New \u201cinstant highway\u201d facility brings safety and<\/strong> pollution solution to Darling Downs and State\u2019s most hazardous roads <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Revolutionary road surfacing and soil stabilization company, Global Road Technology, has opened a new manufacturing and services facility on the Warrego Highway providing a massive boost to the region\u2019s manufacturing industry and employment as well as improving road safety.<\/p>\n

The new 16,000-sqm facility that includes factory and office space, locates the global cutting-edge \u201cinstant highway\u201d provider in the heart of the booming mining region and one of Queensland\u2019s most dangerous places to drive.<\/p>\n

GRT director Ben Skinner said the company was working on the Southern Downs for Australia\u2019s largest Liquefied Natural Gas company and would expand north to minimise the mining boom\u2019s environmental impact on roads as well as increase road safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cGRT products use in-situ material to mitigate dust and soil stabilization issues by up to 95 percent on rural roads whilst reducing traffic volumes, water usage, fuel usage and landowner complaints,\u201d Mr Skinner said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThese measures increase safety and environmental sustainability on rural and regional roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

The booming gas and coal mining industry, increases in traffic, and escalating road maintenance demands have been linked to a sharp rise in the number of road accidents in the Darling Down.<\/p>\n

The Southeast region suffered an increase of 21 road fatalities in 2013 over figures for 2012.\u00a0 In the Darling Downs alone, 23 people were killed on roads, compared to nine in 2012.<\/p>\n

The battering by heavy traffic of rural roads in the region has not only made the roads more dangerous, but caused dust and pollution of the environment.<\/p>\n

Western Downs Mayor Ray Brown said roads in the region were simply unable to cope. Traffic on the Warrego Highway alone had increased by around 18,000 vehicles, he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Skinner said the GRT technology and the company\u2019s Darling Downs base would contribute to a safer, more sustainable and environmentally friendly road solution for the region.<\/p>\n

GRT products reduced dust and erosion levels by up to 98 per cent, reduced water requirements for dust control, reduced truck and equipment maintenance, and reduced landowner complaints, he said.<\/p>\n

The technology increased safety, material density and strength, and truck utilisation, he said.<\/p>\n

GRT\u2019s polymer dust suppression<\/a> and soil stabilization<\/a> technology was able to create instant road infrastructure \u2013 saving time, money and resources \u2013 compared to the construction of conventional roads.<\/p>\n

Demand for GRT products in the Darling Downs region had seen volume increase to over 100,000 tonnes of product a week, with GRT delivering a 37 percent cost saving to companies on conventional road maintenance, Mr Skinner said.<\/p>\n

Global Road Technology is used across India, North and South America.<\/p>\n

The company recently signed a $116 million deal with Indian construction and energy giant Triace to lay its soil stabilization technology on 7,000 kilometres of road in India.<\/p>\n
