Water Use Reduction
Scope of Work
- 10 km (250,000 m²) of high-traffic haul roads serving Caterpillar 785B trucks hauling 137.5-tonne iron ore payloads
- T-PRO® polymer stabilization reduced rolling resistance from 6–9% down to 3%, cutting fuel burn and accelerated tire wear
- 90% reduction in water consumption and 75% reduction in spray fleet — ongoing maintenance costs slashed
- 70% reduction in grading frequency; brake tests confirmed significantly higher braking resistance on treated surface
23% Fuel Savings · 18% Longer Tire Life · 7× Compressive Strength
TTI-validated 7× compressive strength gain transformed a major cost center into a high-availability, profit-driving haul road.
