OmniGrip Direct - Australia Wide

It was unfortunate to see this January saw the highest numbers of fatalities in 14 years for any January period on Victorian roads.   It’s also alarming that the share of overall deaths for vulnerable road users including motorcycle riders, bike riders, pedestrians and other riders is also increasing from the same period in 2024.   Anyone looking to prevent road deaths on their network with quickly applied, proven solution should get in touch with us here at OmniGrip Direct via 1300 961 678 to find out more about our #High Friction Surface Treatment as shown in this installation on the iconic #GreatOceanRoad.   #roadsafety #vulnerableroadusers #roadtoll

The Australian Automobile Association reports Australia’s #roadtoll has risen for four consecutive years. In 2024, #pedestrian deaths rose 7.1%, #cyclist deaths 11.8%, and #motorcyclist deaths 10.3%—the deadliest year for motorbikes (278 deaths) since 1989. Despite record road spending, vulnerable road users remain at risk. It’s time to prioritise durable, compliant and proven #roadsafety solutions targeting high-risk locations. OmniGrip Direct’s high-friction surfaces and pothole repairs meet these needs, helping reduce crashes and fatalities on all local, State and Federal roads.

We're excited to share that Melbourne Airport has enhanced safety in its Terminal 4 Car Park by upgrading polished concrete ramps with our High Friction Surface Treatment. This innovative solution addressed key challenges, including: 👉 Improving skid resistance on slippery ramps 👉Enhancing vehicle control and reducing speeds 👉Ensuring uninterrupted operations during works Our tailored solution included: 👉Applying OmniGrip HF to 2,100 m² of ramps 👉Custom staging to maintain full site accessibility The impact? 👉 Improved safety: Reduced skidding, braking distances, and crash risks 👉Cost efficiency: Durable, low-maintenance surface with long-term savings 👉Sustainability: Extended lifespan minimises replacements and waste Plus, recent independent skid resistance testing showed the new surface achieved approximately 50% above the minimum standard required in Vicroads Section 430 for High Friction Surface Treatments, setting a new benchmark for ramp safety. By prioritising safety, efficiency, and sustainability, Melbourne Airport demonstrates the value of innovative surface treatments in creating safer environments for drivers.

You might have seen the recent media coverage across news.com.au, i98FM - WIN Corporation Pty Ltd or The New England Times highlighting the Minister for Regional Transport & Roads, Jenny Aitchison, and Transport for NSW's innovative glow-in-the-dark road markings being installed on Bulli Pass between Wollongong and Sydney.      As lead partners of this initiative, we’re excited to see Smarterlite photoluminescent linemarking in action, powered by their cutting-edge technology. 👉 What are glow roads?  Our photoluminescent line markings absorb sunlight during the day and glow at night, enhancing visibility for drivers. Designed to improve safety in low-light and adverse weather conditions, they’re an eco-friendly alternative for areas where street lighting isn’t practical.     👉 Why Bulli Pass?  This steep descent, a major entry point into Wollongong, has recorded 125 near-misses between 9pm and 4am in the past year. By installing glow-in-the-dark markings on the hairpin turn and adding glow signage, we aim to reduce risks for all road users, from trucks to motorbikes. 👉 Proven innovation  Thoroughly tested at Transport’s Future Mobility Testing and Research Centre, Glow Roads meet Australian standards, including slip resistance for all vehicle types.      The trial will run for six months, with data and driver insights guiding potential expansion across NSW. We applaud the NSW government for facilitating innovation and supporting Australian companies.      #OmniGripDirect #GlowRoads #RoadSafety #Innovation #Sustainability #Smarterlite #PolarEnviro
