Retention Systems socket cover, Newtownards (July 2016)
The socket is a clever and simple way of attaching street furniture (such as bins and seats) to the ground without using unsightly and semi-permanent holes and dollops of concrete. This link http://www.retention-system.com/ is to the maker’s website which includes the following description “Typically traffic signal posts, signposts, bollards and most street furniture items are installed encased in concrete, or anchored and bolted to a concrete plinth. This means they are permanent and removal entails further expensive, disruptive and potentially dangerous excavation. With the introduction of the multi-use RETENTION SYSTEM these and other posts can now be installed in high-strength RS sockets and replaced with great speed, ease and efficiency.”
This installation, at Conway Square, is part of an extensive programme of public realm improvements in the centre of Newtownards. I have no connection with any of the parties involved in the scheme.
