Stabilisation can provide major benefits for roading projects of all sizes, and significantly offer acceptable cost effective alternatives to the use of premium sources of aggregates. With the advent of new TNZ performance specifications (B/3 and M/22), there is the opportunity to use alternative materials in conjunction with stabilisation techniques, to meet strength and durability requirements for pavements. This workshop provides an overview of the main issues involved with the design and construction of sealed and unsealed pavements using stabilisation.
Topics include:
- Why, and when to stabilise
- Investigation and testing
- Alternative stabilising agents, lime or cement, bitumen: factors to consider
- Cement treated basecourse
- Pavement design principles including using AUSTROADS/Circly
- Planning and economic issues
- Pavement life considerations
- Subgrade, sub-base and basecourse treatment
- Construction basecourse, including compaction
- In-situ stabilisation
- Road rehabilitation, and how stabilisation can help
- Area treatment options
- Use of recycled material
- Seal coat application to stabilised surfaces.
On completion of this course participants will have the knowledge to:
- Apply the use of material stabilisation to the design and construction of pavements

Presenter Information:
Ian Anderson is a Civil Engineer with over 40 years involvement in various aspects of roading. After starting work with Ministry of Works experience was gained in both laboratory and construction areas. This was followed by time in country Councils and a consulting practice. An extended time was spent in Polytechnics teaching at all levels from construction site personnel, Technicians and most recently degree programs. In recent years Ian has taken part in development work in both Asia and South Africa.
