In 2017, two friends wondered why there was such a large disparity between day and night for temporary traffic management devices. Over the course of three years Anthony Young and Ian Dennis conceived, designed and manufactured an all new temporary traffic management device. In 2020, CDMI Australia Pty Ltd was pleased to announce the world’s first Illuminated delineation for mining after trialling with BMA Mining in QLD. In 2020, 21 and 22 CDMI Australia was successful in making the final five in the QLD Mining Industry Health and Safety conference for Innovation in Safety. We then approached Transport Certification Australia to have the IGS® Bollard assessed for use on public roads and infrastructure projects. After 14 months and seven in field trials, Transport Certification Australia/Austroads and AITDSA recommended for use the IGS® Bollard. The IGS® Bollard meets AS/NS 1742.3 AND AS/NS 1906.1 and is protected by a worldwide patent and trademark filing. The IGS® Bollard is a solar powered internally illuminated temporary traffic management device designed to work both day and night and is the first Active temporary safety bollard requiring no external influence (Vehicle lights) to activate.
The IGS® Bollard is designed to offer better visibility for hazards, road and ground works, or can be used anywhere a T-Top bollard is currently used. The IGS® Bollard will also work in conjunction with any existing temporary traffic management devices.
John Holland and Fulton Hogan have completed trials at the Newcastle Bypass Project and have submitted the IGS® Bollard as an Australian first for a Sustainability in Infrastructure rating as it is solar powered and recyclable.
