What went wrong
Lightning destroyed unmanaged switches. Automated gates froze.
What it cost if nothing changed
Port obstruction fines plus haulier detention claims — about RM 68,000.
What we would put in place
We used surge-protected managed switching and a local gate database so barriers can still operate when the upstream network is down.
The outcome we design for
Gates are not fully dependent on a single unprotected switch during monsoon surges.
