Summit Power supplies a range of power line warning markers for the utilities, construction, mining, rail and agriculture industries.
Trusted by Australia’s biggest electricity networks, our safety markers and bird diverters help to create a zone of protection around overhead cables and lines, ensuring uninterrupted power supply and reducing the potential for harm to people, equipment and wildlife.
Increase safety and awareness of overhead lines
Less damage to assets = reduced repair costs
Decrease bird entanglement and help protect native wildlife
Powerline Safety Markers
Overhead lines present a serious safety hazard around construction zones and mine sites.
Collisions and entanglement in plant and equipment such as excavators, concrete pumping booms or EWPs can have dire consequences for workers on site, including electrocution and other severe injuries.
Even experienced workers who are familiar with the risks can become complacent and accidentally make contact with overhead lines, causing the surrounding area to become dangerously energised.
Bright visual markers such as the Quickmark discs or reflective warning flags offer a cost-effective solution for construction, mining, rail and agribusiness applications, giving plant operators a constant warning when working near overhead lines.
Our range of flags and markers provide a strong visual reminder to stay safe around energised assets, and our aerial warning spheres also provide increased power line visibility for light aircraft.

Bird Flight Diverters
Bird diverters for overhead power lines work by alerting birds to hard-to-see cables and infrastructure.
Hundreds of birds are injured or killed every year by flying into power lines, with maintenance crews often left to deal with the distressing fallout.
Endangered species like wedge-tailed eagles can easily become tangled in lines, resulting in serious injuries or death. Not only does this have a significant environmental impact, but it can also damage infrastructure and increase repair and maintenance costs.
Installing simple but effective markers like the Firefly bird diverters and Birdmark Afterglow range can dramatically reduce bird deaths across your network and keep your team from having to perform potentially dangerous rescues.
