Shallow Foundation

Intelligent foundation systems for illuminated post installations

The NAL Shallow Foundation (or “Bridge Deck") Retention Socket system is part of a range of fittings designed to secure all types of illuminated and non-illuminated street furniture which are being installed in locations with restricted depth. The product enables easy removal of the furniture after impact simply with a key and a spanner.

All Retention Sockets are manufactured in cast steel or ductile iron and galvanised. A stainless steel locking mechanism located in the side chamber secures the street furniture in place. The Shallow Foundation Retention Socket is manufactured with a strengthening plate, and four bottom entry cable and duct access points. These Retention Systems are suitable for both illuminated and non-illuminated street furniture which are being installed in sites with severe depth restrictions, such as on top of bridge membranes, cellars, existing utility ducts/pipes, archaeology interests and your specific application.
