Microsurfacing

Microsurfacing smooths surfaces, provides levelling, improves safety in wet conditions, lowers noise – all leading to enhanced ride quality. Applied at room temperature, it reduces energy use and emissions, and roads can reopen within hours, minimising disruption —an important benefit for busy urban areas.

Downer tailors microsurfacing for local needs across Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, microsurfacing is used to shape roads before sealing and to preserve drainage and surface levels. In New Zealand, Downer’s MicroPave product, backed by specialist support and new equipment, has received positive feedback for its finish and noise reduction.
