Stabilisation works at Sublime Point

Services / Integrated delivery

Pavement design and construction

Everything required to build a road from start to finish.

What it is

Subgrade preparation, base construction, stabilisation, trimming and surfacing, delivered by one team with owned plant, under Transport for NSW R2 road construction prequalification.

How we work with you

Full-service and part-service

Flexible ways to engage Accurate, depending on your project requirements.

Full-service

Everything required to build the pavement from start to finish, self-delivered and handed over complete.

  • Pre-milling, spreading, mixing
  • Compaction, trimming and rolling
  • Seal coat or asphalt
  • One contract, one site supervisor

Part-service

Plant and crew for the stabilisation step itself, working to your programme with your own resources alongside.

  • Stabiliser, spreader truck and water cart
  • Operators who know the plant
  • Your compaction, trimming and surfacing
  • The specialist step, on your dates

Cost efficiency

Same ground. Lower costs.

In-situ stabilisation reuses the material already in the ground, so there is no new material to import and no spoil to cart away. Less transport, less handling and a single mobilisation of plant make it a faster, more cost-effective way to rebuild a road.

Traditional approach

More transport. Higher costs. Longer program.

  • Import material

    New gravel carted in from the quarry, load by load.

  • Export waste

    The old pavement dug out and trucked away as spoil.

  • More plant and labour

    Extra trucks, excavators and crew on site for longer.

  • Increased costs

    Haulage, tipping and program time all add to the price.

In-situ stabilisation

Less movement. A smarter solution.

  • Reuse existing material

    Stabilise on site, with nothing imported and nothing carted away.

  • Lower transport costs

    Fewer truck movements, less haulage and less disruption to traffic.

  • Faster delivery

    One pass of the recycler, compacted and back under traffic sooner.

Construction

Subgrade to surfacing

  • Subgrade

    What it involves
    Excavation and spoil disposal where needed. Trim to level and crossfall. Lime stabilisation where the subgrade is wet or reactive, which is the step that determines whether everything above it lasts.
  • Base

    What it involves
    Supply, placement, grading, watering and compaction of the full range of road-base and gravel materials. Or, where there's existing pavement to recycle, in-situ stabilisation of the existing base, which is usually the better option.
  • Final trim

    What it involves
    Grader to design level and crossfall. The step that determines ride quality, checked with a straightedge before surfacing.
  • Surfacing

    What it involves
    Prime and two-coat spray seal via Accurate's sealing partner, or asphalt wearing course laid by Accurate's own crew. One contract either way.

FAQs

Common questions.

Get in touch
01Does Accurate do the pavement design?

Accurate is a contractor, not a consultancy. Where a client has a pavement design from their engineer, we build to it. Where a job is small enough that a full design isn't warranted (a car park, a subdivision road, a rural access), we'll recommend a pavement structure sized to the traffic, the subgrade and the client's standard, and put it in writing. For anything larger, we work alongside the client's designer and bring the practical input: what the material on site will actually do, which binder suits it, and what depth will get to the required strength.

02When is full reconstruction the right answer?

Full reconstruction (dig out the old pavement, cart it away, bring in new base, build it up) is the right answer when the existing pavement is too thin or too contaminated to recycle. It's the expensive answer, and often it's specified when it doesn't need to be. Accurate will tell you which one your pavement needs. In most cases where there's 150mm or more of granular material in the ground, in-situ stabilisation gets to the same or better strength for around half the cost and a fraction of the truck movements, and we'll say so.
