Nigeria’s First Monorail in Tinapa Goes Live

Lilleker Bros associate company in Nigeria – Lilleker Brothers Nigeria, were awarded the contract to install the electrical control equipment for Nigeria’s first monorail which would connect the CICC (Calabar International Convention Centre) with Tinapa Business and Leisure Resort.

Works on this large scale project commenced in September 2013 through to early 2016.

Lilleker Bros Ltd approached Glasdon UK for equipment housing solutions required to securely protect the electrical control equipment along the route.

The Garrison™ in situ in Nigeria.

Lilleker required a versatile, tough and highly durable solution which could be supplied in a range of sizes to meet the different specifications of each equipment station.

The Garrison™ GRP Modular Housing was selected as the ideal solution.
