Lighting and Signage

Street Lighting, Signboards, and Crosswalks

As within any major city, adequate street-lighting is a key component utilized to increase motorist and pedestrian safety. Can-Traffic Services has been large contributing factor to the development of this infrastructure within the City of Calgary. Not only have our crews been involved in the installation of these devices within the City but also in their maintenance and upkeep. Can-Traffic Services recently aided the Critical Pole Project within the city limits.  The goal of this project was meant to identify poles with excessive wear or damage and to repair or replace as required. Can-Traffic Services was able to meet these requirements with continued success. Considering that many of the existing devices in the the traffic infrastructure world were installed 50 plus years ago, it is no surprise that a diligent, pro-active maintenance program is crucial. Can-Traffic Services can not only aid in the design of these programs but can also see them through to completion.

 

Streetlight design and placement can be a lot more complex than originally perceived. Some of the factors that precede placement include; height, spacing, arrangement, existing conditions, scale, street type, compatibility, coordination, building heights, road geometries, sidewalk and street width to name a few. Then there are Photometric considerations to be made, these include, color temperature, lumens, wattage, type, crossover, distribution, intensity, and many others. Knowing which application works best with a given set of parameters is best determined by professionals.

This same knowledge extends to the engineering, design and construction of both crosswalks and variable message signboards. We ensure the proper system is utilized within a strict set of pre-defined parameters. The requirements for each and every project are unique and demand careful consideration. Unraveling these variables and ensuring the right solution is provided for your project is our area of expertise.
