Recycled Concrete Aggregate Sub-Base Leaches Alkaline pH Through Thin Asphalt — Same Problem as Limestone
A Dubbo hospital carpark extension had been constructed with a recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) base course under asphalt — a common sustainable construction practice in regional NSW where road demolition concrete is recycled rather than landfilled. The asphalt wearing course was 50mm over the RCA base.
Pull-off testing after primer application showed low adhesion values in the lower-lying zones of the carpark extension — 0.9-1.1 MPa in those areas versus 1.6-1.8 MPa in the adjacent original carpark with conventional crushed rock base. The RCA base had residual alkalinity from the original concrete — calcium hydroxide in the recycled concrete leached through the asphalt surface layer with moisture, disrupting the amine epoxy curing mechanism.
The mechanism is identical to the Bunbury WA crushed limestone sub-base issue — both involve calcium-based alkaline materials in the sub-base leaching through thin asphalt to the surface. The identification and treatment approach is the same: pH indicator strip test on the surface, phosphoric acid neutralisation wash where pH is above 9, re-test before priming.
Dubbo is Central West NSW's hub — the intersection of the Mitchell and Newell Highways, the hospital, retail, and government services hub for a vast agricultural and mining hinterland. Transport NSW approved.

Yes. NSW Government sustainability policies encourage the use of recycled construction materials in road and pavement construction. RCA from road demolition projects is increasingly specified as sub-base material in regional NSW. This makes RCA pH leaching an increasingly common consideration for marking in regional NSW carparks constructed in the last 5-10 years.

The alkalinity in RCA reduces over time as the calcium hydroxide is exhausted through carbonation and leaching. In a mature carpark that's been in service for 10+ years, the RCA alkalinity has typically stabilised. The issue is primarily in newer RCA sub-base carparks — generally less than 5 years old — where the alkalinity hasn't been depleted yet.
