NT Bitumen & Asphalt News

​ The NTBA crew have been out and about again, extending our services to every corner of the Northern Territory. As well as continuing our projects on the Plenty Highway, the guys have made their way into Alice Springs to complete some work as well.
 
One in particular was for Hume Contracting – a large car park upgrade on the corner of Bath and Gregory Terraces. It was approximately 1600m2 of 10mm bitumen reseal upgrade to what was previously a pavement in desperate need of some new life.
 
600m2 of the area needed to be prepared by way of a prime coat, followed by a 10mm seal – as well as the reseal to the opposite existing side. The project was delivered on time and with no fuss despite the cold climate temperatures in Alice this time of year.

Please find a video below of the pavement having just been primed!

News: ​We ​are delighted to announce the company has won the Central Reseals Tender for 2018! It marks the third time in four years that we have been awarded this highly sought-after contract, which spans the width of the Northern Territory from Katherine to south of Tennant Creek.

With over a million litres of bitumen to be sprayed and nearly 7000-tonne of rock to spread, there really is less than a handful of companies in the Territory capable of tackling such a project, and we are incredibly proud to not only be in the ‘ball park’, but to take it a step further and pry the work away from our multi-national competitors.

Like us, the Northern Territory Government is committed to using local businesses as contractors and suppliers, and their tender review for ‘local content’ carried a 30% weighting this year. We are a 100% Northern Territory-owned and operated company and we are proud that this work will be undertaken by our Territorian workforce.

Works this year begin on the Stuart Highway just to the south of Larrimah. They continue on the Carpentaria Highway en route to Borroloola, before stretching onto Bing Bong Road. We then head south for some more resealing works on the Barkly Highway near the Queensland Border. We then head south of Tennant Creek near the Devil’s Marbles for another large section on the Stuart Highway.

Based in Darwin, we are leaders in the spray-seal and asphalt industry and undertake all forms of work, from large reseal contracts to small private driveways and carparks. Please use the Contact page for more information.
