IIHS Expansion Project

Ruckersville, Virginia

IIHC Expansion Project | Portland Bolt

In early spring of 2013, ground was broken on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) expansion at its Ruckersville, Virginia campus. Researchers will use the new facility to conduct safety tests on passenger vehicles by performing impact tests and rating the vehicles based off their performance. The project includes a new 5 acre outdoor covered test track, new office space, new conference rooms, and technology upgrades. The outdoor test track is covered by a fabric roof structure which is fastened to high strength anchor rods embedded in concrete pylons.
