WARRIP is currently investigating asphalt in 2 projects: one to review moisture impacts on asphalt pavement performance and one to review best practice non-destructive quality assurance testing for asphalt.

🔹 The first project aims to mitigate moisture ingress risks during the construction of pavement to avoid premature deterioration by minimising the effects of moisture caused by pavement design, asphalt mix design and construction standards.

🔹 The second project investigates a method of nuclear density for testing asphalt density as a reliable, non-destructive and rapid test that delivers results comparable to pavement coring.
