Prospect Highway Upgrade

How do you install sophisticated electrical ventilation systems along an active highway without disrupting traffic? This was the challenge we faced during the $280 million Prospect Highway upgrade. Our Level 2 certified team had to meet exacting government specifications while working in exposed roadside conditions. We began with thorough hazard reduction protocols before implementing weatherproof electrical infrastructure designed specifically for harsh roadside environments. By taking full responsibility for compliance documentation and testing, we ensured that every aspect met Transport, Roads, and Maritime Services standards. The project showcased our expertise in transportation infrastructure, delivering zero safety incidents over the 6-month project while creating systems that continue to perform reliably with minimal maintenance.
