Avery Dennison

Minimum retroreflectivity kit

Avery Dennison’s Minimum Retroreflectivity Compliance Kit offers officials and road sign fabricators a way to evaluate if an existing sign meets new federally- established standards for “retroreflectivity.” Each kit is equipped with calibration sign and comparison panel standards, allowing easy testing of signs for compliance simply by holding the kit’s comparison panel next to a sign. If the sign is as bright as the panel, the sign is in compliance, if not, it needs to be replaced. The calibration sign standards come in all required colors with retroreflectivity levels engineered to match the values specified in MUTCD Table 2A-3. It can be calibirated for nighttime sign inspections.

Tensar

Mobile app determines aggregates savings

Tensar International Corp.’s SpectraPave mobile app allows users in the field to quickly and accurately determine aggregate savings with the use of TriAx Geogrid (TX140/TX160) for subgrade stabilization projects.
