Australian instant highway firm Global Road Technology (GRT) engaged to supply revolutionary soil stabilization and dust suppression products at Melbourne Airport providing a environmentally friendly dust control and soil stabilization solution for ongoing building works.

GRT developed a soil specific environmentally friendly product for the site as part of a contract with Melbourne Airport to use their products to minimize dust pollution both in and around the airport and airfields and the adjoining suburbs.

GRT Director Ben Skinner is looking forward to commencing the project that will provide an opportunity to demonstrate the versatility of the infrastructure firm’s products on a landmark site which will present unique challenges.

“Applying our products at Melbourne Airport presents an exciting opportunity as it allows us to show the versatility of our services in a dynamic environment,” Mr Skinner said.

“We are dealing with environmentally sensitive perimeter security roads and other access points to provide an all weather access allowing airport personnel can get to the airfield during ongoing construction works in and around the site.

Our research and development department has developed a specific product to deal with the challenging soil conditions which again highlights the benefits of our ongoing investment in innovation.”
