Hi all
If that element snaps and spears a member of the public it would cause serious injuries


Cheers

Hi Martin

Straight after we were advised of that broken element we rotated the beam so that the hanging element was over the equipment enclosure instead of over the pathway. Here are the "Before" and "After" pictures. We are currently working on getting the certified mast-people and a cherry picker in place to correct the problem. Please contact Dave if you can assist.

  

Regards, Mark.
