Seaports & Container Terminals The asphalt business has been deeply involved in the development of innovative deformation resistant mixes for ports and container terminal pavements over many years. Drawing on the latest in materials science and the research carried out at Boral’s own high-tech laboratories, we have engineered products for use specifically in straddle carrier and container forklift environments. As a result of this research, Boral has innovations such as Portmix asphalt. Portmix has been designed to resist the types of loadings experienced at ports that handle containers....

Surface & Pavement Rehabilitation Contract Work The regular annual work at Boral is comprised partly of road surface rehabilitation contracts. These contracts are issued by state road authorities and municipalities and may involve removal and replacement of asphalt surfacing, application of asphalt overlays or spray seal and sometimes deep asphalt patching. The same contracting and production diligence is applied to all our work and perennial contracts attract close attention to scheduling, customer needs, safety and sustainable practices. We will often propose alternatives or assist our...

In contracts of this nature a full range of services from fence line to fence line on road reserves was delivered. These services include: • Kerb and channel repair and maintenance • Rework on bluestone, brick pavers, concrete or...
