The recent development of geotextile-reinforced bituminous seals on clay pavements for use on remote rural roads to improve amenity and environmental conditions is described. The use of these seals allows substantial economies in the provision of all-weather roads in remote areas and improves access and road safety and reduces materials usage. The design and construction of these types of pavements and a trial using the accelerated loading facility to validate their structural adequacy are described.
