FLAGTRAX

Urban Aluminium is pleased to announce that we have signed a distribution agreement to supply the FlagTrax™ banner raising system on our Multi-function Smart poles as well our decorative architectural poles.

The growth of decorative and advertising banners on light poles in the public domain highlighted a costly problem whereby the changing of a fixed banner required elevated work platforms, road closures, traffic controls and many other compliance issues.

For this reason, FlagTrax™ was developed to enable banners to be changed from ground level using a patented push/pull system.

FlagTrax is a product of Nexus Developments from New Zealand and is also available on our sister company GM Poles products.

NEW CNC MACHINE

July 16th 2020 marked the arrival of our new CNC machine located in our Sydney factory.

Funded by a Federal Government Grant, the new CNC machine will enable more efficient production of our aluminium Smart Poles, Architectural poles, and bespoke specials.

Our thanks go to the Federal member for Berowra, Julian Lesser MP, who recently toured our facilities and said "the support came at an incredibly important time for the local manufacturing sector and will not only strengthen our business but will be an investment in a growing company that provides jobs for Australians, particularly as we face this unprecedented pandemic”.

This project is to roll out EV charging stations across Tasmania to cater for the growing number of electric vehicles now in use throughout the state. The poles are a modified version of our multi-function community pole, housing a Jetcharge charging system and payment facility and using our patented bracket mounting system for CCTV, lighting and signage. The poles were supplied through our Tasmanian Distributor Southern Lighting and Distribution Pty Ltd.

SMART POLES

WARNERS BAY

Urban Aluminium are proud to have been appointed by Lake Macquarie City Council to manufacture install, and commission Solar Smart Poles to the foreshore walkway and cycle way at Warners Bay, south of Newcastle.

The contract required a system that was solar powered that could illuminate the pathway to a PP2 level and have surplus capacity to power a range of Smart City technologies that could be added to the pole in the future, either internally or externally, using an integrated accessory mounting system.

The pole supplied was the UAMFP Campus pole with 5 separate powered compartments to house technologies. The solar equipment package was an Orca Solar Vertex system with batteries and energy management controls housed within the pole structure. The Urban Aluminium team also designed and constructed shallow pad footings to all poles to mitigate issues with the high-water table due to Lake Macquarie’s close proximity. We look forward to assisting with the next stage of the roll out.
