Re: Creating Innovative Councils Posted: 15 Sep 2012 04:24 PM PDT I have just joined this site and make my 1st forum post. I will post some footpath photos with TripStop installed soon. We have been selling our product TripStop see www.tripstop.net since 2003 to Councils who are Innovative in that they wanted a viable and long term solution to displaced footpaths. To date we have not recorded a single failure at any TripStop joint where TripStop was installed correctly as per our Installation guide. Installing TripStop is easy and similar to installing Key joints except easier. Our longest known site backed with a testimonial [on our website] from the City of Bayside, Victoria was installed in 2003 and continues to protect today Sept 2012. The short version is Bayside used to replace 3 panels of concrete every 13 months at this site. 9 years in all have elapsed with zero maintenance saving ar 7 life cycles that 3 slabs x 7 cycles = 21 slabs at ar $200 a pop = $4200 for a cost of ar $80 for the TripStop. We have another site in the city of Knox which was built in the early 1980s and had some TripStops installed in 2005 which we will publish a real life case study very soon. Bottom line on this is ar 10% of the original slabs are still there after only 32 years. Knox asset life is 50 years. If the site had TripStop installed [i.e. Knox specified it at no cost to Knox they would have inherited a maintenance free footpath. ar 90% replaced early at a cost of ar $180 a pop. TripStop wasn’t invented until 2000 so Knox couldn’t have done it but they can now and so can every Council. For example the city of Sutherland NSW specify TripStop for all new sub-divisions.
