Product use
The products in our FERRADIX® product range are designed for use as small foundations, specifically for traffic signs, information and pedestrian signs, street furniture such as benches, litter bins, barrier posts, railings and fences and sports facilities.
The application examples shown on our website and in our catalogs and brochures will help you determine which foundations are suitable for each application. However, the number and size of foundations required will depend on the type of soil as well as the size, weight, snow loads and wind loads of the objects to be supported. For example, a FERRADIX® foundation may not necessarily be suitable for anchoring a flagpole. Therefore, when it comes to using our products to anchor larger objects, we strongly recommend that you have the planned foundation verified by a static calculation. We assume no liability for any damage resulting from lacking or incorrect static calculations.
The user of the foundations is responsible for complying with existing regulations for use/installation. Among other things, the regulations and guidelines of the legislator, supervisory authorities and trade associations regarding execution, accident prevention and environmental protection must be observed. Before starting the installation work described in these instructions, make absolutely sure that no cables or pipes, such as electrical cables, TV, telephone or internet lines, water or gas pipes, etc. are running through the installation site of the object and the root pole foundation. The shaft and cable plans of the operator or utility company should be consulted and appropriate cable and route locators should be used to check the subsoil accordingly. Instructions for handling our products and user training by our staff regarding the optimal application and use of our FERRADIX® products are, of course, included in the scope of our services, but without any guarantee for the application in individual cases.
