The 9A – The ultimate in highway soffit safety

The number of accidents attributed to downed lighting poles on highways is difficult to accurately access, but one thing is clear – it’s on the rise.

Highways agencies such as CalTrans face a daily fight against wire theft and vandalism, which leaves whole stretches of outlying highways without safety lighting.

FDF is a market leader in the design and production of hardware, which prevents against copper wire theft. Back to work after the New Year, FDF was out on the highway again overseeing the installation of a 9A security lid.

The P9 is specifically designed to fit into side wall soffits. The unique design of the spring-loaded locking plate makes it impossible to reach the copper wire and conduits behind. In addition, the tools for fitting the 9A are custom made and proprietary to each highways agency, meaning that unless you work for CalTrans you won’t have the tool to remove the CalTrans security cover.

Retro-fitting the 9A takes between 30 and 40 minutes, but once fitted it will never need maintenance. Sammy Vargas demonstrated the installation of the 9A to a team of CalTrans employees.

Even though this soffit was damaged the installation was a complete success. Removing the lid is simple and takes just a couple of minutes – if you have the right tools!

CEO of FDF

“The important thing is, you can’t get these tools anywhere else” Say’s FDF CEO Jim Steed. “You won’t find them in Home Depot. So if you drive up to a 9A protected soffit with an adjustable wrench and some wire cutters, you’ll look pretty stupid”.

There is no doubt that using the range of FDF security products will reduce copper wire theft in SoCal. Talks are now in progress with other states about customizing the security lids to conform with their own particular specifications.

Anti Copper Wire Theft by FDF

Press Release

Copper Wire Theft – Light at the end of the tunnel!

Californian Company creates a solution to copper wire theft on America’s highways.

The price of copper is once again on the rise, which means the trade of illegal copper is also on the increase. But for the average American the question is: “What does that have to do with me?”  In a word – safety.

Increased copper wire theft means: the brightly lit stretch of highway you use to get home every day will suddenly go dark.  On these blacked out areas of the highway the risk of auto accidents is almost doubled.

But there is a bright side to this scenario. Transportation agencies like CalTrans are now using a range of Anti Wire Theft devices designed to eliminate copper wire theft, save many lives and millions of wasted taxpayer dollars. Each incident of copper theft (worth on average $100 in illegal scrap) will cost in excess of $10,000 to repair.

FDF’s complete range of security lids enable highway agencies to securely lock inspection points along street s and highways, preventing intrusion by copper wire thieves. “The aim is to make stealing copper wire so difficult and time-consuming that thieves will just move on,” says FDF CEO Jim Steed.

CalTrans has already started retro-fitting the FDF security lids to sites all over Los Angeles and the rest of California – preventing the lights going out, saving lives and saving California millions of dollars.
