The T30 laboratory test method is used to detect the presence of adhesion agent chemicals in cutback bitumen used as a binder for chip sealing.

The M02 Specification for bitumen emulsion (version 1) has been developed and published in support of the move to the use of bitumen emulsions for chip sealing.

The M01 bitumen specification and notes set out the requirements for bitumen used for pavements in New Zealand.

This specification (2013) and guidance notes outline the process for identifying sites where treatment to improve skid resistance may be justified and the process to be followed.

This paper is for skid resistance practitioners to assist them with background to the T10 policy on curves.

The NZ Transport Agency has released a pilot version of the P25 Specification for calcined bauxite for trial and comment.

Test method to determine the bitumen content of asphalt mixes for the purposes of assessing compliance with specified requirements.

This test procedure covers the determination of the average texture depth of a paved surface using sand to give the volume of voids.

Test method to assess the long-term field durability (resistance to oxidative hardening) of NZTA M1 penetration grade bitumens.

This specification and guidance notes set out requirements for improving the macrotexture (texture) of a pavement surface using high-pressure water or grooving treatments.
