REDUCING OPERATIONAL COSTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES  

GRA Services offers several products designed to help growing municipalities improve maintenance productivity, extend the life span of utility assets, and improve worker safety. 

GRA Services can help if your municipality is responsible for the installation and / or maintenance of:
  • Traffic and way-finding signage
  • Traffic signals
  • Electrical utility service
You can find more information below on the ways GRA Services can help your growing municipality.

TRAFFIC AND WAY-FINDING SIGNAGE

Keeping up with the infrastructure demands of a growing community can be a challenge.  One of those challenges is keeping pace with the installation and maintenance of traffic and way-finding signage.  It can seem like the process of creating and installing signs is never done.

GRA Services Secure Set pole setting foam can help your traffic signage workers spend less time installing or replacing signage.  The advantages of using Secure Set instead of concrete to install or replace traffic signage include:
  • Easier to handle - two gallons of Secure Set can replace hundreds of pounds of concrete without the dust
  • No Water Needed - your crews don't need water or large mixing tools to use Secure Set.  We include the right size mixing bucket and mixing paddle.  You only need to provide a portable drill. 
  • Fast setting - Secure Set sufficiently hardens in 15 minutes, allowing your crews to remove any supports.  The expanding foam will be fully hardened in 45 minutes.  Think of how many more posts can be installed in a shift compared to concrete.

SIGNS OF GROWTH

If your community is growing and your operations team needs to add signage, Secure Set by GRA Services can speed up the process and make it easier for your crews. 

ADDING OR UPGRADING TRAFFIC SIGNALS

Growing communities are often faced with adding new traffic signals or upgrading existing signals.  This may involve re-working underground services like communication and electrical cables. 
PE Fusion is an acrylic adhesive perfectly suited to help your crews easily couple underground conduit, even if the conduit types are not the same. This gives you flexibility in conduit selection and installation knowing that PE Fusion will bond all surface types securely.

Many municipalities order PE Fusion by the case and keep one or two tubes on every service vehicle for emergency splicing or repair.   

MAINTAINING UTILITY STRUCTURES  

If your municipality is responsible for delivering electric utility services, chances are you have a large investment in the distribution assets.  
GRA Services offers several products to help you extend the lifespan of your utility structures, so you can keep operating and maintenance costs low, and delivery reliability high.

GRA Services products allow you to repair and restore wood and concrete poles for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

These products include:
  • Secure Set - Pole Setting Foam - straighten leaning poles or set new poles. 
  • TimberBond - fast and lasting wood pole restoration
  • Concrete Pole Repair (CPR) - not just for poles, CPR can also repair damaged bridges, curbs, manholes and other concrete infrastructure. 
  • Pad Leveling Foam - used to fill voids, and washouts that cause transformer pads to lean
