The NZ Transport Agency has released a pilot version of the P25 Specification for calcined bauxite for trial and comment.
This is a performance-based specification for calcined bauxite applied with non-bituminous binder on an appropriate substrate. The expectation is that the surfacing (including the substrate) will have a life of 6 to 8 years with zero or minimal maintenance.
This specification applies where the substrate is provided by the principal or the contractor.
