Case Study : Eastern Hutt Road Safence™ Wire Rope Median Barrier
Safence™ proves to be the right solution for Hutt
City Council. The 870m long median barrier was
installed on Eastern Hutt Road – a 2 lane, 80kph

If you are looking for a cost effective, fully compliant
sign support system, then CSP Pacific has just the
product: The Dent Breakaway Sign Support
System.
Transit NZ specification P/24 requires that signs in
the clear zone shall be designed, manufactured,
installed and maintained to comply with NCHRP 350
Test Level 3. This requires a breakaway system
where the sign is not protected by a road safety
barrier.
The Dent Breakaway Sign Support System has
been fully tested to NCHRP350 TL3 and approved
by the FHWA. This system is very quick to install
and has no requirement for ongoing maintenance.
At the heart of the system is a very innovative
breakaway bolt - the Dent Bolt - and the Dent
Hinge Plate - the only FHWA approved hinge
system for sign supports. A huge benefit is that it
can also be retrofitted to existing signs.

Concrete Invert Means Steel Multiplate Have Longevity
A steel Multiplate in the South Island celebrated it's
21st birthday this year. The Multiplate remains in
great condition - due in part to being installed with a
concrete invert 21 years ago. The photos below
show there are no signs of corrosion and the
galvanising coating still has a glossy layer. This is
good practice and does show that concrete inverts
extend the life of steel Multiplate culverts.
CSP Pacific strongly recommends the use of a
concrete invert in steel Multiplate culverts. They are
simple and cost effective to install and can extend
the life of the culvert considerably. Concrete inverts
should be a minimum of 100m thick and should
always be installed after backfilling is complete.
Also, sometime the use of a concrete invert can
reduce the thickness of steel required in the invert –
hence saving costs.
