SAFETY SURFACING WITH GREATER VISIBILITY
30 Sep 2015
Omnicrete’s specialist surfacing system OmniGrip CST continues to be a top performing product. Used to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles alike, OmniGrip CST was the preferred choice for the city of Port Phillip, Victoria.
Effective and durable, Omnicrete's OmniGripCST has recently been utilised with great success in a number of projects in the City of Port Phillip, providing colour delineation to improve the safety of pedestrians and cyclists in busy regions.
Applied to a shared section of a cycle lane on the foreshore of a ‘conflict zone’ on Elwood Walk, OmniGripCST was employed in creating delineation to this high traffic area, improving the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
OmniGripCST was also recently applied at a pedestrian crossing in a busy local shopping precinct of Albert Park, increasing pedestrian visibility.
Durable and skid resistant, OmniGrip CST was the perfect choice for creating a vast improvement in traffic conditions in both of areas, offering greater visibility and safety for patrons of the region.
OmniGrip CST is specifically designed to provide a unique depth and performance balancing continued colour retention and skid resistance in both wet and dry conditions. It is a durable, coloured surfacing system comprised of thermosetting resin compound that incorporates specialist synthetic coloured aggregates.
