Date Time New gravel road sealer put to test Horsham Rural City Council is hoping a new gravel sealing product being trialled at Lower Norton could lead to significant improvements in the condition of rural roads. Krishna Shrestha, the Manager Strategic Asset Management at Horsham Rural City Council, is a civil engineer who has piloted successful trials of ‘Otta seals’ at Narrandera Shire Council in New South Wales. Relatively unknown in Australia, Otta seals are a cost-efficient road treatment best suited for rural roads where traffic volumes are less than 200 vehicles per day. Put simply, graded gravel/crushed rock is placed on a relatively thick film of soft bitumen, and then rolled.
