At StreetStrong, we are proud to showcase another successful project highlighting the power of Duratherm™ pavement technology. Partnering with Ford Civil Contracting, our team delivered a highly visible, durable solution for NSW Fire and Rescue at Castlereagh Street, in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

The challenge was clear: to create a distinct no parking zone in front of the station, ensuring road users recognised the need to keep the area clear for emergency vehicles. Constant truck movements demanded an effective, lasting solution — one that combined strength, visibility, and aesthetic appeal. Enter Duratherm™.

Duratherm™ is a specialised decorative asphalt paving system designed for high-traffic areas. Applied using heat and precision, Duratherm™ pavement creates a durable, textured, and highly visual surface that bonds seamlessly with existing asphalt. This patterned asphalt surface not only enhances streetscape aesthetics but also improves safety and compliance.

Using our expertise in stamped asphalt and asphalt stamping templates, the team employed StreetPrint asphalt stamping technology to embed clear, textured patterns into the pavement. The street printing process involves heating the existing asphalt, imprinting it with custom designs, and applying a durable thermoplastic material. The result? Long-lasting, textured asphalt that withstands the rigours of heavy fire trucks and constant urban traffic.

StreetStrong’s capabilities go far beyond emergency access zones. We are proud specialists in a wide range of civil applications, including:

• Cycleways and bike lanes, enhancing safety with durable, visible, and decorative delineations.

• High pedestrian activity area pavement markings, ensuring clear navigation for busy public spaces.

• Traffic calming thresholds and pedestrian crossings, using imprinted asphalt to naturally reduce speeds and improve safety.

• Residential subdivisions, providing distinct shared zone delineation for modern communities.

• Footpaths, plazas, malls, stadiums, and high-traffic pedestrian areas with standout decorative asphalt paving finishes.

• Maintenance and rejuvenation of existing installations, giving tired surfaces a new lease of life with minimal disruption.

• Skate parks, community recreation parks, and vibrant public spaces, transforming asphalt into colourful, textured landmarks.

Benefits of Duratherm™ Pavement Application:

• Durability: Withstands extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and heavy use.

• Safety: Increases driver and pedestrian awareness through vibrant, textured visuals.

• Low Maintenance: Resists cracking, fading, and wear over time.

• Fast Installation: Minimises disruption, even in busy urban environments.

• Design Flexibility: Offers endless customisation through street prints and asphalt stamping.

This project for NSW Fire and Rescue demonstrates how StreetStrong’s commitment to quality, innovation, and visual impact continues to set the standard for decorative asphalt paving and patterned asphalt surfaces across Australia.
