Low-Tech solution proves to be effective crime-buster

Sommerfeld Portable Roadways, one of the industry’s longest established and most low-tech products, is enjoying a resurgence in popularity – and all because it is proving to be virtually vandal and theft proof. In recent years, Sommerfeld Flexboards’ product – portable roadways made from hardwood and wrought iron – have been eclipsed by aluminium systems: However the Company has seen a marked increase in demand because of “hidden” cost benefits. Invariably the product is used for access and is often laid outside the secured areas of a site, but since the Flexboards don’t have the same scrap market as aluminium and are generally too bulky to “spirit away”, security (and the costs associated with it) is less of a problem. Furthermore the boards are virtually indestructible – in one instance Flexboards were used to provide access to a new play area and while the site was hit by chronic vandalism even before the project was completed, the Flexboard survived an arson attempt and a concerted attack with iron bars and are still in use without needing any remedial work. Sommerfeld offer free site assessments and prices include delivery and installation. For more information phone 01952 503737 or email info@sommerfeld.co.uk
