Nambucca Heads to Urunga - Pacific Highway upgrade

Evenrange Concrete Solutions supplied concrete curing compounds to the Nambucca Heads to Urunga Pacific Highway upgrade, a 22-kilometre, $780 million project that opened to traffic in July 2016, delivering four-lane divided highway and new interchange access to the NSW mid-north coast.

The $780 million project was jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments as part of the broader Pacific Highway upgrade program, with works delivered by Absolute Utilities. The upgrade included new interchanges at Nambucca Heads and Ballards Road, an upgrade of the existing Waterfall Way interchange at Raleigh, and the construction of new bridges along the 22-kilometre corridor. These improvements created safer, faster access for local residents and removed dangerous sections of the old two-lane highway. The upgraded highway opened to traffic on 22 July 2016.

Evenrange's concrete curing compounds were applied to bridge decks, pavement slabs, retaining walls and interchange structures across the project. Coastal construction environments present specific challenges for concrete curing, including humidity variation, salt-laden air and high UV exposure on open sites. Evenrange products are formulated to maintain effective membrane integrity under these conditions, and all products supplied comply with AS 3799 and were specified to meet Transport for NSW (formerly Roads and Maritime Services) requirements.

The Nambucca Heads to Urunga upgrade is one of several adjoining projects along the Pacific Highway corridor where Evenrange has supplied curing compounds. This continuity of supply reflects the confidence that contractors working under the NSW Government's Pacific Highway upgrade program place in Evenrange's products and technical support. For contractors working in coastal NSW, Evenrange offers locally relevant expertise backed by national distribution capability.

Evenrange formulates and manufactures concrete curing compounds supplied to leading Australian construction distributors, and sells direct to contractors.
