Recently at Nelson Port, Interbloc units were subjected to a significant real-world impact after being struck by heavy machinery, involving an excavator weighing approximately 30 tonnes.
Despite the force of the collision, the Interbloc blocks remained standing, clearly demonstrating the inherent strength, stability, and resilience of the system.
This incident highlights the safety and performance benefits of reinforced Interbloc systems, which are engineered not only to retain ground but also to protect people, assets, and operational continuity in high-risk environments such as ports, industrial sites, and transport hubs.
Real-world events like this provide powerful validation of why properly engineered, reinforced infrastructure solutions matter. In locations subject to heavy plant movement and constrained operating conditions, the consequences of failure can be severe. In this instance, the robustness of the Interbloc system helped mitigate what could have been a far more serious outcome.
At Envirocon, we are proud to supply and support Interbloc solutions that perform when it matters most, delivering confidence, safety, and resilience in demanding applications.
