Question from City of Barrie

 I am a Plans Examiner for the City of Barrie and I have a homeowner that wants to use the Titan Post Anchors. Do you have any testing that is stamped by an Engineer of Ontario?

Reply from Richard Bergman

Thank you Robert for your message.  In early December we successfully completed very extensive engineering testing for compliance with guard rails according to both the Ontario and Canadian building codes for our 4×4 post anchor up to 42″.   Intertek has a world class cadre of engineers and the report is being drafted right now.  This should be available some time early in the new year.  It will include maximum spacing, joist blocking, fastener and other specific configuration related details.  I trust it will satisfy all areas of interest.

Reply from City of Barrie

Thanks for the quick reply. It appears like it will satisfy what we require before we will approve the use of the product in the City of Barrie. I am sending a blind copy of this reply to the homeowner so that he is aware that it should be approved in the near future. I look forward to receiving the report when it is ready for our review.
