Primer Seal Trial: Lower Trafficked Rural Pavements in Yarriambiack Shire
Council
March 2015
For this project, we trialled a variety of primer seal pavement treatments on a low trafficked rural road. The purpose was to help customers find a cost effective treatment for future primer seals and to evaluate the life span of different primer seal treatments. The treatment types were 5pts BSRS, C320, HBCE and Polyseal and the material involved 7mm, 10mm and 7mm/14mm, with standard 5ptsBSRS Primerseal 14mm/7mm 5km down the road to compare. We are currently awaiting evaluation feedback from the client.

CentreState Completes 2016 VicRoads Northern Region Supply and Placement of Asphalt Contract
Government
January 2016
Centre State Asphalting (CSA) undertook large-scale modifications to its asphalt plant in the second half of 2015 to enable the manufacture of a full range of VicRoads mixes, and recycle waste products. This enabled CSA to target and successfully secure the VicRoads Northern Region annual maintenance contract for the first time in early 2016. We began on 6 January, with due date of completion achieved on 14 May 2016. The challenge with undertaking this contract, which involved 25,140 tonnes of asphalt with 20SI, 10SMAH, 14HP, 14H, 10H, 10OG and 20SP mixes, was the detailed planning and compliance with exacting VicRoads contractual requirements over a broad location of pavements from Swan Hill to the Calder Highway near Gisborne. It also required 21,870m2 of spray sealing (10mm Geo Seal and 10mm SAMI). Every pavement location was unique in terms of stakeholder management, risk profile, and construction requirements. In particular, a large segment of the works was scheduled to be undertaken at night within Bendigo itself, requiring careful traffic management and residential/business liaison. In addition, CSA manufactured and placed stone mastic asphalt for the first time, and although challenging at first, many valuable lessons and improved construction techniques were quickly acquired throughout the contract and delivered successfully.

Asphalt delivery from the production facility is supported by a range of truck configurations to provide maximum flexibility to delivery to all types of jobs, from driveways to major freeway upgrades, and distances as far as the New South Wales and South Australian borders under all temperature ranges.
CentreState Asphalting Material Testing
Centre State Asphalting pride themselves on providing a range of quality Vicroads approved and speciality asphalt mixes to suit all pavement requirements.
The laboratory, based at the asphalt production facility, is NATA registered and operates to a strict set of externally audited quality standards. The laboratory’s focus is driven by our customers’ requirements for accurate testing and reporting of asphalt mix constituents, and providing the right asphalt type to match each individual customer’s operating pavement environment.
To achieve consistent asphalt mixes, the production facilities employees’ focus on managing the quality of material inputs, and carefully monitor and manage each stage of the production process. Each truck load of asphalt mix is visually inspected to ensure uniformity, and representative random samples tested for consistency.
The quality focus of CentreState extends throughout the company. The contracting services quality system is audited as part of the Vicroads accreditation system whenever work is undertaken on the State road network. The number one priority when undertaking any work is the safety of employees, subcontractors, clients and most importantly the general public.

Western Quarries Enables Installation of 75 Wind Turbines in Ararat Area
Engineering company
June 2016
Downer EDI Engineering Power required our expertise to deliver various products so that it could effectively complete the installation of 75 wind turbines in the Ararat area. We began in June 2016 by delivering 40mm base course to Tower 55, on the Warrak side of the project. By February 14, 2017, we had finished delivering 20mm Class 3 Crushed Rock Wetmix to CG2 for electrical trench fill ins. Overall, the project included 40mm basecourse used in the construction of nearly 50 kilometres of internal road networks; 40mm base course used to create equipment hardstands and wind tower foundations, gabion and selective broken rock for draining purposes; various aggregates and crushed rocks for use in the construction of the electrical substation and various products used to form work compound bases and trench fill-ins. Depending upon Downer’s requirements, mixes were coordinated on a day-to-day basis, adding further challenges. Most importantly, the client was very happy with the successful completion of the project.
