Case StudiesImproving Safety and Maintenance Access at an Agricultural Facility with Swivelpole™

Challenges

CBH required all lighting to be readily accessible for maintenance purposes. The majority of lighting on CBH Sites are on elevated walkways, conveyor belt walkways, access stairways and elevator conveyor towers.

Solution

As walkway lighting is generally next to handrails, using Swivelpoles eliminates working at heights requirements, this saves complicated work front set-up or the use of EWP’s and a saving on labour costs.

Results

The other benefit of using Swivelpole™ poles, is being able to mount and terminate all the lights, posi boxes to the poles on the ground and then take them up to be mounted in position. This saves time with not having to take required tooling to each individual light location on site.

As most of the electrical equipment on CBH are of the hazardous area type, being able to lower the light fittings and easy access to the posi box connections makes the inspections that need to be carried out by the hazardous area inspector, after the install is complete, a seamless and a time saving task.

"We have been using Swivelpoles on a number of Projects over the years, mining and other commercial, industrial areas and will continue to use them, as the range of poles, mounting accessories etc. cover all our needs.

We are also finding that more and more of our clients are specifying Swivelpoles for their projects.”
