Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 27, 2007 -- The National Society of Professional Engineers-Professional Engineers in Industry- has chosen Pedro Giralt's aluminum picket handrail for the 2007 New Product Award. This prestigious award honors American companies and their contributions to society. Winning products were chosen for their exceptional engineering research, design and overall impact on our national economy.

This Aluminum Picket Handrail was designed to AASHTO Bridge Design criteria for sidewalks, bridge approaches, retaining walls, etc. Modifications have been made to use them on balconies, pool enclosures, fences and marine construction applications. The basis of the design is a patented method of extrusions and snap-on clips for attaching the pickets. This method makes the product stronger than welded rails, by avoiding the heat effect from welds. US Patents were received in November 2004 and January 2007.

Giralt's mechanized picket railing dramatically saves time manufacturing, increases quality, and reduces product weight, while providing more strength that the Florida Department of transportation requires. It is the highest level of safety you can achieve in a hand railing, and is mandated in Florida on any structure with more that a 30" drop. The aluminum picket handrail is also ADA compliant and meets the International Building Code

Gator Bridge and Rail in Sanford, FL is the exclusive manufacturer and marketer of the Giralt railing. Gator and Giralt look to improve upon the standard picket design by offering other decorative or customized versions. The product is highly customizable- we can add circles, stars, etc to dress up the product.

Some of the advantages of the system are:

• Assembly with snap-on clips is much quicker than welding, and can be done by helpers instead of certified welders.
• The cleaning and grinding of welds is eliminated.
• A greater amount of railing can be produced with the same manufacturing space, equipment and personnel.

We have the largest spectrum of options in aluminum rail and aluminum bridge products with the capability to provide alternate designs and systems.
