This is Year 4 of the NACOE project which explores alternative testing to quality assurance pavement and subgrade materials. Year 1 (2016–17) completed a comprehensive literature review of different test methods available. Year 2 (2017–18) undertook equipment comparison testing in Ballina NSW and Rocklea QLD. Year 3 (2018–19) continued carrying out field testing at a major TMR project in Cairns. This year’s primary focus was to finalise the draft testing protocol into a technical note and conduct knowledge transfer activities to present the findings to the wider audience in Queensland and Australia.
