Short-term price pain will produce a dramatic long-term gain on a company\u2019s bottom line<\/strong>, according to an independent study into an innovative road dust suppression solution.<\/p>\n

Prepared by respected firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu for Australian \u201cinstant\u201d infrastructure company Global Road Technology, the analysis compared conventional water suppression for road construction and maintenance activities against the specially formulated cross-linked co-polymer road dust suppression<\/strong> product, GRT7000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Engineered for use in civil construction, GRT7000<\/a> concentrate is diluted with water before being loaded into a water tank and applied to any dusty, unsealed road using standard spray equipment.<\/p>\n

Deloitte\u2019s analysis concluded that while the initial cost outlay for road dust suppression<\/strong> using the GRT approach was higher than the alternative, the ongoing maintenance was significantly less. Equipment utilisation was reduced greatly, delivering a break-even cost for ongoing road dust suppression<\/strong> very quickly.<\/p>\n

The report revealed GRT\u2019s road dust suppression<\/strong><\/a> product used on the QGC\u2019s road network delivered almost 37 per cent cost savings over two years for QGC. Companies that use the product over a 10-year period could almost halve (45.5 per cent) their costs.<\/p>\n

Deloitte used cost-modelling assumptions and industry rates to prove GRT7000\u2019s cost benefits over other conventional water-only road dust suppression<\/strong> options. This involved preparing a costing in line with the current industry best practice for each product application and methodology proposed.<\/p>\n

Global Road Technology\u2019s chief financial officer Herman Allison said he was not surprised by the findings, which were released earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always knew our product was the best in the business, and this latest analysis from Deloitte has confirmed it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeloitte has an international reputation for conducting cost-benefit analyses. Because of our global reach, we needed an internationally-recognised brand to confirm our comparative cost-benefit claims.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deloitte also engaged engineering and construction services firm SMEC to assist with the project.<\/p>\n

Its civil engineering and transportation planning consultants worked as independent technical advisers, while a specialist quantity surveyor assisted with the identification of the appropriate cost base and operational assumptions to support the financial analysis.<\/p>\n

Mr Allison said that together Deloitte and SMEC offered a specialist team with relevant experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeloitte brought a unique combination of specialist infrastructure advisory services, financial and business modelling, and economic analysis experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a global firm with a highly regarded brand which ensured the credibility and independence of this analysis and findings.\u201d<\/p>\n

GRT is based in southeast Queensland and operates in India, the USA, South America, and Indonesia, producing over 40 tonnes of soil-specific products a day. In Australia, GRT also works closely with the CSG and resources sector.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s technology and products solve road-stabilisation and road dust suppression<\/strong> problems for all types of roads\u2014from major highways and freeways to haulage, industrial and rural roads, tarmacs, hardstand areas, and water-repellent pavements.<\/p>\n

The technology can be applied to clay, silt, sand, and gravel materials to create instant, safer, and sustainable infrastructure.<\/p>\n
