IF YOU THINK FLATTER IS BETTER
IT'S TIME TO THINK FLAT EARTHER

Lloyd Creek Civil

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.

Flat Earther

Flat Earther evolved from decades spent driving on unsealed, corrugated Australian outback roads — over 30 years' experience driving work utes, heavy vehicles and road trains. Founder 'Chesty' Williams thought there must be a way to solve this corrugated road problem, as he was sure many outback road users have experienced these harsh road conditions.

Concept

Many roads in Australia are largely unsealed, comprising of dirt, gravel and/or crushed stone surfaces. Unsealed roads are prone to becoming corrugated. These corrugations appear as undulating, repetitive ridges and grooves. The action of vehicles driving over the road at speed increases these corrugations – both loosening and compacting road material into the corrugated (washboard) surface so well-known by Australian Outback drivers.

Solution

Imagine a solution for drivers of any type - utes, heavy trucks, road trains, and 4WD work force, as well as travellers and grey nomads — imagine the ability the 'flatten' your road with your Patented Australian designed and made Flat Earther providing a safer, more comfortable road to travel.
