Devereux Creek Road Mackay
Mackay Council asked contractor, Adon Dinsmore of Downer EDI to
investigate damage to Devereux Creek Road Mackay.
Pavement Samples were taken and geotec results were obtained by Bowler
Geotechnical. These are presented with capillary rise observations
and photos, showing progressive results of
a. Natural sample
b. PR21L stabilised sample
c. PR11L stabilised sample
In all cases, (10 in number) the ‘natural’ samples eroded, swelled,
water rose to the top of the sample, softened and some fully collapsed.
The PR21L stabilised samples (additive 1.5% by weight)resisted ingress,
did not erode or swell, and remained dry and solid.
The PR11L stabilised samples (additive 2% by weight) resisted water
ingress, negligible erosion, no swelling, marginally higher exterior
capillary
rise than the PR21L and remained firm and dry.
Overall, excellent results were made with a 1.5% addition of PR21L.
New Concrete Pavement System
An invitation is extended to come along to the
Polyroad site to view a concrete pour using the new Farobel JRI+ Joint
system over a Polyroad stabilised base.
