Haul-road quality drives 50% of your mining costs, yet remains un-monitored. RoadGuard provides continuous visibility to optimize maintenance and maximize productivity.
Poor road conditions increase rolling resistance, forcing trucks to burn more fuel. Optimal roads reduce fuel consumption significantly.
Catch road deterioration before it damages tire casings. Proactive maintenance prevents accelerated wear, your second-highest cost after fuel.
Studies show a 1% rolling resistance increase means 10% slower on ramps and 26% slower on flats (Thompson, 2022). Continuous monitoring identifies bottlenecks impacting fleet productivity.
Objective measurement holds contractors accountable. Before/after data proves maintenance effectiveness and justifies budgets.
From box to live data in 45 minutes. Small, self-contained device with industrial-grade reliability proven in the world's harshest environments.

From Sensors to Decisions
RoadGuard serves mining operations, road maintenance contractors, and municipal road departments with continuous road condition monitoring.
Haulage represents up to 50% of mining operating costs, yet most mines manage roads reactively with visual inspections. Autonomous fleets eliminate even driver feedback. You're managing a critical cost driver with insufficient visibility. RoadGuard changes that, reducing fuel consumption, extending tire life, and boosting production.
Mining clients demand proof your treatments work. Visual inspections can't demonstrate ROI objectively. Without data, you're competing on price alone.
2.2M miles of unpaved US roads. Shrinking budgets demand proof before maintenance approvals. Residents complain, but which roads actually need attention? Without data, you're grading based on who complains loudest.

Proven expertise in extreme environments: Shell refineries, marine floating hoses, Howden compressor monitoring. RoadGuard brings this same industrial-grade engineering to mining fleet operations.

Mining operations, maintenance contractors, and municipal road departments on what changed once haul-road condition became something they could measure.
“RoadGuard has transformed how we manage our haul roads. The data is objective, the install was painless, and the ROI was immediate. We now catch degradation before it impacts productivity.”
“RoadGuard sets us apart from other contractors. We can prove our treatments work with objective data, which helps us win and retain mining clients.”
“Finally, we can justify maintenance budgets with hard data. Community dashboards show residents exactly where their tax dollars go. Council approval for road maintenance has never been easier.”

From Australian outback to African mines to US county roads, RoadGuard performs in the harshest conditions. Validated across diverse climates, road surfaces, and vehicle types worldwide.
Partnered with a leading Australian road-train operator across hundreds of thousands of kilometers of unsealed haul road. Dust, heat, and constant vibration from 53-meter road trains. After 1+ year of continuous operation, the hardware and data remain rock-solid.
Deployed across 5+ mining sites in Africa and India. Laterite, gravel, crushed rock - proven across diverse road surfaces and vehicle makes. From tropical heat to monsoon conditions, consistent performance in every climate.
6 counties across northern US deploying RoadGuard for gravel road maintenance. Freeze-thaw cycles, harsh winters, limited budgets. Mapping thousands of kilometers of unpaved roads to prioritize where crews work first.
FIELD STUDY · IN FINAL REVIEW
Every mine grades its roads. None can prove what it buys. From June to October, at the largest open-pit gold mine in the world, the haul trucks themselves measured every stretch they drove — while six graders were GPS-tracked, pass by pass. The result puts numbers on what a grading session actually changes, how long the effect holds, and where the next blade hour pays most — and where it buys nothing at all.
No large upfront investment required. Start with a few trucks, scale when you see the value. Buy & Try programs available to prove ROI before committing.
