Fixing Centre at Civils 2007
Britpave member, Fixing Centre Ltd (FCL),
attended Civils 2007 which was held at Earls Court from 18-22 November. The Fixing Centre
have been instrumental in the research and
development of lighting column fixings that securely attach the lighting columns to the
concrete step barrier.
Fixing Centre Ltd’s main exhibit at the CIVILS 2007 show was a section of the Britpave Trough Wide CSB (TWCSB) Barrier complete with a 15m lighting column and an example of the SSR-170 Britpave CSB Transition Anchor.
The lighting column was fitted with SSR-128-VDP- TI Heavy Duty Lighting Column Anchors that have been developed and approved for use with both 12 and 15 metre lighting columns for both Britpave CSB / WCSB and TWCSB barrier systems. The SSR-128 anchor has been fatigue tested to 30,200,000 cycles.
Another feature for FCL at CIVILS was the formal launch of the SSR-SAS Approved Installer Scheme where specialist companies are trained and approved to drill, install and test the anchor. This offers the contractor the benefit that inevitably will reduce construction costs and reduces the number of sub-contractors required to complete the installation and ensure accurate anchor installation.
The barrier was supplied by Extrudakerb (Maltby Engineering) Ltd and the lighting column was supplied and erected by J McCann & Co Ltd who were both working on the M25 Project at the A2/M25 Junction.
