Safe Systems Pole

The very new and world famous safe systems pole can be used for all utility, telegraph, transmission and lighting poles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From 2008, John Jarvie of APEES Marlan in conjunction with Mr Michael Griffiths have been developing and crash testing utility poles which are fit for purpose whilst being capable of absorbing vehicular impact which would allow vehicle occupants a much higher statistical level of survival or minimal injury from an impact which has not been possible to date.

The crash testing has been undertaken at the Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW (RTA) testing facilities in Sydney, Australia, a modern world class vehicle crash testing facility that brings together all testing services and expertise.

The Safe Systems Pole utilises an existing standard Fibre Reinforced Polymer (or Composite) pole, Powertrusion pole from Creative Pultrusions, which has been specifically modified and fabricated.

Vehicular Bridge

This fiber reinforced polymer vehicular bridge has been installed and load rated for 15,000 lbs. at the Philadelphia Zoo, Philadelphia, PA. The bridge was designed in modular parts to span 10, 20, 30 and 40 ft. over moated areas at the zoo, providing access for earth moving equipment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pedestrian Bridges

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fiber-reinforced polymer components are ideal for use in pedestrian bridges, especially in areas where the surroundings cannot be disturbed. Pedestrian bridges as long as 80 feet have replaced steel and wooden bridges. High-strength components are lightweight and can be carried to the site, eliminating the need for heavy installation equipment. Corrosion resistant, low maintenance, and inherent color characteristics make FRP the choice material for pedestrian bridges.
