135 km from Mount Isa
Annual wet and dry seasons
Environment has a greater impact than traffic loading

Pavement design focused on mitigating the risk of saturation of the pavement and subgrade
Construction during dry season

• unbound ‘track’
• running surface directly on the natural subgrade or worn well below this
• alignment varied by creek crossings and areas of black soils
• uneconomic to build up above natural ground
• existing compacted materials adopted
• very high operating costs
Variable subgrade:
• laterite soils
• very reactive black soils
• weathered rock outcrops
Existing conditions

• flooding anticipated during the design period
• possible inundation for up to 2 to 3 days
• road closed during flood events

• design involved use of rock won within the road reserve rather than importing material
• criteria included Particle Size Distribution, Plasticity Index (PI), Hardness, Linear Shrinkage
Fit for purpose pavement materials

In situ stabilisation adopted:
• correct mechanical deficiencies (particle size distribution and/or plasticity)
• increase strength or bearing capacity while maintaining a flexible pavement
• reduce permeability and/or moisture sensitivity
• cost-effective new pavement
• use of non-standard gravels
• minimal maintenance
• ease of maintenance

Dry powder polymer selected on the basis of:
• proven track record – TIPES approved
• enabled a more open grading curve suited to the local materials
• reduced capillary rise
• increased soaked CBR
• increased wet strength
• reduced permeability
• lower water required for compaction
