Activity: Roads & Highways

Location: Webb Drive – Ruakura SuperHub, Hamilton, New Zealand

Project duration: 6 months

Project Year: September 2024 to March 2025

Details of Works: Design and construction of a heavy-duty pavement using HiLAB technology, replacing the initially planned 200 mm full-depth asphalt. Dr Greg Arnold from Colas New Zealand did the pavement design and signed off the QA for the client (Chedworth Properties). The HiLAB base was subcontracted to Online. Colas New Zealand then did the asphalt surfacing on top of the HiLAB over 4 days and with 15 employees. The solution reduced asphalt thickness by two-thirds, cut project costs by NZD 1 million, and significantly lowered the carbon footprint.

Employees involved: 15 employees

Client: Hamilton city Council
