Project — access gates
Bi-parting sliding gates.
Replacing a slow and unreliable 12-metre gate with a faster, smoother system for a busy industrial site.
The challenge
An ageing gate affecting site access
The client’s single 12-metre sliding gate had become slow and unreliable after years of service. Frequent truck access had damaged the track, the gate had developed a slight bow following an earlier impact, and the long unsupported span could cause it to wobble while moving.
- Damaged track from frequent heavy-vehicle access
- A slight bow in the gate following an earlier impact
- Gate movement and wobble caused by the long span
- Worn drive wheels and guide rollers
- Intermittent failures that stopped the gate operating
The solution
A new bi-parting gate system
After reviewing the site and comparing the available options, Highway Electrical recommended replacing the single gate with a new bi-parting arrangement. The installation included two new gate sections, a new track and guide rollers, and a new A-frame to support the second half of the gate.

After installation
Faster, smoother and more reliable access
- The new gates opened and closed much faster
- The previous gate wobble was eliminated
- Gate movement became noticeably smoother
- Site staff and contractors no longer waited more than a minute for the gate to open
- Gate faults dropped to zero following the installation
