Presenters: Rod Ellis and Hugo Van Loon As part of a LGA Research and Development Scheme, the City of Salisbury on behalf of a collection of Councils secured funding to undertake trials in asphalt surfacing. The City of Salisbury engaged Tonkin Consulting to lead the project with support of the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) and the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI). This project was a trial of new asphalt mixes with the results to inform the development of a specification for long life asphalt for low trafficked roads which deteriorate more by environmental effects of oxidation and soil movements rather than by traffic damage. This project is collaboration between ten local governments and four asphalt contractors with the support of IPWEA to undertake trials of different asphalt mixes. The trials were carried out at 11 sites across the metropolitan Adelaide Area. This presentation outlines the findings of the trials and provides recommendations for further work based on the learnings of this project. #SpeakerPresentation
