Aluminium Tubular Columns (ACS)

Stepped columns are drawn from a single tube, with no welded joints. Giving enhanced carrying capacity, as well as a smoother line to the column.

• The upper shaft is constant regardless of the top spigot diameter

Materials and Finish

These columns are in extruded series 6000 aluminium alloy, finished to a high standard. This finish is protected by individual wrapping on each column to prevent transit damage. Enhanced weight/windage capacity is achieved by the construction technique which uses a double thickness form at the lower end. Root sections are thermoplastic coated to give protection against corrosive elements and the cable entry port, below ground, has the entry lined with plastic coating to avoid chafing of the cable. Inside the column is a hardwood back board with adjustable vertical position, for mounting cable termination and isolation switches. Earth studs are included, one inside the column base, the other on the door. The flush mounting door is secured by two locks, positioned at top and bottom of the door. The key format makes unauthorised entry extremely difficult. The standard finish is brushed
aluminium.
