Recently refurbished the car park entrance to the Queensland Health building in Charlotte Street, Brisbane proudly displays a designer finish combining safety, aesthetics and durability.

Finished in a combination of Burnt Orange and Silver Grey Synthite aggregates the OmniGrip Deco surfacing replaces the dated smooth epoxy painted finish that had become an OHS slip related issue particularly for cyclists entering the car park on wet weather days.

Combining durability, functionality and designer looks the OmniGrip Deco finish also gets the green tick of approval providing a finished surfacing that is comprised of 75% recycled content and meets the Green Building Council of Australia specification requirements for:

• Green Star Office Design V2 IEQ‐13

• Green Star Office Interiors V1.1 IEQ‐11

High Friction Trials, Adelaide, Sth Australia 2008

tech@omnicrete.com.au — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:07:28 +0000

In February 2008, The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure along with the Motor Accident Commission commissioned trials of calcined bauxite high friction surfacing overlays at 2 major Adelaide intersections in a bid to cut rear-end crashes and save lives.

Installed by local contractor High Friction Surfaces Australia, works encompassed the installation of approximately 2,600 m2 of the OMNIGRIP HF surfacing to the busy intersections at Sturt & Marion Roads in Sturt and in turn the Henley Beach & Holbrook’s Road Junction in Brooklyn Park.

Implemented in as part of a two-year trial to evaluate the effectiveness of improving highway surface friction, the trial involves three road treatments, a calcined bauxite epoxy surface and surface rejuvenating using abrasive shot blasting and by abrasive rotating discs.

In a statement to the press, MAC senior asphalt engineer Hugo van Loon has indicated that the early trial results showed the epoxy treatment offered the best skid resistance stating:-

“The epoxy surface is very angular and provides a greater surface area for tyres to grip than a normal road surface and it takes longer to wear out than the other treatments”

This assessment is further corroborated by the DETI Grip Tester test results which demonstrate the OMNIGRIP HF surfacing has significantly increased both the surface fiction and texture depth levels ultimately providing for reduced braking distances and increased vehicle deceleration in wet weather conditions.

Bus Lanes Jiangyin, China

tech@omnicrete.com.au — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:05:24 +0000

Located on the southern bank of Yangtze River, Jiangyin City is a county level city under the jurisdiction of Wuxi that is one of thirteen prefecture level cities of Jiangsu Province. The rapid economic expansion and industrialization over the past decades has turned the city into a wealthy municipality where the industrial income is becoming prominent. The industrial sectors have gained enormous investments from national and international enterprises which have provided the city with new economic growth and infrastructure development.

With over 100 public bus lines, bus travel has become a priority within Jiangyin. In order to assist bus transit the OMNIGRIP CST coloured surface treatment finished in Green and Yellow Synthite aggregates was specified and installed to 8,500 m2 along the busy Chaoyang Road to improve efficiency, reduce travel times and to provide safe a vivid colour delineation for bus transit movement in both directions

Completed in April 2008 on behalf of Jiangyin Construction Bureau OMNIGRIP CST sets a new standard for the delineation of Bus Lane traffic for both the province and China as a whole.

Cycleway Shared Path, Perth WA

tech@omnicrete.com.au — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 06:56:11 +0000

In response to a number of complaints over the past 12 months regarding conflict between pedestrians, cyclists and train passengers, Main Roads WA in conjunction with the Public Transport Authority have completed installation of the OMNIGRIP CST surfacing system to the Claisebrook shared pathway overpass to provide better clarity for all users in order to minimise the conflict.

A ‘before’ video survey was carried out as part of the investigation and project development work and it is intended that an ‘after’ video survey will be carried on the completion of the work to assist in assessing the impacts of the treatment on user movements in this area.

Incorporating the unique Synthite coloured aggregate materials and with a projected design life in excess of 10 years, works were completed in June 2008 by Omnicrete accredited contractors Antiskid Industries Pty Ltd and by all reports have provided an immediate safety improvement for cyclists and commuters alike.
