Equipment for Traffic Signal Poles
POLETECH Traffic Signal foundations can be used in conjunction with all major manufacturers of passively safe poles, including Spectrolyte/ TMP and Jerol etc.
There are three types of demountable Permanent Underground Bases (PUBs) for Traffic Signals:
The POLETECH Rotaduct
The 'ROTADUCT' is commonly used when the engineer wants to feed the cable directly from the base of the pole.
The unit is supplied with a fitted duct entry at the base, which can rotate a full 360º and there is a substantial pole anti-rotation device housed in a small vandal resistant chamber, which can be accessed from ground level. 'ROTADUCT' can be manufactured in all the usual sizes and at any planting depth as required. When used in a Passively-Safe environment a cable access box is required to secure the cable leading to the Break-Away electrical connector
The POLETECH 'RHINO'
The 'RHINO' is commonly used when installation space is at a premium and any cable access box or draw pit must be sited at a distance from the base of the pole.
The cable access is via a lateral slot in the 'RHINO' which corresponds to the slot in the signal pole. There is a substantial vandal resistance anti-rotation device accessible at ground level and all units are fully demountable. A full range of sizes is available at various planting depths. When used in a Passively Safe installation a cable access box and Break-Away electrical connector are required.
THE POLETECH CAB Unit
The 'CAB' unit is used when a pole box is required at the base of the pole. The pole box can house spare cable and usually contains a POLETECH waterproof Break-Away electrical connector when Passive Safety is a requirement, allowing rapid removal and replacement of the signal pole. Using this unit, a traffic signal can be reinstated in just five minutes.
