1.1. System Overview The Defender 100LDS™ is a steel safety barrier that is made of hot dip galvanised steel and is intended for use as a temporary barrier system for the protection of workers and motorists within and through a work zone. The barrier is anchored to the road surface every 9.15 metres.
• Defender 100LDS™, anchored every second barrier at a maximum of 9.15m between anchors with TAU-II End Terminals at each end with a minimum of 20 barriers between terminals. Figure 1.2 below shows the general arrangement of the Defender Barrier™ System before test 3-11.
Proper site design and deployment of the Defender 100LDS™ is essential to assure performance. If you have any questions about the deployment of the Defender 100LDS™ please contact Safe Barriers before deploying the barrier.
In the case of the Defender 100LDS™ system, this measurement is also equal to the design deflection that has been obtained during the required crash testing of the product.
2.2.1. The Anchored System Installation The Defender 100LDS™ has been tested on 150mm asphaltic concrete over / 150mm granular subbase. The system is anchored to the road surface using two steel ground anchor pins, each 30mm x 500mm, in every second barrier to a maximum of 9.15 metres between anchor locations.
Crash cushions can be used for both uni-directional and bi-directional traffic flows. The TAU- II® crash cushion has been crash tested for use with the Defender 100LDS™ system. Figure 2.2 below shows the TAU-II® crash cushion. The connections and transition details can be found within Appendix B.
2.3.1. Point of Need The tested length of Defender 100LDS™ is twenty (20) barrier segments or 78.0m. The TAU-II end terminal is a Non-Gating re-directive terminal which establishes the length of need location at the nose of the TAU-II end terminal. If an installation is to be less than 78 m, contact Safe Barriers for further advice.
2.4.2. Anchorage The Defender 100LDS™ System is anchored at every second barrier to a maximum of 9.15m between anchor locations using two symmetrically installed 30mm x 500 mm steel ground anchor pins. The pins are placed in the pre-cut slot in the barrier drain at the base of the Defender 100 LDS barrier.

3.5.3 Post Impact Pin Relocation After an impact into the Defender 100LDS™ any pin with visible movement in the asphalt surface should be relocated to the anchor location nearest to the previous anchor location. 3.5.4 End of Useful Life All Defender Barrier™ are made of recyclable mild steel. We recommend sending the barriers to your local steel recycler at the end of useful life.
