• Abstract:
  In order to facilitate the flow of very low, wide loads and reduce damage to the delineation on a project currently under construction, the contractor removes the top from the base as the wide load pass through. This causes concerns with safety, both for the traveling public and the contractor crews. Incorporating a reboundable surface mount delineator (aka channeling device) may eliminate the need to remove and reset the tube during a wide load pass, decreasing the contact of contractor crews with vehicular traffic. There is also a potential of lowering project costs and requiring fewer wide load closures.
