RETENTION SYSTEM – reasons to use it.

• Emergency repair/maintenance

• Congested services

Where site conditions prevent the required foundation depth being achieved, we have a Shallow Foundation option that will allow an EN40 compliant foundation in a 300mm deep foundation.

RETENTION SYSTEM – reasons to use it.

• Emergency repair/maintenance• Congested services

• Access Control

Pole based infrastructure housed in RETENTION SYSTEM units can easily be temporarily removed for civic events, temporary access or seasonal requirements.

RETENTION SYSTEM – reasons to use it.

• Emergency repair/maintenance• Congested services• Access Control

• Wide load routes

Using RETENTION SYSTEM units on wide load routes means you can quickly and easily place poles in a horizontal position, out of the way of the passing wide load.

RETENTION SYSTEM – reasons to use it.

• Emergency repair/maintenance• Congested services• Access Control• Wide load routes

• Project planning

The civils contractor can install a RETENTION SYSTEM unit and complete his work up to surface level without installing the pole. This separates the civils and electrics trades and makes the project easier to organise.

RETENTION SYSTEM – reasons to use it.

• Emergency repair/maintenance• Congested services• Access Control• Wide load routes• Project planning

• Pedestrian Safety

Because the RETENTION SYSTEM sits flush with the pavement surface (no flange or threaded bar sticking up), the pavement is safe for use even when a pole isn’t installed.

RETENTION SYSTEM – reasons to use it.

• Emergency repair/maintenance• Congested services• Access Control• Wide load routes• Project planning• Pedestrian Safety

• Infrastructure future proofing

With ITS technology developing so rapidly, the ability to temporarily remove poles in order to run extra cabling and add extra devices could be really useful.

RETENTION SYSTEM – reasons to use it.

The most compelling reason for using the RETENTION SYSTEM must be the cost saving effect they have on maintenance budgets.

RETENTION SYSTEM – testimonial.Knockdowns - Correctly installed the retention socket is able to withstand a vehicle collision meaning that only the signal pole needs replacement, thus reducing civils costs and enabling a more rapid replacement of the pole. This represents potential savings in the cost of remedial works recharged to each district.Peter HeathBury Metropolitan Borough Council. U.K.
