Concrete Pavements for Local Government -- Local Government in Sydney was constructing concrete roads and streets years before the Department of Main Roads (now Roads and Maritime Services). Most were in the eastern, inner western and lower northern suburbs. Many of those pavements are still in use today. 

These days, Local Government may construct concrete streets, roundabouts, intersections, cul-de-sacs, cycleways, footpaths, parking areas, driveways, bus bays, box culvert bases, etc. All are pavements to carry some form of traffic. Many are constructed by fixed-form methods, some by slipforming. All require good design and quality construction

Elements of a pavement, such as joints, dowels and tiebars, will be considered. The importance of adequate compaction of concrete will be addressed, as will the techniques required for placing by fixed forms and slipform, finishing, curing and jointing the pavement, all with the aim of achieving quality in the finished product. Resource materials available to assist practitioners with design and construction
aspects of pavements will be advised.  Read more ...
