Pexco says it has raised the bar for high-performance channeliser posts with the introduction of its City Post model GD Glue Down


City Post GD - the latest addition to the City Post family - features the same sleek profile, polyurethane construction and quick, sharp, impact rebound.The pinwheel design of the base enhances post retention, says 301 Pexco. The City Post GD Glue Down’s exceptional performance was recently proven by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute in a test sponsored by the 2697 Florida Department of Transportation.

The testing institute’s independent testing sought to establish new minimum standards for managed lane applications. Pexco said that this state-level DOT-sponsored event was the first head-to-head testing ever at an accredited third party test facility to determine the highest performing posts on the market.

Of the seven products tested from four different manufacturers, Pexco’s City Posts emerged as the top performers, with the new City Post GD testing 222% higher than the minimum impact standard recommended by researchers. All posts survived well over 100 impacts at 112kph. The one-piece construction posts need no drilling and thanks to their self-adhesive quality they can be glued down on both concrete and asphalt. One-piece construction means no assembly is required and there are also no springs to fail.

Pexco’s Davidson Traffic Product Division manufactures the City Post GD in the US. It also makes other systems, including kerb system lane separators, Type I, II and III barricades, reflectors for barrier walls, snow poles and many more, some of which are self-adhering.

Pexco is based near Atlanta in the state of Georgia. Last October it opened a facility called Extrusion and Engineering Center of Excellence at its Philadelphia facility.

The centre offers engineering consultation and design services for companies that require custom-extruded products or components. The facility focuses on the industrial market, including the lighting, filtration and traffic safety sectors.
