The City of Salisbury is responsible for the maintenance of over 1,000 kilometres of roads in South Australia. The council is committed to providing its residents with safe and well-maintained roads. However, the council was facing a challenge. The roads were deteriorating at an increasing rate with cracking, stripping and potholes.

Additionally, the Council were trying to address the extreme heat it experienced and its impact to its residents. They had reports detailing that the Urban Heat Island effect was having a measurable impact on its Council area and that the dark colour of asphalt roads absorb heat, contributing to the urban heat island effect.

The council considered a number of options for repairing the roads, but they were all too expensive to fit in with the budget and didn’t address the heat concerns. The council was looking for a solution that would be effective, affordable, and quick to implement, and that would also help to reduce the urban heat island effect.

The council was introduced to CoolSeal by SuperSealing, an Australian road surfacing company. CoolRoads products are high-performance, cold-applied asphalt emulsion that is designed to extend the life of roads, reduce surface temperatures, and minimize the urban heat island effect. SuperSealing had successfully used CoolRoads products on a number of projects, and the council was impressed with the results.

The council decided to use CoolRoads – Albedo to resurface 124 streets in Salisbury. The project was completed on time and within budget, and the results were impressive. The roads were now smooth, crack-free, and much safer for residents to drive on. Additionally, the roads were cooler in the summer.

The council conducted a number of tests on the roads after they were resurfaced with CoolRoads – Albedo. The tests showed that the roads were much more durable than they were before. The roads were also able to withstand more wear and tear, which meant that they would not need to be resurfaced as often. The Council likened the performance of CoolRoads to microsurfacing works.

The City of Salisbury has been using CoolRoads for five years now, and they have been very happy with the results. The roads treated are in much better condition and they have been able to resurface many more kilometres of road than if they did traditional asphalt resurfacing.

In addition to the benefits of reducing surface temperatures and minimizing the urban heat island effect, CoolRoads also has a number of other benefits, including:

• Increased durability
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Improved safety
• Increased driver comfort
• Reduced noise pollution
• Improved air quality

CoolRoads are a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for road resurfacing. It is made from recycled materials and does not contain any harmful chemicals. CoolRoads is also a cost-effective solution, as it can save councils money on road maintenance costs.

If you are looking for a road resurfacing solution that is safe, durable, and environmentally friendly, then CoolRoads is the best option for you.
