Hot Dip Galvanized Emergency Median Openings installed at Malaysia North South Expressway

In early 2015 PLUS awarded the Fabrication and installation of 20 Sets of Emergency Median Opening (EMO) for the southern region of the North South Expressway(NSE) to the company, a Joint Venture between HCM Engineering Sdn. Bhd. and Galvaco Industries Sdn. Bhd.

These EMO measure 24 meters in length and opens at the center by mechanical jacking devices. They are fabricated from structural steel in the Shah Alan plant. The various components are hot dip galvanized after fabrication for corrosion protection. The various components are then bolted together with hot dip galvanized bolts and nuts, wheels, jacking equipment and locking devices

 The EMO's are then shipped to site and installed by attaching to the existing hot dip galvanized highway safety guardrails starting from Seremban, Negeri Sembilan to Johor Bahru. The project was successfully completed and handed over to PLUS before end 2015.
