Australian road and construction projects - from local streets to highly complex infrastructure including freeways, highways and airport runways - use Boral Asphalt’s high-quality surfacing solutions.
You’ll find Boral asphalt right from the deck of the Sydney Harbour Bridge through to Perth’s Tonkin Highway – and just about everywhere in between. That includes the runways and taxiways at the new Western Sydney International Airport.
Our Asphalt business spans three areas: asphalt manufacturing sites, contracting and maintenance services and spray seal services. We have significant supply capacity across key market segments, supplying 2 million tonnes per annum of asphalt.
Experienced operators manage our manufacturing sites, overseeing a largely automated production process that can deliver asphalt mixes tailored to the requirements of each individual customer or project. Additionally, our team adheres to a high standard of planning and environmental obligations for each site.
We provide a contracting service that includes complete road surface preparation, installation and ongoing maintenance. Additionally, spray seal allows us to resurface roads by spraying a bitumen layer then sealing it.
Boral participates in the construction circular economy in various ways, including through recycling, and we’re proud to have the ability to turn old road surfaces into Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP). We are increasingly incorporating RAP in new asphalt production to lower environmental impacts and costs; some of our plants are able to include up to 30% of RAP. We are working to increase this ratio, and are also continuing to deliver low carbon offerings such as WarmPave Asphalt and INNOVO™.
We have been engaged on the largest crumbed rubber asphalt demonstration project in Australia, providing 2000 tonnes of the sustainable pavement material in addition to 1200 tonnes of controlled asphalt mix to be paved across eight local Sydney council streets. Comprising recycled rubber from end-of-life car and truck tyres, crumbed rubber asphalt aims to improve the sustainability and longevity of council roads.
Specialty asphalt solutions
Our range of asphalts includes a number of specialist solutions, such as Aeropave®, which provides a durable, high-performance surface for runways and taxiways, and Railpave® which can be used as a substitute for ballast beneath railway sleepers. LoNoise™ is a thin asphalt wearing course designed to reduce noise pollution on heavily trafficked roads in urban and suburban areas. Our industry-leading INNOVO™ asphalt system incorporates recycled materials.
Skilled operators and automated production processes at our manufacturing sites mean that we can deliver mixes tailored to the requirements of individual customers. We provide a contracting service that includes complete road surface preparation, installation and ongoing maintenance. Additionally, our spray seal allows us to resurface roads by spraying a bitumen layer then sealing it.
