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. -

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. -
