The Australian Society for Concrete Pavements (ASCP) plans to hold its FIRST 2019 BRISBANE FORUM on April 10, 2019, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, at the QUT Owen J Wordsworth (OJW) Room–College of Engineering, Level 12 S Block, at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Gardens Point Campus, Brisbane City, Brisbane, Queensland Australia.
ABOUT THE FORUM: Modern concrete road pavement produces a high quality, heavy duty asset at low initial cost, with low maintenance requirements, and with high performance properties. There are many major concrete roads in NSW which have demonstrated high performance over their design lives, but which are now reaching the peak of their design lives.
This forum will present concrete road pavement value information and discuss pavement performance properties including ride, skid resistance, and low-noise options. Asset preservation interventions are required as assets age. Where pavement repairs are required, the advances in rapid repair technologies enable such repairs to be carried out on concrete pavements with minimum interruptions or delays to users. If required, modern diamond-grinding techniques can restore surface properties including skid resistance and surface ride quality, and can provide low road/tire noise qualities to a new or aging surface.
As a pavement continues to age towards its design life, consideration may be given to its eventual replacement, especially where traffic loadings and frequencies have exceeded the original design considerations. Rather than dispose of the remaining value in the existing asset, concrete overlay options can provide very cost-efficient means to significantly extend the life of the asset and to increase its load carrying capacity if required. These options can be completed in much shorter construction times than full replacement, thus minimising road user delays.
Presenters will be:
Todd Myers, Director-TSM Civil Project Management and President-ASCP; and Justin Moss, Associate Technical Director & Team Leader (Pavements)-Arcadis and Member of the National Executive-ASCP
The QUT, Gardens Point campus is situated in Brisbane’s city center, alongside Parliament House, the City Botanic Gardens and the Brisbane River. The Goodwill Bridge gives you easy access on foot or bicycle to the cultural hub of South Bank.
