At the forefront of innovative and intelligent foundation engineering, the RETENTION SYSTEM enhances the use of passive safety posts and offers specifiers, operators and all road users accessible levels of road safety.
The European Standard EN12767:2007 (Passive Safety of Support Structures for Road Equipmemnt) states; 'the severities of accidents for vehicle occupants are affected by the performance of support structures for items of road equipment under impact. Based on safety considerations, these can be made in such a way that they detach or yield under vehicle impact'.
EN12767 specifies performance requirements for passively safe support structures for permanent road equipment. It both defines and limits the levels of occupant injury severity when impacting these structures. This important advancement recognies the unacceptable number of people killed or seriously injured in single vehicle collisions with street furniture. EN12767 and associated guidelines calls for all those involved in the design, construction and operation of roads to actively consider the use of passively safe street furniture including lighting columns, traffic signals and sign posts.
