Case studies
SteelGuard XL
Christchurch Local Roads
SteelGuard XL application in Christchurch suburban streets has overachieved expected pavement maintenance outcomes. This case study profiles pavement preparation, benefits of SteelGuard XL properties and how the product was applied with a pavement saver machine to achieve uniformity.
BRP Road Patch®
Hastings District Council
BRP Road Patch® has provided a cost-effective pavement repair or reinstatement option across the Hastings District Council rural road network. This case study profiles typical uses adopted across the network from trench reinstatement to bridge deck approaches, and the beneficial economics of using BRP Road Patch.
BRP Road Patch®
Transport Rebuild East Coast
BRP Road Patch® has helped the East Coast team manage pavement repairs due to water ingress, with 50-60% more potholes occurring due to cyclones and heavy rain. This case study profiles how BRP Road Patch has provided mitigation against a weakened pavement due to water ingress across State Highways’ 2 and 35.
BRP Road Patch®
Taranaki State Highway Maintenance
BRP Road Patch® has provided the Taranaki state highway maintenance team a maintenance solution that has proven to be an effective barrier against water intrusion helping eliminate repeat trips to repair weakened areas of pavement. This case study profiles the climatic conditions, typical applications and methodology adopted to make BRP Road Patch a seamless solution for remediation of well trafficked highway routes.
BRP Road Patch®
Downer Rotokawa
BRP Road Patch® provided an ideal surface repair for resurfacing sections of pavement on the Desert Road, State Highway 1 following pavement testing. This case study profiles how BRP Road Patch® was used to cover test patches taken from sections of SHI Turangi to Waiouru, where water penetration running up from a 300mm deep cement stablilised pavement was causing significant failures.
BRP Road Patch
Hurunui District Council
BRP Road Patch® has provided an inventive solution to prevent slippage on pedestrian ramps, with BRP Road Patch® being placed on top of metal ramps providing a friction surface allowing a safe crossing for pedestrians. This case study profiles how BRP Road Patch® was used as part of a revamp of Amberely Town Centre’s main street crossing ensuring an effective non-slip surface over the metal plates bridging kerb and channel.
MacRebur MR6
Auckland International Airport
MacRebur MR6 was used to develop a high performing AC 20 dense graded asphalt for Auckland International Airport apron areas on Stage 4 of the Fuel Network and “Checkpoint Charlie” upgrade. This case study outlines the use and application of MR6 in asphalt works (ensuring compliance with AASHTO M332 bitumen specification) and dual performance and sustainability benefits achieved.
MacRebur MR6 Resurfacing
Resurfacing Rogaland Region, Western Norway
MacRebur MR6 provided a substitute to a premium polymer modified bitumen mix for the Norwegian Roads Authority for a two-lane local road in Hommersakveien. This case study identifies the constructability advantages and benefits of using MacRebur MR6 as a binder, its performance and sustainability gains.
SteelGuard XL
SeaLink Terminal,
Wynyard Quarter
SteelGuard XL application allowed existing ferry ground infrastructure to be rejuvenated to coincide with the opening of a new hub for SeaLink ferries to Waiheke and Great Barrier Island. This was achieved without any interruption to ferry journeys. This case study profiles how SteelGuard XL was used to rejuvenate existing asphalt surfaces in stages including some older surfaces with exposed aggregates that had degraded due to construction traffic.
SteelGuard XL
Russell Boat Ramp Upgrade
SteelGuard XL provided a final surface coat for the Russell Boat ramp carpark and ramp approach. This case study profiles how SteelGuard XL has provided a wearing surface for the Russell boat ramp approach and parking area, overlaying structural asphalt. SteelGuard’s coverage with higher film thickness due to higher aggregate/binder content helped fill in any voids in the asphalt.
SteelGuard XL
International carpark changes at Auckland Airport
SteelGuard XL provided a cost-effective resurfacing option for lower-level carparks after construction work to add an elevated level above was completed. This case study outlines how SteelGuard XL provided an effective solution for this carpark retrofit project, tying in the new and aged asphalt.
BRP Road Patch®
New Plymouth
BRP Road Patch® has increased pavement resilience and proved an effective mitigation in areas with degrading pavement, despite the volume of traffic and limited speed reductions. This case study profiles two projects undertaken in the New Plymouth District Council area, one a State Highway diversion through a satellite town with repairs undertaken prior and another holding a failed trench reinstatement.
