MG Squared’s innovative mounts enhance CCTV maintainability
When an innovative solution to maintain cameras while minimising lane closures and bucket trucks on the new Tappan Zee Bridge, (formally known as the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge) was needed, MG Squared answered the call. Over 60 custom designed camera lowering devices are in operation on this remarkable structure, spanning the Hudson between Tarrytown and Nyack New York, just north of New York city. This project highlights, once again, how the team at MG Squared can improve surveillance camera maintainability while boosting camera efficiency and overall safety.

IRD’s TACS screens vehicles for unsafe tyres
IRD’s Tire Anomaly and Classification System (TACS) is an innovative technology that identifies potentially dangerous tyre anomalies before accidents occur. Tyre anomalies are conditions such as underinflated, flat, missing or mismatched tyres. These tyre problems can result in vehicle imbalance, reduced maneuverability, improper load distribution, reduced braking performance, poor fuel economy, and reduced tyre life. Pavement damage can also result from increased loads on tyres when adjacent tyres are flat or mismatched in size.
