Pavement Engineering
Geleon provides specialised pavement engineering, investigation, design and verification services in accordance with AUSTROADS, state and local government design procedures.
​
Our service areas encompass urban and rural road environments including highways, intersections, arterial roads, local government roads and car parking facilities.
Investigation
-
Geotechnical assessment and soil testing
-
Non-destructive pavement testing
-
Subgrade evaluation and pavement profiling
-
Pavement falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing
​
Pavement Design and Verification
-
Empirical and mechanistic design of pavements using CIRCLY software
-
Pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing treatments to increase the life of the existing pavement
-
Flexible pavements consisting of unbound granular material and bound layers for light and medium duty applications
-
Flexible composite, deep strength and full depth asphalt pavements for heavy duty applications using dense graded asphalt, open graded asphalt, stone mastic asphalt and high modulus asphalt (EME2)
-
Lightly bound and rigid pavements (concrete pavements)
-
Hot in-place asphalt recycling (HIPAR) treatments
-
Subgrade treatments and improved layers for soft or expansive subgrades including lime stabilisation, geotextile wrapped granular material, Category 1 or 2 heavily bound (cemented material) and lean-mix concrete treatments
