Building Resilient and Long-Lasting Roads

By making roads more resilient and long lasting, and to prevent premature road failures such as potholes, disintegration, and collapses, contractors are using technically advanced machines being developed by OEMs, collaborating with providers of new project management software tools and technologies, and following sustainable construction practices that involve use of by-products like fly ash, molasses, and steel slag, plastic waste and recycled aggregates.

The integration of eco-friendly materials such as plastic, fly ash, and recycled aggregates into road projects is becoming commonplace. These materials not only help in reducing environmental impact but also offer cost benefits and improved durability. However, their adoption comes with challenges, including the need for rigorous quality control and the development of new construction methodologies.
