Exciting developments are on the horizon for New Zealand’s roading infrastructure as Eric Ferrebee, Senior Director of Technical Services at the American Concrete Pavement Association, and member of the Board of Directors at ISCP, took center stage on Newstalk ZB’s “Mike Hosking Breakfast”. Ferrebee made a compelling case for the adoption of concrete road pavements, emphasizing their unparalleled durability and whole-of-life cost advantages. This shift towards concrete could be a game-changer, addressing the pervasive issue of potholes that not only irritate commuters but also pose potential safety hazards on roads nationwide.
For those who missed Eric’s illuminating discussion, the audio recording is available for a closer look at the benefits and possibilities presented by concrete road pavements. Concrete NZ proudly facilitated Eric’s visit to New Zealand, where he presented at the ongoing Future Roads conference in Claudelands, Hamilton.
