Innovation:
The scheme was agreed to be bespoke for RNAS Yeovilton with many of the newly installed lights being mounted on frangible posts to ensure clear visibility.
BPM recommended moving the new incursion lights closer to the sides of the carriageways, as it was suggested that the height, combined with the distance was contributing to the failure to view them by passing motorists.
