Training exercises at Jabiru and Gunbalanya Landfills

West Arnhem Regional Council previously purchased new emulsion spray units for each of the five communities in the region including Minjilang, Warruwi, Maningrida, Jabiru and Gunbalanya.
The units are extremely important in maintaining the roads in all communities, including repairs, patching and sealing. This includes patching of bitumen roads, road edge breaks and also for larger areas to seal/ construct new road sections, carparks or footpaths.
Making use of the new equipment, sealing works recently took place at the Jabiru and Gunbalanya landfill sites, which also doubled as a training session for the crew to gain experience in using the emulsion spray units. 
The works included sealing the ramps to the sorting bays at each site.
While making the surfaces much safer for vehicles and general public use, the road sealing reduces dust on a great scale and provides all-year-round surface protection from rain.
The emulsion tack coat use is environmentally-friendly which will also benefit the community.
