Queensland’s long-running road research project is helping shape the future of infrastructure by tracking the real-world performance of innovative pavement materials over more than 12 years. Early results show several new technologies are matching or outperforming traditional materials, providing valuable data to support more resilient, sustainable, and efficient roads across the state.
NACOE O31: The primary purpose of this project was to assess the waste RPMs and linemarking paint wash water to determine if the waste category can be changed from regulated waste to non-regulated waste. If the waste categories can be changed, it will allow RoadTek to reduce disposal costs and may enable these materials to be recycled in the future.
NACOE is thrilled to announce the release of nine new publications, including our 10-Year Highlight report, celebrating a decade of research.
This quarter promises to be a period of significant progress across our six research streams, paving the way for a safer, more sustainable and resilient future for Queensland’s transport infrastructure. As we approach the new financial year, we’re filled with optimism and excitement for the discoveries and breakthroughs that lie ahead.
The National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACOE) has been investigating Intelligent Compaction (IC) technology and the role it can play in constructing roads in Queensland. This research focuses on the use of IC to improve the construction quality of both earthwork embankment and pavement construction. Activities have been undertaken to accelerate market acceptance in Australia.
The National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACOE) has been investigating Intelligent Compaction (IC) technology and the role it can play in constructing roads in Queensland. The aim of this research is to assess the suitability of IC for quality control in future road construction and establish a consistent data standard/protocol for IC technology.
On Friday 18th November 2022, a renewed agreement was signed between Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB), giving NACOE the green light through to 2028.
The National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACOE) continues to lead the way in delivering engineering excellence in Queensland. Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) have reaffirmed their commitment to their joint research and development initiative, NACOE, through the signing of their renewed agreement for 2021-2026.
The Logan City Council Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project recently won the Local Government Managers Australia Queensland (LGMAQ) Excellence Award 2020 in the Collaboration category.
