Lloyd Creek Civil the home of the Flat Earther. An innovative solution for unsealed corrugated roads, the Flat Earther concept evolved from many hours spent driving on uncomfortable outback roads. Many roads in Australia are largely unsealed, comprising of primarily dirt, gravel or crushed stone surfaces. Unsealed roads are prone to becoming corrugated. Sometimes referred to as a washboard road, corrugations appear as wavy or ridged surfaces caused by the repeated passage of vehicles. The action of vehicles
driving over an unsealed road at speed can produce corrugations by both loosening and compacting surface road material. Over time this simultaneously loosened and compacted material forms undulating, repetitive ridges and grooves which not only result in an comfortable road for passengers, but are potentially damaging to vehicles, freight and transported content. The Flat Earther works to 'flatten' your road – with benefits that include:
-
Australian Design Rules Compliant (ADR 13/00, ADR 42/04 & ADR 43/04)
-
Reduced impact on vehicles – wheels, tyres, suspension, brakes.
-
Improved driver, passenger and livestock comfort.
-
Improved conditions for transported equipment and contents.
-
Improved road conditions for travel efficiency.
