Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is a sustainable and cost-effective material that can be incorporated into asphalt mixes for local roads. RAP has been widely researched and successfully implemented by road authorities across Australia and internationally. Its use reduces reliance on virgin aggregates and bitumen, lowering environmental impact and project costs.

Benefits of RAP
Environmental Sustainability: Reduces waste and conserves natural resources.
Cost Efficiency: Lowers material costs without compromising performance.
Proven Performance: Extensive trials and applications demonstrate durability and reliability.

Why RAP for WA Local Roads?
Local Governments in Western Australia can confidently adopt RAP in asphalt applications with proper design and specification guidance. This project aims to provide practical tools and guidelines to help road managers secure approvals and specify RAP in compliance with WA standards.

What’s Included in the Guidance?
Design considerations for RAP mixes.
Specification templates tailored for WA conditions.
Construction best practices to ensure quality and longevity.
