Protecting North-East Link construction with EABs
The North-East link, called the “biggest ever investment in Melbourne’s north-east”, is currently one of the largest ongoing projects in the city. Upgrading 15km and constructing 11km of freeway, there are ten ongoing works in Balwyn North, Bulleen, and Watsonia related to the project, though many more are sure to come with an estimated completion date of 2027. With so much continuing and future construction occurring so close to busy roads, the safety and protection of workers and the development of this critical infrastructure from errant vehicles is of the utmost importance; Australian Bollards’ energy absorbing bollards (EABs) are the solution for people and asset protection. -

Australian Bollards - Protecting critical infrastructure and saving lives
Australian Bollards has proudly and frequently partnered with Yarra Trams to supply and install our Energy Absorbing Bollards (EABs) at multiple tram stops throughout Melbourne. Engineered to save lives, these bollards work to efficiently and effectively stop collisions between cars and pedestrians, cyclists, and trams, protecting people and critical infrastructure. -
Ensuring public safety with Event Bollards
Late last year, in the peak of tourist season, Australian Bollards proudly installed specially customised event bollards in the city of Mornington to protect the community and visitors against the threat of hostile vehicles. As states reopen their borders to one another and coronavirus restrictions ease across the country, large events, such as the upcoming Moomba Festival in Melbourne, will resume and attract even larger crowds. Moomba, which is Australia’s largest free community festival (cancelled last year due to COVID19 restrictions), is expected to attract almost a million people, and ensuring the safety of festival goers’ and protection of assets is crucial.

Ensuring Covid compliance this Labour Day long-weekend
Though mask rules in Victoria have recently been eased, Australia’s cumulative number of Covid-19 cases have more than quadrupled in 2022, and for public safety businesses must mitigate this threat and maintain their efforts of crowd control and social distancing. This becomes increasingly urgent as more people venture out of their homes to shopping centres and entertainment venues to enjoy the upcoming Labour Day long weekend. The use of Tensile Retractable Belt Barriers is an effective way in which this problem can be resolved. -

Energy Absorbing Bollards - Active Safety at Tram Stop 139
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). -
Safe Spike - Keeping your Distance while Managing Police Safety
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.

Energy Absorbing Bollards - Pre-emptive Safety
The Manningham Council is under extreme scrutiny after the Bulleen plaza has had three car incidents in the last week.

Protecting Our Heritage – Flexible Bollards
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.
