Research & development

Downer’s research and development business and laboratories across Australia and New Zealand provide the innovation engine behind our high-recycled content products and landfill diversion achievements.

Our teams of experts work closely with business development and delivery teams to co-develop and validate products that address customer challenges, especially those related to sustainability, recycled content, and waste minimisation.

By integrating recycled materials into mainstream bituminous and pavement products, Downer reduces reliance on virgin materials and advances the circular economy. Our Ammann RAH100 High Recycled Technology asphalt plants have the capability to produce high recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes with over 99% recycled content. Supported by our R&D laboratories, this approach delivers technical breakthroughs and tangible sustainability outcomes for customers and communities.
