As a plan to make Melbourne the premier bicycle city of Australia, Lord Mayor Sally Capp has released a 10-year draft transport strategy.

Australian Bollards is now offering the Centurion Road Blocker as a solution for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation. This heavy-duty security device has been crash-tested using a 6.8-ton truck going at 80kph, remaining intact and operational after the impact. The surface-mounted road blocker is another great innovation to bring the utility of a retractable HVM device with the convenience of avoiding a deep excavation process. Unlike sliding bollards, the Centurion Road Blocker does not have anything sticking out while it is retracted, making it blend in more with the environment. Whe  ...read more

The NJM Group has done a variety of installations at Caribbean Business Park before. Our latest project has been the addition of W beam guard rails to a pair of loading ramps. These rails provide a clear boundary at the edges of the ramps, keeping forklifts and other vehicles from accidentally falling off. With the guard rails in place, the ramp is more strongly delineated from the rest of the loading dock, making it a safer place. The guard rails also include a handrail to improve convenience for pedestrians walking up and down the ramps. The NJM Group is proud to p  ...read more
