Setting the global standard starts with getting it right on the ground.

NTRO delivers infrastructure measurement capability that’s unmatched anywhere in the world, built on more than 60 years of applied expertise.

At the core of this is edge processing in every vehicle.
Data is processed and validated as it’s captured, meaning insight is already forming before the vehicle leaves the network.

It’s a fundamentally different approach, and no one else is doing it.
It’s what allows us to deliver faster, more reliable intelligence without compromise.

All of it designed, operated and delivered locally, shaped by real network conditions and the practical realities faced by councils and state agencies across Australia and New Zealand.

World-leading capability. Locally delivered. A Trusted Partner

A snapshot of NTRO’s fleet doing what it does best across Australia

Pictured here are NTRO’s iPAVE vehicles collecting road network data in the Pilbara and on roads throughout the ACT, including the route to Tidbinbilla Space Centre. Also featured is one of our NSV vehicles on the road north of Adelaide, supporting dilapidation surveys associated with major infrastructure development.

Whether it's network condition assessments, asset management data or project-specific investigations, every kilometre travelled helps deliver the insights needed to make smarter infrastructure decisions.

Delivering Data. Driving Insights.

Geveko renews certification for Rollgrip CST in Queensland

It’s good news for the team at Geveko Marking Australia Pty Ltd, who have secured three-year renewals for their Rollgrip Coloured Surfacing Treatment (CST), covering deployment on sprayed seal and concrete surfaces (Level 1) and asphalt (Level 3). The organisation has also committed to pursuing Level 2 certification for sprayed seal and concrete applications in the near future.

NTRO’s Executive Director International and Leader - Certification and Events, Alan Hay, congratulated the team on the renewal.

“It's always pleasing to see proponents seek renewal for their current certifications. It demonstrates Geveko’s commitment to rigorous independent assessment and confidence in their products, which is ultimately beneficial for Queenslanders and the road networks managed and maintained by TMR.”
