Introduction
In today’s infrastructure landscape, longevity and sustainability are key priorities. Northern Asphalt Surfacing Ltd. recently collaborated with Chandos Civil Engineering Ltd. to execute a resurfacing project that highlights durability, precision, and adherence to council adoptable standards.
This project was more than just resurfacing; it was about engineering a roadway capable of enduring heavy traffic, environmental challenges, and the test of time.
Project Overview
Objective:
Deliver a high-performance, adoptable-standard road surface designed to withstand significant use, environmental factors, and ageing effects.
Key Partners:
Chandos Civil Engineering Ltd. – Civil engineering specialists
Northern Asphalt Surfacing Ltd. – Advanced asphalt solutions provider
Scope of Work:
The project involved a full-scale resurfacing of a high-traffic urban roadway, focusing on:
Surface Preparation – Addressing existing issues for a solid foundation
Asphalt Application – Using advanced materials for long-term performance
Sealing Techniques – Enhancing durability with cutting-edge processes
Challenges Faced
Ensuring Compliance with Council Standards
The resurfaced road had to meet strict safety and durability criteria, ensuring it was fit for long-term public use.
Preventing Premature Deterioration
Weather fluctuations and constant traffic loads posed risks of cracks and wear over time.
Seamless Adhesion Between Layers
To maintain structural integrity, it was crucial to eliminate weak points and ensure a uniform bond.
Solutions & Technical Approach
1. Meticulous Surface Preparation
The existing pavement underwent thorough cleaning and repairs to eliminate cracks and uneven surfaces.
Precision grading was performed to optimize drainage and establish a stable base for the new asphalt layer.
2. Expertly Engineered Asphalt Mix
A custom asphalt mix was designed for superior load-bearing capacity and resistance to wear.
Sustainable materials were integrated into the mix, prioritizing environmental responsibility without compromising quality.
3. Hot Bond Sealing for Enhanced Durability
A specialized hot bond sealing process was applied to create a seamless, watertight connection between asphalt layers.
This method significantly reduced the risk of moisture infiltration, extending the pavement’s lifespan and preventing premature cracking.
