Project Highlights

Selected work for highway concessionaires, the Public Works Department, local authorities, universities and industrial developers.

Roads that carry the heaviest traffic.

Our clients bring us the sections that fail first: slow lanes under heavy trucks, junctions where vehicles brake and turn, and industrial roads that see lorries all day. The projects below show how Fibre Mastic Asphalt is specified, produced, laid and monitored on those roads.

The record so far.

120+

Senai–Desaru Expressway

From one trial section to more than fifty.

Senai-Desaru Expressway Berhad
Malaysian Technology Development Corporation

Slow lanes on the Senai–Desaru Expressway (E22) carry heavy trucks between Senai, Pasir Gudang and Desaru. Since the first section at KM5.1 in 2019, facilitated by MTDC, Fibre Mastic Asphalt has been laid on more than 50 sections.

One mix, designed for the expressway's aggregates and traffic, is used throughout. After three years in service, the KM5.5 section recorded 3.5 mm of rutting and no cracking.

Belati Wangsa
THB Maintenance

Under JKR's Federal Road Maintenance programme, Fibre Mastic Asphalt is laid as a mill-and-pave wearing course on federal routes with recurring rutting and cracking, in annual phases with the regional maintenance concessionaires.

Every section follows the same sequence: site assessment, mix design and plant trial, supervised paving, and monitoring after the road reopens.

LATAR Expressway

Four consecutive years.

LATAR Expressway

After a one-day trial lay in October 2023, FMA20 has been used on the LATAR Expressway (E25) every year since, resurfacing slow-lane sections affected by rutting, cracking and shoving.

At the three-month inspection in March 2026, the 2025 sections showed no cracking, rutting, potholes or deformation.

FMA20 was specified as the wearing course for the internal roads of NCT Group's industrial park in Sepang: 60 mm over a 70 mm AC28 binder course, built for continuous heavy traffic.

Phase 1 laid about 4,940 tonnes in eight working days in March 2026, with Novapave engineers on site throughout. Phase 2 followed in July 2026.

Repeat work on port roads.

Majlis Bandaraya Pasir Gudang
Safwa Global Venture

Jalan Pekeliling and Jalan Besar carry container trucks and heavy lorries serving Pasir Gudang's port and industrial estates. For Majlis Bandaraya Pasir Gudang, Safwa Global Venture first laid Fibre Mastic Asphalt here in 2022.

The work was extended in 2023 and 2024. Each phase is inspected after opening, with the 2024 section monitored to 17 months.

The road links factories, warehouses and showrooms with nearby housing, with lorries and trailers turning and parking through the day. After a trial lay, about 2 km was resurfaced in both directions, with Jalan Denai, in April and May 2025.

At the 12-month inspection in June 2026, the road remained in good overall condition.

Bukit Beruntung

Industrial roads for Majlis Perbandaran Hulu Selangor.

Majlis Perbandaran Hulu Selangor

The work began with an investigation. Coring and dynamic cone penetrometer tests showed the distress was in the asphalt layers, not the subgrade, so FMA14 was laid on Persiaran Majlis and Persiaran Jejarum in December 2022.

The council extended the work in 2023 to Persiaran As-Salam, Kuala Kali, Seroja and Automotif.

Every project, the same discipline.

Each project starts with a site assessment and a mix design proven in a plant trial. Our engineers support paving on site, and the road is inspected after it reopens, with monitoring reports at 3, 6 and 12 months. Details of the process are on our Quality & Compliance page.
