Why the sustainable way?
![Page 4: Australian Study Tour of South Africa: Durban: the warmest place to be Sustainability in eThekwini 9 September 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0211a28abf838cd2b14/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We believe sustainable practices….
Besides meeting the latest buzzwords,
Gives us longer lasting productsIs cheaperAllows quicker constructionBetter quality product?In cases is the only technical option
![Page 5: Australian Study Tour of South Africa: Durban: the warmest place to be Sustainability in eThekwini 9 September 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0211a28abf838cd2b14/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Are carbon calculators used only to convince cynics and naysayers?
Hearts and
Minds
Weed out bad practice
Implement best practice
Measure and
manageInnovate

But is this sustainability ?
But, is this sustainable practice or just plain common sense packaged to suit the prevailing challenges
Judge for yourself

So we are moving towards

Project level: Network Planning Phase
Simple on just one roadBut over a 6000km networkWithin 550 km2 areaOn 300 projects per annum concurrently
This is the opportunity!!!!!!!!!!

The client owns the road,The client owns network,
The clients owns the material,The client drives policy

Project level: Investigation & design phase
Pavement engineer must characterise and calculate volume of material in pavement
Sampling for failure investigation and material reuse / recycling must be separate processes.
Cost benefit analysis must include:Future type and number of recycling iterationsNoise / dust generated from opsConstruction under live trafficConstruction periodClosure of resident and business accessReuse in place as first optionAvailable stockpiled materialsQuantity of virgin materials imported
Pavement engineer must prove constructability and draw up traffic management plan
![Page 18: Australian Study Tour of South Africa: Durban: the warmest place to be Sustainability in eThekwini 9 September 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0211a28abf838cd2b14/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Project level: Deconstruction PhaseSelective excavation & selective stockpiling is a designed process & is specified by the pavement engineer
Pavement engineer must specify the construction tools to be used for deconstruction
Pavement engineer is responsible for Material register and Materials management plan
Traffic management plan – disruptions due to construction works eg C4 vs BSM
![Page 19: Australian Study Tour of South Africa: Durban: the warmest place to be Sustainability in eThekwini 9 September 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0211a28abf838cd2b14/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Project Level: Construction Phase
Resident engineer must have:
A Quality Assurance Plan in place. Training and understanding of construction tools / plant being used. Training and understanding proprietary solutions being used.High degree of competence in materials and failure mechanism understanding.

Lower energy pavements
Cold-in-place recycling is now routine optionCold-in-plant recycling Warm Mix AsphaltCrushed building “rubble”Crushed reclaimed road concrete

Lower energy pavements:

Lower energy pavement:Warm Mix Asphalt
“asphalt that is manufactured and paved at between 20oC and 30oC lower than conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA), with all its properties and performance being equal to or better than HMA “

Reclaimed masonry material
Problem area for waste sitesPercolation and degradation processes
Lost latent energy, residual…Less virgin materialIncrease landfill lifespan
![Page 26: Australian Study Tour of South Africa: Durban: the warmest place to be Sustainability in eThekwini 9 September 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0211a28abf838cd2b14/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Current status
Hearts and mindsStockpiling all masonry material recoveredTrials to determine optimum gradingTrials to determine material behaviour in pavementIn partnership with UKZN, Italian & US colleagues

Question
Should we burden reclaimed masonry materials with meeting the properties of traditional granular / crushed stone characterisation system or
Should we formulate a new system that allows its own properties to characterise it?
Current debate for WMA?

Longer life pavement: HiMA
Fixed alignmentFixed levelsConstruction under trafficCover up what you dig upTraffic what you uncoverEconomic life blood of country
![Page 29: Australian Study Tour of South Africa: Durban: the warmest place to be Sustainability in eThekwini 9 September 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697c0211a28abf838cd2b14/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Possible uses for HiMA
• Heavy and slow moving traffic• Restricted layer thickness with significant
stiffness requirement• Perpetual / longer life pavement – this is our
objective on all roads
