Chipsealing in New Zealand

Published: 2005 | Category: Manuals , Pavement design | Audiences: Road traffic engineers & consultants, Roading contractors

Chipsealing in New Zealand is a distillation of information from at least 80 years experience in New Zealand, compiled by chipsealing experts from throughout New Zealand. Many years of experience based on research and backed up by references have contributed to this book. In New Zealand extremes of climate and landscape impose many constraints on road surface performance and present challenges to be overcome. Chipsealing techniques differ from the north to the south of New Zealand and there is therefore no 'correct' or only way for a chipsealing operation to be carried out. Experience and research are presented in this book so the reader can make their own informed decisions when using chipsealing technology. This book is intended for those studying road engineering at polytechnic or university level and for those already in the chipsealing industry who want to broaden their knowledge, or those from another line of engineering to...

Edge marker posts

Published: 30 June 2011 | Category: Specifications , Delineation , Materials | Audiences: Road traffic engineers & consultants, Roading contractors

This specification and guidance notes set out requirements for edge marker posts (EMPs) as used in the delineation of state highways in accordance with the Manual of traffic signs and markings (MOTSAM) Part II: Markings, Part 2, Section 5.05, Edge Marker Posts (A1) and as envisaged by figures 5-10 and 5-11 in that manual. EMPs used on the state highway must be on the current list of type approved markers. Markers that have current approval in terms of M/14 for use on state highways are listed in M/14 Notes table 1.

This specification, HM14 Edgebreak, replaces specification TNZ C7 Repair of edge break. However, if TNZ C7 is referred to in existing contract documents then you may continue to use it. Alternatively you could use MR09 Pre-surfacing repairs if you plan to include all of the following specifications in a single surfacing contract: C4, C5, C6, C7 and C8.

Rubber latex in reseal binders

Published: 1985 | Category: Specifications , Chipsealing , Materials , Construction | Audiences: Road traffic engineers & consultants, Roading contractors

This specification and guidance notes are to be appended to P/4 Resealing and shall apply where natural rubber latex is to be added to the bituminous binder for resealing purposes. The requirements of this specification extend and modify P/4 and shall take precedence over the requirements of P/4 where there is conflict.

Specification for the manufacture and construction of plant mixed bound sub-base pavement layers

Published: July 2012 | Category: Specifications , Pavement & surfacing , Construction | Audiences: Road traffic engineers & consultants, Roading contractors

Stabilisation of pavement layers has a long history in New Zealand. Stabilisation is becoming more common as increasing traffic volumes and higher axle load limits are driving the need for pavements that are more robust than traditional unbound pavements. Equally in areas where top quality aggregates are hard to justify/find – these processes can provide economically viable alternatives.

Unsealed pavements: digout repairs

Published: 1992 | Category: Specifications , Maintenance , General , Lighting , Litter , Potholes , Edgebreak , Operations , Pre-surfacing repairs , Service covers , Shoulder , Barriers , Construction , Depressions , Digouts , Drainage , Edge marker posts , Signals , Signs , Structures , Surfacings , Unsealed pavements , Vegetation , Winter maintenance | Audiences: Road traffic engineers & consultants, Roading contractors

This specification sets out the requirements for repairs to the pavement structure in unsealed roads, where a digout is required. This specification will be withdrawn in 2011 as it has been replaced by HM23 Unsealed pavements. However, if TNZ C13 is referred to in existing contract documents then you may continue to use it.

HNO environmental and social responsibility manual

Published: August 2012 | Category: Manuals , Environment & resource planning | Audiences: General, Local & regional government, Road traffic engineers & consultants, Roading contractors

In order to ensure value for money and consistent impact mitigation across the national network, the Environment and Urban Design Team works closely with project managers to collect best practices, identify relevant international trends, develop New Zealand specific standards and guidelines, disseminate information and continuously improved service delivery. The HNO environmental and social responsibility manual is a collection of standards, guidelines, tools and references applicable to all capital works and maintenance operations.

High performance roadmarking

Published: 2009 | Category: Specifications , Roadmarking , Application , Materials | Audiences: Road traffic engineers & consultants, Roading contractors

This specification and accompanying guidance notes set out the requirements for high performance roadmarkings for road safety. This specification applies to specialised pavement markings installed on roads with a traffic volume of > 5,000 v/day and where a traffic safety strategy has identified the need for improved delineation.
