Queensland-based engineering company Global Road Technology (GRT) has ventured into an exclusive partnership with TotalEnergies Marketing Australia.
Under the partnership, TotalEnergies will serve as GRT’s exclusive distributor of environmentally safe, sustainable dust suppression products designed to stabilise soil while reducing the spread of airborne particulate pollution at mine sites.
Troy Adams, chief executive officer of GRT, said his company’s new relationship with TotalEnergies will allow GRT to promote and foster its autonomous SMART (Sustainable, Mining, Autonomously, Reporting Technology) Dosing Units, which use data and automation to help in mitigating particulate pollution to the mine sites serviced by the wider TotalEnergies network.
“This partnership with TotalEnergies Marketing Australia will be transformational for our business and the entire GRT team is looking forward to the opportunity to significantly build our presence within the Australian and international mining services market,” Adams said.
“What is becoming apparent is that the reputation of GRT for providing eco-friendly, sustainable and effective products to control particulate pollution for the purpose of protecting the environment, mining site personnel, along with local communities, is growing and was one of the core drivers of this new deal.”
GRT is a leading developer of an innovative product suite of dust suppression non-toxic chemical applications that comes with its engineered dosing and application techniques.
GRT’s Australian-made SMART Dosing Units consist of central control and satellite communication module, combined with electrical and mechanical hardware that enables GRT to remotely control and automate product dosage, error detection and flow rates.
These smart dosing units are also equipped with WiFi technology to allow for remote management and communication between units to ensure accurate dosage is distributed across the site, minimising wastage and maximising efficacy.
“We are pleased to be appointed as GRT’s exclusive distributor, which complements TotalEnergies Marketing Australia’s mining offer and technical support for its customers,” said Andrew Druwitt, TotalEnergies Marketing Australia’s national mining manager.
“This partnership perfectly illustrates TotalEnergies’ focus on customer centricity by providing innovative products and services which address customer needs and also contribute to their sustainable development strategy.”
