Budget Stabilisation Machinery Home Executive Summary There is an urgent global need to improve the resilience and sustainability of road networks. Pavement recycling and stabilisation with low-carbon binders is inherently a highly sustainable road construction method. However, some of the plant (machinery) required is specialised and typically capital intensive. This can be a barrier to …
AustStab Conference 2023: Sustainable Pavements for Future Generations Home Introduction AustStab is the Australian Pavement Recycling and Stabilisation Association. It is a not-for-profit industry association to help provide a unified approach to the recycling and stabilisation of road pavements and to develop national standards of research and performance. AustStab held the 2nd Australian Pavement Recycling …

“Nano-engineered” concrete can outperform conventional concrete and high strength/high performance concrete. However, not all nano silica particles are made the same way or have the same effect in concrete. Renolith contains nano silica that has been proven to be effective in combination with portland cement. Renolith admixture provides a simple, effective and well-proven mechanism for creating nano-engineered concrete.
Renolith 2.0 is a nanopolymer admixture that can be used to construct durable, recyclable roads from recycled materials. The admixture is compatible with extant standards and specifications, and can be used with any soil type. Renolith 2.0 has been used successfully in a number of projects, including the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and the Brenner Autobahn Reconstruction. The admixture has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road construction, and can help to create a more sustainable road network.
The addition of RCA to these soils can improve the soil grading and reduce the binder demand, resulting in a cost-effective, crack-free, durable, low-carbon road constructed from 100% materials. The use of a low-carbon binder instead of cement can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions footprint even further.
There is potential to significantly reduce road construction industry GHG emissions by pivoting to in-situ stabilisation / cold-recycling using low-carbon binders and Renolith 2.0 nanopolymer admixture as the primary pavement construction method. This potential arises from attractive economics, a low carbon footprint at construction plus high pavement design life and durability.
Renolith 2.0 offers a ‘shovel ready’ and cost-effective approach to rebuilding Australia’s flood damaged road network with more durable, moisture resistant, crack resistant designs. The pothole problem could be solved – permanently.
Renolith 2.0 enables high performing cementitious composites to be formed from nearly any in-situ or recycled material, including clays, silts, peats, contaminated and salty soils.
