How to manage dusty roads
Neil Bennett
Low Volume Road Specialist helping Contractors and Councils make a difference
Increasingly residents are going to the media to advance their case for their local council to do 'something' about the dust on their local road.
The cost of sealing all the problem roads is too much for most Councils to consider so other options need to be considered.
The 2017 REAAA Low Volume Roads Workshop to be held in Tauranga, NZ in September this year is having a technical workshop session with Key Note Speaker Dr David Jones facilitating the workshop.
David is Associate Director, University of California Pavement Research Centre University of California – Davis, Chair of Transportation Research Board Committee on Low Volume Roads (AFB30)
One part of David’s research in low volume roads has involved the use of chemical treatments for fines preservation as part of unpaved road management programs as a means of improving all-weather passability and extending the periods between routine maintenance interventions and between regravelling exercises. David will share his considerable knowledge on this topic and many others at our workshop.
Registration is now open for the workshop and full details can be found at https://www.roads.co.nz/lvrTaur2017.html
