  1. P25 Specification forHigh Skid-Resistant Surfacings Joanna Towler, NZ Transport Agency Mark Owen, NZ Transport Agency Simon Fletcher, Fletcher Corporation Ltd 3rd International SurfaceFriction Conference, Safer Road Surfaces – Saving Lives, Gold Coast, Australia, 16 May 2011

  2. Perceptions of High Skid Surfacings • Durable binder and aggregate-based surfacings that provide high skid resistance • That HSRS is not value for money • $40 to $60/m2 • C.S. $2 - $8/m2; A.C. $11 to $32/m2 • There are quality issues • HSRS delaminates in a short period of time • Substrate fails early • Lack of skilled workforce

  3. Whole of Life Costs In locations where: • Natural aggregate polishes within 2 years • Geometric improvements expensive or impractical • High wet-road crash rate The whole of life costs may show that a HSRS is value for money

  4. Case Study: SH2 Petone Overbridge

  5. SH2 Petone Overbridge • 15 – 20 Crashes/year • Speed environment • In 1997 calcined bauxite at $50/m2 • Post installation: 0.5 Crashes/year

  6. 21 year history of injury accidents at SH2 Petone Overbridge Resurfacing – Open Graded Porous Asphalt (OGPA)

  7. Calcined Bauxite laid 1997 • Cost of resurfacing = $40,000 • Annual crash savings = $1.9 million • First year rate of return = 48 (B/C ≈ 400) • At the time, the cost of applying calcined bauxite amounted to just two weeks’ crash savings.

  8. P25 Specification • P25 Specification for High Skid-Resistant Surfaces (HSRS)

  9. P25 Summary of Performance Criteria • The HSRS is required to achieve, for the defects liability period: • the specified level of skid resistance (microtexture and macrotexture) • the specified levels of material retention and adhesion to the substrate The substrate shall be strong enough to resist failure planes through the substrate

  10. P25 Performance Criteria

  11. P25 Performance Criteria

  12. P25 Performance Criteria • Visual Appearance • binder and aggregate retention/loss • cracking • joint cracking

  13. Binder overspill/underspill

  14. Edges, Ridges and joins

  15. P25 Performance Criteria

  16. Specification Notes • Apply to a completely bone-dry substrate • Within the atmospheric moisture dew point tolerance • On ‘as clean as possible’ substrate • Apply resin binder to correct minimum thickness • Avoiding laying on multi-layered chip seal (which has poor structural integrity). • Strictly following all elements within the manufacturer’s Method Statement

  17. P25 – Next Steps • Currently out for industry sign-off • Issue on NZTA website in next 6 weeks • Next year we will do P33 Coloured Surfacing • E-mail joanna.towler@nzta.govt.nz if you wish to review the current draft • Or visit us at the NZTA stand
