Richard Loader

Techgen20 was founded by Richard Loader, an intelligent transport systems specialist with more than 24 years of experience delivering transport technology and major infrastructure projects across Australia and the United Kingdom.

Why Techgen20 exists

From an engineering idea to a proven survey platform

After working across motorway, tunnel, rail and roadside technology projects, Richard identified an opportunity to modernise temporary traffic surveys.

Techgen20 applies proven intelligent transport systems technology to a portable roadside platform, making traffic surveys safer to deploy, easier to monitor and more useful for clients.

What began as an idea to improve traditional traffic-counting methods has developed into a field-proven platform capable of collecting vehicle counts, classification, speed, direction and origin-and-destination data.

Experience behind the technology

Before founding Techgen20, Richard held engineering, project delivery and senior leadership roles with Costain in the United Kingdom and Downer and UGL in Australia.

  • Intelligent transport systems
  • Systems integration and commissioning
  • Motorway, tunnel, rail and roadside technology
  • Project delivery and tender leadership
  • Practical Australian infrastructure experience

The approach

Proven technology, made portable

That experience now underpins Techgen20's approach: combining proven transport technology with a portable, practical traffic-survey system built for Australian road networks.

Our aim is simple: deliver better traffic data without putting people or equipment in live traffic lanes.
