Gate Enhancement Project

Gated communities find that they need better security to keep traffic into their communities controlled to only people that are allow in. One of the weak points in many communities is the exit lane, while the gate is open it   can be a free for all with traffic going in through the exit.

Spike strips are the solution for that

First we jackhammer out the existing concrete and excavate enough below to add 8 inches of gravel below the spike strips for drainage

 Then place the spike strips on the prepared surface , and pour a concrete apron around them

Here is the finished product

The next area that we look at to eliminate unwanted entries to the community is the entry gate, once the gate is open it is a free for all, to gain entry all you have to do is wait for a resident, or someone that has been given access to open the gate.
To eliminate this we install barrier arms across the entryway, this way we can stop traffic to a single vehicle per access granted.

First we excavate for footings to anchor the barrier arms to

Behind the curb irrigation lines are always a problem and have to be dealt with

OK now there is room for a footing to be formed up

 Here is the barrier arm as it is mounted on the footing
