Public safety is one of the top concerns when it comes to community places all across the country. Protecting infrastructure, people and the community is an important aspect when installing safety measures. Implementing our solutions to prevent incidents from happening is the sole purpose of our Spherical Event Bollards (AB-VBIED-MVBS).
All across the world, construction companies just like Australian Bollards are supplying W-Beam Railings as a quality road safety solution. Essentially, the W-Beam Railing (AB-BSH) is named after its bendable shape that resembles the letter W. However, many years ago they were once known as ARMCO Railings which stands for The American Rolling Mill Company (ARMCO).
Whether we notice it or not, many of us take critical infrastructure for granted in our everyday lives. We turn on a tap, flip a switch, push a button, and water, light, and heat are all readily available but it’s important to know how to protect these systems from damage.
As part of the modernisation of Melbourne's tram network, Yarra Trams constructed a new terminus and level-access platform stop on the corner of Toorak Road and Glenferrie Road. It was the last remaining unprotected terminus on Melbourne's tram network in 2015. A safety risk assessment completed by Yarra Trams ranked the terminus in the top ten hot spots/stops for severity, with vehicle-to-passenger near misses recorded on an almost daily basis and did not allow for safe and easy boarding. Benefits of the upgrade included easier and safer access to trams and an increased protection from road traffic. The upgrade would have been incomplete without the installation of Energy Absorbing Bollards (AB-EAB).
Brisbane police are seeking the public’s help to find a woman they believe to be involved in a hit-and-run resulting in the death of a Queensland cop on the 26th of this month. Senior Constable David Masters was hit while trying to stop a suspected stolen vehicle while laying down road spikes along the Bruce Highway at Burpengary. The manual deployment of the tyre killers left the Brisbane cop vulnerable and defenceless against a fast-approaching car.
The Manningham Council is under extreme scrutiny after the Bulleen plaza has had three car incidents in the last week. After the most recent hospitalisation of a woman who was crushed outside a Templestowe Lower cafe, the community is calling for safety bollards to be installed across busy shopping strips to avoid any more potential threats.
With the number of near misses between cars and commuters at an all time high, and seven people struck by vehicles while trying to get off the tram just this year, the need for increased security and protection measures is imperative.
Our high-impact flexible bollards protect the Former Royal Mint, located in Melbourne City on the land of the Kulin people, which has been open since 1872. It stands proud as one of Melbourne’s heritage sites. Many things in its past, the Renaissance Revival architecture is a key institution that helped in the development of Melbourne as a city and Australia as a nation. Today, the building is home to the Hellenic Museum, a dedication to the celebration of ancient and modern Greece.
