1:20 PM Managing Pavement Performance for Increased Optimisation of Road Infrastructure

This session will explore Wollongong city’s geotechnical investigations of pavement performance. Developers have been able to recycle leftover materials from road surfacing which contributes to the future proofing of pavement infrastructure. Results show that of the 880km of road within the city, 71% are currently performing within their design parameters despite the infrastructure being more than two and half times their design life. This case study will include:

Initial How council manages to construct given the challenge of 140 mapped out landslides that affect their road infrastructure
Comparing costs: Reconstruction is around $260/ m2; Resurfacing or rehabilitation is between $16 to $46/m2
