SteelGuard XL application in Christchurch suburban streets has overachieved expected pavement maintenance outcomes. This case study profiles pavement preparation, benefits of SteelGuard XL properties and how the product was applied with a pavement saver machine to achieve uniformity.

The use of SteelGuard XL rescued what was proving to be a tenuous problem with a structurally sound but blemished pavement.  This case study profiles how SteelGuard XL was applied to remedy a stained and partially gouged pavement in a prominent area of the village. It outlines how this was accomplished firstly by completing a pressure wash, then applying two coats of SteelGuard XL to achieve a standout finish befitting the adjacent waterfront Clark villas.

SteelGuard XL provided an upgraded pavement surface that matches with interconnecting infrastructure improvements. This case study profiles the resurfacing of a section of Truman Lane to match with infrastructure improvements aligned to the SH 2/SH 29A Te Maunga interchange.

In this case study, SteelGuard XL application mitigates significant texture issues with a failing chipseal surface. This case study illustrates how SteelGuard XL bound a failing surface together achieving a cape seal surface treatment.

Rowena Crescent in the Taupo District had a previous chipseal surfacing solution that was not performing and generally had a lot of loose aggregate. This SteelGuard XL case study profiles SteelGuard XL’s use as both a rejuvenation treatment and seal coat.

As part of a new focus by the Matamata-Piako District Council  a methodology was adopted focused on asphalt preservation and rejuvenation. SteelGuard XL was substituted for a chipseal overlay. This case study examines how oxidised pavements over the 20-25 year mark in this subdivision have been rejuvenated.

The use of SteelGuard XL for this project ensured that an acceptable pavement treatment was undertaken to preserve the asphalt appearance in this neighbourhood, particularly in the Courtney’s gated area where many premium houses were located close to the waterfront. This case study illustrates how effective SteelGuardXL is as a rejuvenation treatment, rapidly applied over three streets covering an area of 4,100m2.

SteelGuard XL application allowed existing ferry ground infrastructure to be rejuvenated to coincide with the opening of a new hub for SeaLink ferries to Waiheke and Great Barrier Island. This was achieved without any interruption to ferry journeys. This case study profiles how SteelGuard XL was used to rejuvenate existing asphalt surfaces in stages including some older surfaces with exposed aggregates that had degraded due to construction traffic.

SteelGuard XL provided a final surface coat for the Russell Boat ramp carpark and ramp approach. This case study profiles how SteelGuard XL has provided a wearing surface for the Russell boat ramp approach and parking area, overlaying structural asphalt. SteelGuard XL’s coverage with higher film thickness due to higher aggregate/binder content helped fill in any voids in the asphalt.

SteelGuard XL provided a cost-effective resurfacing option for lower-level carparks after construction work to add an elevated level above was completed. This case study outlines how SteelGuard XL provided an effective solution for this carpark retrofit project, tying in the new and aged asphalt.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) is one of the busiest in India having over 950 flight movements each day with a single runway in operation. The runway was exhibiting signs of aging with ravelling, creating issues with FOD. SteelGuard XL was chosen as the desired solution for the runway and shoulders.

SteelGuard XL proved to be an ideal product application for American Samoa’s airport providing extended life for the aging runway approach asphalt. This case study profiles how SteelGuard XL was applied flexibly in stages, without defects, to fit in with aviation operations and changeable tropical weather patterns.
