NACOE - National Asset Centre of Excellence

The National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACOE) is a joint initiative by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB). 
The purpose of the partnership between TMR and ARRB is to unlock innovation and maximise knowledge transfer, delivering savings through smarter engineering and efficiency gains on a national scale.

Since 2013, NACOE has driven savings and enhanced national
technical capability in transport and road asset engineering through:
• Unlocking innovation
• Implementing international best practice
• Translating new knowledge into practice

Since then, NACOE have delivered and made public quality research results with financial benefits to the Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Programme (QTRIP). 

The Program provides benefits to the Australian road industry by delivering research to improve best practises and enables effective use of innovative materials to translate new knowledge into practice.
