Australia’s remote regions, with stunning landscapes and abundant resources, present unique opportunities for industry and businesses. The challenges of remote work in Australia, however, are significant, particularly with unsealed roads that serve as critical access routes. These roads, notorious for their dust, potholes, and impassability during wet season, increase operational costs and can disrupt business activities. AggreBind products offer a simple and accessible solution for unsealed and untreated roads in remote areas, providing safe travel at substantial cost savings, improved road durability and connectivity for communities.
The Challenges of Australian Unsealed Roads
Unsealed roads are common in Australia’s remote areas, often serving as the only access routes to mining sites, farms, and isolated communities. These roads generate dust plumes during dry periods, causing visibility hazards, health issues for drivers and problems for surrounding land owners. During wet season the roads become muddy, dangerous and impassable traps, significantly disrupting access and increasing vehicle wear and tear. The outcome of these conditions is increased operational costs for businesses with increased maintenance costs, vehicle repairs and prolonged travel and project times.
AggreBind is the Solution for Unsealed Roads in Remote Areas
AggreBind’s proprietary long-string, cross-linking copolymer soil stabiliser, provides the solution to the problems associated with unsealed and untreated roads. By binding soil particles together, AggreBind creates a strong, durable, and impermeable road, which not only enhances the structural integrity of the roads but also brings multiple benefits that translate into significant cost savings for road construction and operational efficiencies for the businesses and communities that use them.
Cost-Effective Road Stabilisation : One of the standout features of AggreBind is its cost effectiveness. The upfront costs of implementing AggreBind-stabilised roads are significantly lower than conventional road construction. With an experienced crew, up to 2 kilometres or more of AggreBind road can be completed in less than a week, minimising disruption to operations and creating operational efficiency. This rapid deployment allows more roads to be sealed, in shorter time, for less.- Reducing Road Maintenance Costs with AggreBind : AggreBind roads require very little maintenance. The water-resistant/hydrophobic properties of the patented copolymer technology create an impermeable road, preventing water from penetrating; the cause of pothole formation and surface degradation in unsealed (and conventional) roads. AggreBind roads drastically reduce the road maintenance needs, leading to reduced costs long-term.
- Increased Road Lifespan: Improving road durability in Australia with AggreBind ensures a significantly longer lifespan compared to conventional unsealed roads, able to withstand heavy traffic, harsh weather conditions, and seasonal changes without deteriorating. An extended lifespan results in fewer resources needed for road reconstruction, further reducing operational costs and enhancing reliability and access.
- Enhancing Operational Efficiency with Stabilised Roads : AggreBind’s strong, stable roads enable safer travel, reduced travelling times and minimises vehicle and tyre wear, lower fuel consumption and less vehicle maintenance which are critical to reducing overall operational expenses, providing durable road solutions for mining sites, industry and communities.
- Environmentally Friendly, Sustainable Road Construction : AggreBind’s technology is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-leaching and lowers emissions, aligning with Australia’s Sustainable Development Goals. By stabilising the in-situ soils, eliminating the need for introduced aggregate and cartage, preventing erosion, and significantly decreasing construction time, AggreBind transforms unsealed and untreated roads into impermeable surfaces, helping to both protect the natural landscape, and prevent the environmental impact of conventional construction activities.
- AggreBind roads make for safer travel.
For businesses operating in remote areas of Australia, the challenges posed by unsealed roads can be significant but not insurmountable. AggreBind improves road lifespan and reliability and enables organisations to achieve substantial cost savings, improved operational efficiency, and enables sustainable development.
AggreBind is not just a solution for better roads; it is a strategic investment in the future of remote operations. With its ability to transform unsealed roads and untreated roads into durable, low-maintenance infrastructure, AggreBind paves the way for more reliable and efficient infrastructure, ensuring that businesses and communities can thrive, together.
