Tru-Gard™ Mesh Tunnel System at Building Supplies Facility

We are now manufacturing a game-changing new safety walkway system that has already transformed this busy warehouse facility into the ultimate protection zone for those traversing it on foot. Here’s a peek at our inaugural project at Winstone Wallboards, a building supplies manufacturer based in Tauranga, New Zealand.

Our R&D department was keen to get involved right from the beginning of this new-build project and became fully invested in making the client’s vision happen, taking on their requests to design, develop and engineer this new state-of-the-art safety system according to the site-specific needs. Working to the project scope, finding solutions, building prototypes, perfecting brace points, and physically testing the overall strength and endurance of the proposed system – we were thrilled to be able to work so closely with the Fletcher Building team to develop exactly what was needed at their new facility.

These are the special features that made it the must-have safety system for their high-risk traffic zone:

* Fully encased protection from all sides, including falling objects from above

* Modular installation with a minimal footprint to prevent encroachment on the surrounding storage space

* Long, straight tunnel length with full structural integrity, strength, and impact-resistance

* Fully tested and code-compliant

* High-visibility yellow that stands out a mile away

* Personnel gates included for safe exiting along the way

The post-installation feedback from our client was a thrill to receive!
“Tru-Bilt Industries exceeded Winstone Wallboards’ expectations by engineering and delivering a solution that surpassed everyday safety measures. Their ability to innovate and adapt to the unique layout and risks of the warehouse ensured that all safety concerns were comprehensively addressed. They engineered the optimal solution to meet our needs!”
