Microsurfacing & Rejuvenation Surfacing

Microsurfacing is hitting the ground in New Zealand with Downer Transport & Infrastructure this year. This is a modern technique that we are proudly introducing to our clients across the country. As such, we are building a crew of sealing professionals to be trained by our Downer experts from Australia.

**What is Microsurfacing?**
Microsurfacing is one of Downer’s key pavement preservation capabilities. Microsurfacing provides pavement shape correction and a quiet and smooth riding surface with similar aesthetics to asphalt. It is applied at ambient temperature, reducing carbon emissions and allowing a rapid return to normal traffic flows. As a further benefit, reflective pavement cracking can be reduced by up to 30% through the use of fibre-reinforced microsurfacing.
