As local governments face increasing pressures to deliver durable, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable infrastructure, the role of pavement recycling and stabilisation has never been more critical. This abstract proposes a comprehensive exploration of innovative techniques in pavement recycling and stabilisation, focusing on their transformative potential for local road networks.
The presentation will delve into cutting-edge methodologies such as in-situ recycling and advanced stabilisation treatments that enhance the structural integrity and longevity of pavements while significantly reducing carbon footprints. Case studies from recent local government projects will be highlighted, demonstrating how these approaches have led to substantial cost savings, minimized disruptions to the public, and contributed to the circular economy by repurposing existing materials.
Moreover, the discussion will address the latest developments in sustainable binders, such as the use of geopolymer and other low-carbon alternatives, which further align with global sustainability goals. Attendees will gain insights into best practices, innovative technologies and practical strategies for implementing these solutions at the local level, empowering councils to make informed decisions that bolster the resilience of their road infrastructure in the face of climate change and increased traffic demands.
This abstract underscores the pivotal role that the Pavement Recycling & Stabilisation Association plays in advancing industry standards and supporting local governments in the pursuit of sustainable infrastructure solutions. The proposed presentation aims to foster a collaborative dialogue, inspiring a commitment to innovative, eco-friendly practices that will shape the future of our communities’ road networks.
