Mining and Haul Road Pavements:
Heavy-Duty Pavement Design for WA Mining Operations
At WML Consulting Engineers, our Mining & Haul Road Pavements services deliver robust, high-performance pavement solutions designed specifically for the demanding conditions of Western Australian mine sites.
​
From remote haul routes to high-traffic production corridors, we design pavements capable of supporting extreme loads, challenging ground conditions, and long operational lifecycles.
Contact us to get started.
Whether you’re developing a new mine, upgrading haul routes, or assessing pavement performance for larger truck classes, WML Consulting Engineers provides mining pavement solutions tailored to Western Australian conditions and heavy-duty operational demands.

Sealed & Unsealed Haul Roads
WML designs both sealed and unsealed haul roads for mining operations. We undertake detailed site investigations to assess subgrade conditions and determine appropriate pavement thickness and layer composition based on traffic loading and operational requirements.
Our designs are tailored to:
Subgrade strength and in-situ conditions
Haul truck size and traffic frequency
Climatic and drainage considerations
Operational and maintenance requirements
The result is a durable, cost-effective haul road structure suited to real-world mining environments.
Surfacing Design for Large Haul Trucks
WML has successfully designed sprayed bituminous surfacing’s for mine haul trucks, up to 400 tonnes.
The design of surfacing under these extreme loadings pushes well beyond modern design standards, and WML routinely monitors the performance of our previous surfacing designs to provide an empirical database of knowledge to inform future designs.
Our WA-specific experience allows us to provide surfacing design that stands up to the unique loading demands on WA Haul Roads to provide pavement and surfacing with low maintenance needs.
Mine Waste Material Use
WML provides specialist advice on the use of processed mine waste materials within pavement layers.
Where appropriate, we assess and incorporate:
Processed waste rock
Mine by-products
Locally sourced materials
This approach supports cost efficiency, sustainability, and practical site logistics, while ensuring performance requirements are met.
