Weber South Pacifc’s URD in-ground pillar has been acknowledged as a finalist in Queensland’s premier engineering awards

Engineering Australia has acknowledged the URD pillar as a finalist in the Industrial Development & Manufacturing category at the awards ceremony on the 13th September 2014. Queensland’s Engineering Excellence Awards are central to providing innovation, development and sustainability in Queensland engineering. Projects located anywhere in the world were eligible for entry, provided that a significant element of the engineering component was completed in Queensland.

In consultation with Australian utilities, Weber South Pacific has developed an electrically protected supply point as an in-ground installation. Whilst very unobtrusive, it is operationally accessible and safe for the public domain with the added benefit of being functional under storm water run-off and complete flood events.
