Provide flexible,
reliable solar trackers offering system production increases of up to 25% compared to
fixed-tilt systems to maximize energy yield.
It is the largest Australian Government commitment to a single road project in Queensland’s history, with a price tag of $1.6 billion jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments. A total of 66 kilometres of Ezy-Guard HC was supplied for installation on various sections of the TSRC and was chosen due to its high containment capacity and full compliance with MASH TL4 crash tests, proving to be a suitable system for the TSRC requirements. Being able to properly withstand and yield to a crash of a 10,000kg truck travelling at 90km/h impacting at 15 degrees, Ingal Civil represents the next generation of safety barrier systems. Its design allows soft-ride down decelerations of heavy impacting vehicles and uses fewer components, providing rapid installation and repair.
