This Pavement Work Tip provides guidance on the characteristics of bituminous surfacing treatments, including user performance requirements.

This Pavement Work Tip details the production and paving of EME2, a high modulus asphalt produced with a very hard paving grade bitumen and a high binder content.

Austroads has published two technical reports drawing together the research underpinning changes made to key components of the Guide to Pavement Technology. The reports detail the technical basis for changes made to 

This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to the light application of bituminous binder to an existing asphalt or spray seal surface to increase the binder level on the surface and prevent aggregate loss.

This report documents the technical basis of the 2010, 2012 and 2017 editions of Austroads&rsquo

This study investigated the relationship between cutter oil properties and sprayed seal performance so that this information could be used as a basis for updating Australian Standard 3568. AS 3568 specifies the properties of four different types of…

This report examines the viability of using recycled plastics in asphalt and sprayed seals by Australian and New Zealand road authorities. The report presents the findings of a literature review, including case studies of local and overseas road…

This document sets out the performance requirements expected of bitumen sprayers operating in Australia and New Zealand.

For a consistent and high quality of sprayed sealing work to be undertaken, and for sprayed sealing to remain a viable surfacing…

This webinar, presented on 11 July 2019, provides an overview of an Austroads project that compared the test properties of seven commercially available cutter oils with their sprayed seal performance.

The use of stabilisation technology for stabilising and recycling materials for pavement construction and maintenance is widely accepted as a cost-effective method of improving long‑term performance and reducing whole-of-life costs of modern,…
