Rejuvenation works
Rejuvenation works are treatments designed to extend the life of asphalt pavements rather than repair existing damage like cracks or potholes. Asphalt deteriorates due to high traffic and environmental factors, as the bitumen binding the aggregate breaks down over time.
Rejuvenation treatments penetrate the asphalt to restore the bitumen's effectiveness, improving strength and water resistance. This process is ideal for aging roads still in good condition and helps prevent costly repairs, costing around $25,000 per kilometer compared to over $1 million for rehabilitation or reconstruction of severely damaged roads.

Heavy patching works
Heavy patching involves removing the road surface and breaking up the old pavement using specialised machinery. A binder is added to strengthen the base, then watering and compacting the area. A new surface seal, either asphalt or spray seal is applied to complete the repair. Heavy patching may also involve removing the damage section of the road and filling it with a layer of asphalt that is 50mm to 100mm thick to fix the problem.

Resurfacing Roadworks
A road is resurfaced when the existing surface starts to deteriorate with age and crack. The treatment is placed directly on top of the old surface to keep it watertight and prevent more extensive road failures. A range of treatments are available, with the most common being a stone chip bitumen seal or a smoother asphalt concrete surface.
All teams are currently assisting Pothole patching crews.
