Resilience in Regional and Remote Roads

Resilience in infrastructure refers to the ability of that infrastructure such as roads to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, shocks, or disturbances.

Resilient roads are designed and constructed to endure adverse conditions such as natural disasters including repeated flood events related to climate change, while still performing with heavy traffic loads.

Polypave is formally NTRO (ARRB) certificated as creating resilient roads – due to the ability to significantly restrict water ingress into pavements. Note: Polypave is 750 times more impermeable that both manufactured gravel roads and cement only treated pavements. *

It has been formally determined that both manufactured gravel roads and cement only treated pavements are not resilient * as their Co-efficient of Permeability are the same.
