Jersey barrier and guardrail striping system
Used in conjunction with Diamond Vogel Paint's horizontally applied reflective paint and beads, Ultra Guard dramatically reduces nighttime accidents. EZ-Liner Industries. www.ezliner.com.
Works with LED and HID lights
Combine the L300 controller with the company's Lumen IQ adaptive management system to cut drive current by 30% at installation and even further over time. Like other "intelligent" networking systems, IQ monitors the performance of individual streetlights, automatically alerting crews to failures, and tracks energy consumption.

Easy to install and relocate
Comprised of a pivoting sign, a solar panel, and a control box, the SwiftSign is smaller and costs less than a variable message board but is more versatile than a printed sign. Designed for emergencies and difficult-to-access locations, the sign is activated with a radio frequency (RF) unit, cell phone, or Web-based application.

Levels with wave technology
With Wave-and-Read technology, the DL-500 digital levels series includes an additional survey style option that allows a rod person to wave the staff back and forth instead of keeping it plumb. When standing vertically, the reading becomes the minimum; as the staff is waved, the least value is read, reducing errors and operator eyestrain. Random-Bidirectional (RAB) code provides an optimum digital processing algorithm for staff reading. Invar-, fiberglass-, and aluminum-RAB-code staffs are available.

Eliminate soil loss in sloped areas
Consisting of straw and reclaimed cotton plant materials blended with proprietary tackifiers, HydraCX2 Extreme Slope Matrix and HydraCM Steep Slope Matrix hydromulches dramatically reduce soil loss from sloped areas. In tests, HydraCX2 demonstrated 100% soil protection while HydraCM showed 99.7% effectiveness. North American Green. www.nagreen.com.
Pop-up tent shelter

Excavator guidance system
Earthworks X300 excavator guidance system integrates Crescent Vector GPS compass technology to measure and display 3D excavating positioning. It provides real-time visual feedback on the position of the bucket teeth relative to design grade surface. It also functions in a full 2D mode when jobs don't require a 3D design file; a touchscreen interface guides operators through 2D jobs. Hemisphere GPS. www.hemispheregps.com.
