The project also features our new gastight paver infill covers installed in the roadway and heavily at Central Station as well as infill covers encased in precast concrete that was tinted in dark grey to match the surrounding bitumen.<\/p>\n<p>Smart Poles are increasingly popular in the CBD and regional areas with councils adopting the new technology.\u00a0 We\u2019re currently working with a number of installers on supplying pits specifically for use with Smart Poles and developing products and covers to best suit these.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the <a href=\"http:\/\/mascotengineering.com\/sg\/products\/coreworx-jointbays\/joint-bays\/\">cable jointing pits<\/a> and covers, we supplied custom precast concrete bollards that were installed along the pedestrian section of George Street to protect pedestrians from vehicles.\u00a0 Mascot Engineering worked closely with a local wholesaler and the main contractors on this project and the team are extremely proud to have supplied this key transport infrastructure project.<\/p>\n<p>All Mascot GRC Cable Pits are manufactured in Australia.\u00a0 They\u2019re designed for the Australian
