Performance - Gravel Resheets

 

Gravel resheet performance is listed by life cycle costs ($/m2/yr) in order from lowest to highest for resheets that have reached their end of life.  Also shown are the key variables affecting life cycle cost identified in pilot council testing.  The road conditions prior to resheet is an indication of the end of life of the resheet.

 

Care is to be taken in interpreting the performance reports as there are many factors, which affect life cycle costs including availability and cost of gravel materials, haul distance and modification of materials grading.
