Crash barrier test capabilities

Crashlab’s purpose designed and built crash barrier test facility is world-class and has been used in almost 700 barrier tests to date.

The indoor facility is fully enclosed and features a 180-metre concrete runway, built to tolerances of within +/- 3 millimetres end to end.

Crash test

A movable 105-tonne crash barrier is located mid way along the runway, with controlled environment rooms to ensure the pre-test preparation and condition of vehicles is maintained.

Crashlab provides services for:

Vehicle and component manufacturers;

Government regulators and road safety authorities;

Vehicle importers; and

Automotive engineers.

Crashlab can also undertake safety, compliance and performance testing, either to established standards or to your engineering requirements.
