Engineering
Pavement Engineering uses engineering techniques to design and maintain flexible (asphalt) and rigid (concrete) pavements.
This involves knowledge of soils, hydraulics, and material properties.
Pavements are required for streets and highways, airport runways, railway tracks, industrial building floors, hardstands, etc.
The field includes the design and lifecycle planning of new pavements, routine maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement.
Pavement Design and Management
Design and lifecycle planning of pavements are critical for infrastructure. Optimising the high costs and managing disruptions is essential for modern day transportation networks.
Routine maintenance extends pavement longevity and reduces long term cost drastically. Surface and subsurface water management is also a critical factor.
Pavement Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation of existing pavements provides alternative options for faster and lower cost interventions compared to replacement. Re-use of existing materials is essential for sustainable and responsible use of natural resources.
Materials
Identification of suitable material sources is not only essential but is also a big cost driver on any pavement project. Available material is utilised as best as possible, with possible mechanical and / or chemical modification.
Quality control and assurance is critical for the longevity of any pavement structure.
Roads, Parking Areas and Hardstands
Different land use requirements affect design considerations to match the most suitable solutions to the specific needs.
