Quazite offers work pads to accompany
all of the traffic signal bases. If the cabinet is to be
installed on a surface other than a sidewalk, a work pad
may be necessary to provide stable, dry footing.
An alternative option to using a flat work
pad in front of the traffic signal base is to use an enclosure
instead. An enclosure serves as a splice box and the work pad
also provides a skid resistant walking surface. Quazite
offers a wide variety of enclosure sizes and depths to choose
from. Your local QUAZITE® representative is available to
assist you in selecting the appropriate enclosure and options
to suit your application.
Many Departments of Transportation choose QUAZITE® traffic
signal bases when they have projects requiring new and retrofit
installations of traffic control cabinets. QUAZITE® traffic
signal bases are less expensive than concrete to install, can
be quickly installed by employees, can be relocated and can
reduce potential injury and/or liability if struck by a vehicle.
In this particular application (photo right),
the DOT had previously poured concrete in place at an approximate
cost of $1,000 for each traffic signal foundation. The installation
process using concrete could take up to a week or more depending
on weather and involved having to schedule around other work
crews. The cost of the QUAZITE® base was $500 (1/2 the
cost of the alternative method) and installation time was reduced
to one-half day.
