On this occasion the Gold Coast Council, Griffith University, local aboriginal artists, students from various local schools and Global Safe Technologies Gold Coast were involved jointly in the walkway safety and beautification project.
The council provided the funding and specification, Griffith University organised the project, Global Safe Technologies Gold Coast, a part of Global Safe Technologies Australia, provided the technical know how and application of the anti slip surface, the local aboriginal artist the design and the students from the schools contributed the artistic finish, which included the actual creation of the mural on the walkway.
This joint work has completed successfully in spite of the less than favourable weather conditions and the good-looking and anti slip surface is now available for the public to enjoy and use and already lots of positive comments are being made.
To comply with the Council’s specification, The Floor Tuff Green environmentally friendly polyurethane anti slip coating was chosen as the anti slip surface due to its proven sustainability.
Global Safe Technologies Gold Coast also assisted the school with paint selection to ensure that the renovated surface slip resistance will not be effected.
The local aboriginal artists provided several designs, which were painted on the non slip surface by the students. It was not only fun for the students, but also allowed them to be proud of the result of their work, which will be enjoyed by them as well as the general public.
The Council is also taking up the Floor Safety Maintenance Programme (FSMP), which is also offered to them as part of the solution, to ensure that this ideal floor safety solution provided will remain intact now and in the future.
