HOW often have you waited at temporary traffic lights while workmen struggle to erect a roadside structure?

Well, no longer. Because Kidderminster-based firm Strataform's innovatively designed new flat-packed telemetry cabinets for use by telecommunication and utility companies can drastically reduce traffic problems for local authorities because they are so quick and easy to install.

A simple, two-man, one-day operation with no heavy vehicles or lifting equipment needed can install this new style of cabinet, keeping traffic disruption to an absolute minimum.

Unlike traditional, cumbersome methods, there is no need to return a week or more later while waiting for concrete to set, leaving a road closed completely or its width reduced.

The Strataform cabinets are able to withstand physical attacks and have options available to make them fire, bullet and bomb-proof.

The siting of the cabinets is not dictated to by vehicle access or lack of it, so they can be positioned exactly where desired.

Available in any size, colour, and with numerous security locking arrangements to protect communication cables, switches and meters, the cabinets are also available with solar panels to make them self-powering. This not only reduces the cost of running them but makes them more environmentally friendly.

Just the thing for covering those holes by the side of the road.
