Preventative Ice Treatment

Many Tasmanians are very familiar with the hazard posed by ice formation on public roads. As part of our drive to innovate and provide better services to the state and traveling public, Stornoway has pioneered the use of environmentally friendly chemical ice treatments in Tasmania.

By applying a spray on solution, the treatment both prevents ice formation (if applied prior to icy conditions) or causes rapid ice breakdown, resulting in a safer driving environment faster. With numerous studies showing negligible environmental impact, the treatments are considered best-practice and widely used in sensitive alpine areas in Australia and overseas. The treatments were being trialed in Tasmania by the Hobart and Glenorchy City Councils.
