Acceptable Manufacturer: Terracast(R) Products LLC, which is located at: 4400 N. W. 19th Ave. Suite K ; Pompano Beach, FL 33064; Tel: 305-895-9525; Email: request info (info@terracastproducts.com); Web: www.terracastproducts.com
 
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete one of the following two paragraphs; coordinate with requirements of Division 1 section on product options and substitutions.
 
B.
Substitutions: Not permitted.
C.
Requests for substitutions will be considered in accordance with provisions of Section 01600.
2.2
POLYSTEEL MATERlALS
A.
All parts shall be constructed of a combination of Linear Low Density Polyethylene, Polyurethane foam and a galvanized steel pole for structure. The resin parts shall be made by rotational molding using Natural Gas and reclaimed water for heating and cooling, respectively. This processes the finished product, PolySteel.
B.
Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) may be up to 100 percent Post-Consumer recycled material unless project requirements dictate otherwise. External shell to have a 1/4 inch (6mm) wall thickness throughout the entire lamp post.
1.
LLDPE resin shall be compounded by a reputable manufacturer. All lamp post shells will be fabricated of 100 percent resin - inorganic fillers will not be acceptable. All material will contain ultraviolet inhibitors, and can contain Flame retardant and anti-microbial additives as necessary.
2.
Lamp Posts are not painted, primed, baked, layered, coated with enamel, or powder coated; each pole is a rotationally molded pre-colored composite containing three distinct layers. Colors will not peel away as the colored material wall is a nominal 1/4 inch (6mm) thickness. Scratches, scrapes, and vandalism will not reveal a secondary under coat color, which would be much more conspicuous than a color thru material.
3.
Standard color is black, any other color is available. Granite finishes will use proprietary amounts of blended colors, thoroughly amalgamated with natural polymer resin, and applied to the molds which have been treated with a mold release agent.
4.
The material must not rust, pit, corrode, or rot. The LLDPE must be non-hydroscopic, disallowing the penetration of water or other environmental elements.
C.
Steel core shall be made from material that is no less than eighty percent (80 percent) recycled.
1.
Classic Lamp Posts also produces a PolyComposite pole, designed for installations where supreme wind loading is necessary. The PolyComposite pole is made similarly to PolySteel, but its core is made from a tapered fiberglass pole.

FABRlCATlON
A.
Fabricate Classic Lamp Posts, PolySteel Light Poles to be fabricated by specific molds in specific shapes and sizes. The LLDPE powder shall be weighed out to precisely the amount necessary to create an evenly thick wall section. This LLDPE is poured by a trained employee into the open cavity of the rotational mold. The two (or three) piece mold, which has been shot peened and then spring mounted on a steel tube frame, is clamped shut, and sent into the oven to bake. The finished plastic resin material shall be approximately 1/4 (6mm) inch thick and thicker in those areas requiring additional structural strength.
B.
All lamp posts shall be made by Rotational Molding using TerraCast parts.
C.
All PolySteel Lamp Posts shall have either 12 or 16 gauge steel sections whose tensile strength and wind load is determined by a Florida Registered Wind Engineer. All wind load calculations are a figure of the EPA of the post top fixture and shall be considered before a final selection is made.
D.
Please refer to the in ground burial instructions, or those found with the anchor bolt template and diagram for proper installation guidelines.
E.
Classic Lamp Posts PolySteel poles will not be susceptible to cracking, chipping or breaking caused by inclement weather.
F.
Finish: All light poles, lamp posts and related products will have a shiny, glossy, finish. Shiny finishes are created by a specialized flame treatment. All finishes are provided by the factory.
G.
Sizes: All units are made by manufacturer as required to fill specified orders from seven to twelve feet above ground, and PolyComposite poles in 12 foot, 14 foot and 16 foot. Please refer to catalog for standard sizes. Custom sizes and shapes available as per customers' specs. Before production, customer will approve shop drawings.
H.
Fire retardant and Anti-microbial requirements can be satisfied by adding retardant chemicals to the resin blends. Additional information is available for this portion of the specification.
