Approved Temporary Barrier
Refer to Standard Construction Drawings RM-4.1 and RM-4.2 for generic Portable Concrete Barrier.
Any barrier (proprietary or generic) that is not Report 350 compliant was subject to a phase out period and was to be removed from service by January 1, 2008. ODOT required marking all compliant generic barrier with "350". This office will not accept NCHRP 350 barriers from other states for use on ODOT projects. These other products have different shapes (F or NJ), cross section (widths), or connection types. When intermingled with ODOT's standard barrier, potential snag points are created when an impacting vehicle travels from one segment to a dissimilar adjacent segment.
The following products may be used as an equivalent to ODOT's Generic Portable Concrete Barrier.
J-J Hooks PCB
The NJ Shape Portable Concrete Barrier with J-J Hooks is a proprietary "equivalent" to ODOT's generic NJ shape PCB. The J-J Hooks product is a proprietary barrier manufactured to Easi-Set's specifications. J-J Hooks barrier meets NCHRP Report 350 TL-3 criteria if manufactured with a third rebar (sometime after April 1999). Baxter Precast Products and Norwalk Concrete Industries stamped "350" on all complying J-J Hook barriers as well. It is not known how J-J Hooks barriers manufactured by out-of-state licensees identified compliant segments. J-J Hooks website

Minimum Deflection Drawing - Each barrier segment is anchored for drop-offs or zero deflection.
Anchoring Drawing
Vulcan Barrier - portable steel longitudinal barrier - NCHRP-350 compliant, approved alternate to PCB
Vulcan Barrier Installation Manual (with ODOT markups)
- ODOT requires the ends of the Vulcan Barrier to be anchored in order to maintain acceptable deflection limits
- Ends must be shielded or terminated with an approved end treatment
- ODOT Length of Need requirements are calculated by designers per the Location and Design Manual Vol. 1 Figure 602-1
- Triton is not an ODOT approved end treatment
Movable Barrier
Quickchange Barrier, from Barrier Systems, Inc. uses a specially designed vehicle to move barrier runs upwards of 26 feet laterally, opening traffic lanes in a matter of minutes. It is a good product for reducing delays from lane closures in long duration work zones, and in permanent situations where there are high directional traffic volumes.
This movable barrier uses Barrier System's
ABSORB 350 as its crashworthy end treatment. The ABSORB 350 system is a non-redirective, gating crash cushion that can be used with the Quickchange Barrier
