Visionary medico wins 40under40
This year’s First Amongst Equals winner is a passionate medical specialist but he’s also a visionary entrepreneur who has a lot in common with successful business leaders.
Safescape is the producer of an innovative escape system for underground mines designed by entrepreneur Steve Durkin.
Safescape is built around Mr Durkin’s Laddertube invention, a durable plastic underground mine escape system designed to be cheaper, easier to install and require less maintenance than conventional steel or timber ladders. The Laddertubes are manufactured in a facility in Forrestfield, after having initially been outsourced to a manufacturing firm in Victoria.
Safescape has also created a transportable reusable bund, or retaining wall system, which can be deployed in a range of applications, including walkways or edge protection in open pit or underground mines, replacing traditional concrete forms.
