Until now, signs and street furniture have
always been set in concrete. Fine until they need to be moved or
replaced - when the costs start mounting. Jackhammer and excavate,
remove the old pole and install the new pole, infill with concrete
and make good, repair paving slabs or surrounding surfaces and
remove the hardcore waste.
The Poletech system is vandal resistant and
wonderfully simple. A conventional concrete foundation supports
the galvanised steel base unit. This is fitted with a precision
moulded polymer sleeve matched specifically to the pole size and
shape.
Replacement simply involves jacking out the
old or damaged pole and sliding in a new one. A process which
takes the average crew 10 minutes.
We have never known a correctly installed
Poletech System to need replacement after collision. The unique
impact absorbing system will survive without damage because the
polymer sleeve works with the special flanges of the base unit to
absorb initial shock and distribute the load through the concrete
base.
Once installed, the Poletech system pays
back with countless benefits.
