The objective of this project, O25 – Use of Recycled Materials in Earthworks and Drainage, is to identify how recycled materials may be utilised as road embankment and drainage materials. This report has focused on the current Australian state road agency and selected international road agency requirements regarding the use of recycled products in road construction to identify potential quick wins that could facilitate the immediate increased use of recycled materials in Queensland. 

This Sept 2023 NACOE webinar presents findings of some “proof of concept” research NACOE has conducted on waste materials, and some potential ways forward to use these materials in Queensland road construction. 

You’ll also find the summary report for the 1^st year of this O25 NACOE project.
