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.
In collaboration with the Western Australian Road Research Innovation Program (WARRIP) NACOE recently presented on an innovative new Sustainability Assessment Tool for Pavements (SAT4P) at the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) Connect Conference on the Sunshine Coast in October, 2022.
NACOE’s ongoing free webinar series helps to share our research learnings with the broader Queensland and Australian transport communities, and we have an important webinar coming up on Tuesday, September 19.
