Polymer Concrete Performance

QUAZITE traffic signal cabinet bases and pads are constructed of strong polymer concrete and reinforcedwith a heavy-weave fiberglass. Unlike concrete bases, polymer concrete bases are frangible and willbreak away when subjected to severe impact. This feature helps reduce the risk of serious injury orfatalities resulting from these incidents.

QUAZITE polymer concrete traffic signal cabinet bases and pads also resist UV rays, chemicals and waterabsorption. Concrete bases are susceptible to damage caused by freeze/thaw cycles. Thermoplasticfiberglass bases can become brittle and eventually crack when exposed to the weather. The durabilitythat QUAZITE provides means lower maintenance and life cycle cost.

Quick & Easy InstallationInstalling QUAZITE traffic signal cabinet bases and pads is easyand cost effective because they require no special equipment to setthe base. A backhoe is all that is necessary to lift the base intoplace. QUAZITE traffic single bases and pads also save time duringinstallation. Unlike poured-in- placed bases that take days to form,pour, set and remove the forms.

QUAZITE traffic signal cabinet bases and pads can be installedquickly, allowing the cabinet and equipment installation to beginimmediately after setting the base. Please see back of catalog forinstallation instructions.

4. Put eyebolts into lifting inserts on top of the base (4 bolts as shipped withthe foundation base).

5. Attach lifting chain or straps to bolts.

6. Lift and position base in to hole using a backhoe. Check plan for properorientation of box pad or foundation.

7. Place gravel in the base to a depth of approximately 6” to 8”.

12. Following these steps will eliminate movement or “heaving up” of the boxpad in unstable soil conditions.

13. Bolt Cabinet/Pedestal to box pad.

Installation for Flat Pads

1. The following installation procedure is the same for all sizes offoundation flat pads.

3. Dig recess for pad so that top surface of pad will be level withsurrounding area.

4. Level dirt around cable opening.

5. Level and tamp down dirt in the area to be occupied by thefoundation pad.

6. Backfill and tamp in trench area leading to cable opening.

7. Place pad in prepared, level area with opening in pad (throat) directlyover cable entry position.
