Brand Highway Upgrade
Survey support for MACA on a full pavement reconstruction of the Brand Highway near Muchea, from control and existing surface surveys to machine control models, set-out and as-constructed records for every pavement layer.
The Brand Highway upgrade near Muchea was a full pavement reconstruction. Noble Surveys worked for MACA from early 2022 to mid 2024, installing control, measuring the existing surfaces for quantity calculations, and creating the machine control models the construction fleet worked to.
We then set out every pavement layer and the linemarking, and completed as-constructed surveys of each. See our highway and road construction surveys for the full service, and the Bussell Highway Duplication for another MACA highway project.

Scope of work
Survey support for every pavement layer
Noble Surveys covered the project from control and existing surface surveys through to set-out and as-constructed of each pavement layer and the linemarking.
- •Installation of survey control for the project.
- •Surveys of the existing surfaces for quantity calculations.
- •Machine control models created for the construction fleet.
- •Set-out of all pavement layers.
- •As-constructed surveys of all pavement layers.
- •Set-out and as-constructed of linemarking.
Project challenges
Rebuilding a highway pavement layer by layer
A full pavement reconstruction means every layer needs to be set out and recorded, and the existing surfaces need to be measured first so quantities can be calculated.
- •A full pavement reconstruction of an existing highway.
- •Every pavement layer needed set-out and an as-constructed record.
- •Existing surfaces had to be measured before works so quantities could be calculated.
Deliverables
- •Survey control.
- •Existing surface surveys and quantity calculations.
- •Machine control models.
- •Pavement layer set-out and as-constructed records.
- •Linemarking set-out and as-constructed records.
