Oxley Highway to Kempsey - Pacific Highway upgrade

Evenrange Concrete Solutions provided concrete curing compounds to the Oxley Highway to Kempsey Pacific Highway upgrade, a 37-kilometre four-lane divided highway project in the NSW mid-north coast region.

The project was delivered in two sections as part of the Pacific Highway upgrade program, from the Oxley Highway to Kundabung and from Kundabung to Kempsey, with early works on the Sancrox interchange. Jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments, construction began in October 2014 and the highway opened to traffic in 2017. The upgrade delivered 37 kilometres of four-lane divided highway, replacing a dangerous stretch of two-lane road and creating safer access for communities across the NSW mid-north coast.

Evenrange's concrete curing compounds were applied across pavement slabs, bridge structures and interchange elements throughout both project sections. Achieving adequate curing on highway-grade concrete is critical to long-term pavement life, and Evenrange products are formulated to form an effective membrane that retains moisture and supports full hydration under site conditions. All products comply with AS 3799 and were specified to meet Transport for NSW (formerly Roads and Maritime Services) requirements.

At 37 kilometres across two separately managed sections, this was one of the largest single highway upgrade projects Evenrange has supplied. Coordinating product delivery across two active construction fronts over a multi-year program requires a supplier with strong logistics capability and a thorough understanding of construction sequencing. Evenrange maintained consistent supply to both sections throughout the program, supporting contractors from early interchange works through to final pavement completion. Further details on the NSW Government's Pacific Highway upgrade program are available on the NSW Government website.

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