A PAVEMENT treatment process being used on the Golf Links Road Upgrade project is expected to save around 4000 cubic metres of pavement material.
Crews are currently using a process called “foamed bitumen stablisation” on pavement for the road. The operation involves pulverising the existing pavement and mixing it with water, air and bitumen. The process is supposed to expand the material up to 10 times its original volume.
The 4000 cubic metres of pavement material expected to be saved from landfill by using the process will be reused for the project down the line.
Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said that the state government is “working closely with Major Road Projects Victoria and construction partner, MACA, to employ more sustainable construction practices on the upgrades.”
The Golf Links Road Upgrade is projected to be completed by 2023.
