Dive deep into the science and innovation shaping New Zealand’s surfacing sector at Black Art 2025. This technical workshop reflects on 20 years of the Chipseal Textbook while confronting today’s pressing challenges—from flushing failures to the revised NZTA M01A specification. Explore new research on fatigue resistance, sustainable biobinders, and bitumen treated basecourse. Hear how collaborative delivery models like T2W and the Eastern Busway Alliance are redefining project success, and how focused rehabilitation and zone closures are transforming network resilience.
With cutting-edge sessions on warm mix asphalt compaction, EPDs, and alternative preservation techniques, this event connects the past, present, and future of surfacing and pavements in New Zealand. Whether you're in asphalt, chipseal, or strategic asset management, Black Art 2025 is your platform to learn, challenge, and lead.
