Poletech Non-Illuminated PUBs
For non-illuminated signs, the best demountable foundation solution is the Poletech Non-Illuminated Signage PUB (Permanent Underground Base) system.
Made in all standard sizes from 60mm O/D to 194mm O/D this unit can be used as a foundation for all types of Passive and Non-Passively safe pole, whether made from steel, aluminium or composite material.
NB. Recent Highways Agency advice states that steel and aluminium sign poles of 76mm O/D and 89mm O/D with a nominal wall thickness of 3.2mm are deemed to satisfy BSEN 12767 for Passive Safety requirements and as such need not be protected by safety barriers. As the barriers previously protecting this signage will be removed, the chances of knockdown will be increased and any of the three types of Poletech PUBs should be used to allow rapid replacement of poles following collision.
Once installed, the Poletech Non-Illuminated PUB system pays back with countless benefits:
- Better street environment
- Less liability as rusty, damaged poles can be easily and economically replaced
- Economic replacement of life expired street furniture

Pole mounting made easy:
- No specialist labour or equipment required
- High speed installation

- No excavation
- No coning or temporary traffic lights

- No noise
- No spoil to cart away
- No waiting
