The ADIEM system is a proven energy absorbing crash cushion that has been used by state and local agencies for many years. One of the advantages of the ADIEM system is that it can be used in both temporary and permanent applications. The narrow design makes it ideal for use protecting blunt ends of K-Rail and can be relaocated quickly as the railing is moved.
Agencies like the versatility of the ADIEM with its ability to be installed on either concrete, asphalt or compacted soil. In addition to its installation advantages, the ADIEM is available through the Western United States. Contact us today for more details.
