“The aim of this third generation of Smart Guides is to provide organisations who are interested or responsible for embracing the synthetic surface technology to meet growing demands, with easy access to knowledge to help their decision making. From a decade of experience, supporting over 75 projects in Australia worth in excess of $150 million, I often see simple mistakes make that impacts on how the facilities can be managed, programmed and maintained to optimise their life expectancy and maximise usage. I have shared these insights to allow organisations to appreciate proven solutions.”
