Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2: Pavement Structural Design provides advice for the structural design of sealed road pavements. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed by the Austroads member agencies. However, as it…

This report details the testing of 21 Austroads jurisdictions mixes and one airport mix to develop a relationship between the Austroads Gyropac Gyratory compactor, which is now redundant, and the Servopac (setup to AS/NZS) and Superpave Gyratory…

This webinar presents the results of the Austroads project that developed guidelines for incident response vehicles and truck-mounted attenuators.

This report examines incident response vehicle (IRV) design and procurement, and the use of truck-mounted attenuators (TMA) in incident response. It documents the research and stakeholder consultation undertaken to inform the development of…

Use of truck-mounted attenuators (TMAs) improves responder and road user safety around incident sites. The Guidelines for the Use of Truck-Mounted Attenuators in Incident Response are intended to provide direction for practitioners where positive…

Incident response vehicles (IRVs) are used to attend incident sites to make the sites safer and provide recovery services to affected networks, vehicles and persons. They are tailor-made vehicles designed with specific considerations for the safety…

This Pavement Work Tip provides information on the essential elements of the calibration process for bitumen sprayers.

This Pavement Work Tip details the general principles affecting aggregate size selection and provides recommended aggregate sizes for a range of sealing treatments.

This Pavement Work Tip outlines the procedure to allow for surface texture variations by pre-spraying of additional binder.

This Pavement Work Tip provides instructions on how to minimise sprayed sealing handwork and gives some suggestions for maximising the use of a sprayer when sealing tapers and roundabouts.
