Development Process
With ever constrained maintenance budgets, the upkeep of the New Zealand’s roads are becoming more challenging every year. Road Science understands this and employs targeted development to create solutions to make our customers’ lives easier.
Research and Development at Road Science takes a practical approach underpinned by science. We work closely with customers and the operational teams who will be applying the product to ensure our products are robust and fit for purpose.
What makes us different is that we see the product right from conception through to full scale delivery. We do this through a development process that has been tailored to meet the needs of the industry. Through our industry leading laboratory services and development partners we can rapidly prototype and trial a solution with the people who will actually be using it.
The team applied this process to develop both material and technology based solutions that solve some of the greatest challenges faced by the industry.
