Frangible Masts / Frangible Approach Poles / Frangible Windsock Poles / Anemometer Masts

We are excited to announce that Sydney Airport has installed our FAA compliant frangible masts as part of the airside Stop Bar project at 47 taxiway/runway intersections across its three runways. This not only completes a $25 million runway safety upgrade programme by the airport, but also marks our launch into this market with our frangible stop bars.

The project marks an evolvement from our core frangible approach mast airside safety products. We have stepped into the stop bar market after recognising that our frangible masts could be adapted to suit the needs of Sydney Airport.

Just as antennae, anemometer, windsock and approach masts need to be frangible, so too do the masts housing the microwave sensors which send signals to ATC for Stop Bar operation. Stop Bars provide protection at runway/taxiway intersections and reduce the risk of runway incursions.

Andy Sole, Strategic Development Director of ATG, the light manufacturers and installers who commissioned us for the project said: "Pollite was always a leading candidate to supply the frangible masts for the Sydney Stop Bars project. They provided a fully compliant, cost effective solution for the project, helping to ensure the work was completed to the exacting standards expected by a major airport such as Sydney.”
