Crash Cushion Procurement Specification Checklist Dubai

Selecting a crash cushion should start with the site hazard and project conditions, not only with product availability. A clear procurement specification helps contractors compare suitable systems and avoid receiving equipment that does not fit the site.

HMJ Contracting supports crash cushion solutions in Dubai.

1. Define the Hazard

State whether the system will protect:

• a barrier end,
• fixed object,
• temporary work-zone hazard,
• gore or split,
• other exposed obstruction.

2. Confirm Available Space

Measure the available length, width and lateral clearance. Some systems need more recovery or installation space than others.

3. Identify Road Environment

Record the road type, traffic speed, lane configuration and whether the installation is temporary or permanent.

4. Define Performance Requirements

The project specification should identify the required performance level or accepted standard where applicable.

5. Check Barrier Interface

If the crash cushion connects to an existing barrier, verify that the transition and interface are compatible.

6. Review Foundation and Anchoring

Confirm the available surface, slab or foundation condition and whether anchoring is required.

7. Plan Installation Access

Consider lifting, delivery, lane closure, traffic management and working space.

8. Include Spare Parts and Replacement Needs

For high-risk locations, identify critical replacement components or complete replacement availability.

9. Require Documentation

Request product information, installation instructions, inspection guidance and relevant compliance documentation.

10. Confirm Project Duration

Temporary projects may benefit from rental or reusable solutions, while permanent applications may require a different procurement approach.
