Reduce your maintenance costs by 73% with the JDP pedestal
22 August 2025
Let’s take the example of a municipality with 100 pedestals.
Note: Savings are expressed in current dollars; in reality, they will be even higher over time.
1. Lifespan: 50 years vs. 20 years
- Traditional pedestal: full replacement every 20 years
→ Over 50 years: 2.5 replacement cycles
→ Cost per replacement: $8,000 × 100 pedestals = $800,000
→ Total over 50 years: $2,000,000 - JDP: full replacement only after 50 years
→ One single replacement: $800,000
2. Maintenance
Average maintenance: 2 interventions per pedestal per year
Labor: $100/hour
- Traditional pedestal: 1 extra hour per intervention (e.g. in winter)
→ 100 pedestals × 2 interventions × 50 years × $100/hour = $1,000,000 - JDP: no maintenance
50-Year Comparison – 100 Pedestals
| Category | Traditional Pedestal | JDP | Savings with JDP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Replacements required | 2.5 replacements (every 20 years) | 1 replacement (after 50 years) | 1.5 replacements avoided |
| Cost per replacement | $800,000 | $800,000 | — |
| Total replacement cost | $2,000,000 | $800,000 | $1,200,000 |
| Annual maintenance | 2 interventions × 1 hr | None | 2 interventions avoided |
| Maintenance over 50 years | $1,000,000 | $0 | $1,000,000 |
| Total cost (50 years) | $3,000,000 | $800,000 | $2,200,000 |
| Total savings (%) | — | — | 73% savings |
Cost reduction: $2.2 million, or 73% savings over 50 years.
The JDP pedestal isn’t just a technical decision — it’s a long-term financial strategy that can save municipalities millions in replacement and maintenance.
