Loveland, OH

Installation Information

The City of Loveland, OH, faced a recurring issue with their decorative traffic light post bases: corrosion was causing deterioration, leading to costly maintenance and safety concerns. Traditional aluminum base covers, commonly used in such applications, are particularly susceptible to corrosion, especially in regions like Ohio that experience harsh winters with heavy snowfall and road salt application. The salt can accelerate the corrosion process, leading to pitting, cracking, and weakening of the metal.

Seeking a more durable alternative, Loveland turned to TerraCast. TerraCast's innovative resin light pole bases offered a comprehensive solution to the city's problems. The resin material is inherently resistant to corrosion, making it far superior to aluminum in environments exposed to harsh weather conditions and corrosive agents. In addition to durability, TerraCast's bases provided flexibility in design. Loveland was able to make on-site alterations to the base covers, accommodating features like pedestrian push buttons without compromising the overall structural integrity. This adaptability demonstrated TerraCast's commitment to providing solutions that meet the specific needs of each project, even in challenging urban environments. By choosing TerraCast's resin light pole bases, Loveland not only addressed the immediate issue of corrosion but also invested in a long-term solution that would save the city time, money, and resources. The project showcased TerraCast's ability to deliver durable, customizable products that enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of urban infrastructure.
