the same device.
Main features of T.H.O.R. 3:
- Compactness
- Handling
- Certainty of result
- Speed of impact variable between 7 m/s and 14 m/s
- Impact energy set between 7 kj and 12 kj
