The Alaska Department of Transportation needed a durable and low-maintenance solution to improve visibility and protect motorists in these severe conditions. #### Solution Pexco custom-engineered the “Dalton Delineator”, leveraging its plastic extrusion expertise to create a flexible, impact-resistant post that withstands subzero temperatures, high winds, and repeated vehicle strikes. The design features UV-stable materials, a resilient coupler system, and high-reflectivity surfaces to enhance visibility even in whiteout conditions. #### Outcome The Dalton Delineator has significantly improved road visibility and driver safety along the Dalton Highway. Its durable, low-maintenance design has reduced replacement costs and downtime, helping Alaska DOT maintain safer travel on one of the world’s most demanding routes.
