Category: National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) , Corporate publications | Audience: Local & regional government

Links to other regions are crucial to the economy of the West Coast region. Closures of these routes can cause major delays for locals, tourists and freight traffic, which can have significant negative effects on the region’s economy. The

Research Report 411 Compaction of thick granular layers

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

There have been a number of highprofile early failures in New Zealand pavements (rut depths greater than 20mm observed early in the pavement life) associated with ‘greenfield’ pavements (pavements not subjected to traffic during construction). It is

Research Report 168 Health monitoring of superstructures of New Zealand road bridges: Waipara Bridge, Canterbury

Published:
Category: Activity management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

Bridge health monitoring is a method of evaluating the ability of a bridge to perform its required task (also called fitness for purpose) by monitoring the response of the bridge to the traffic loads it has to withstand. This research project
