In monsoon areas, where annual rainfall can reach up to 3000 mm, roads often face severe damage. The rain washes away the roads and in case of floods, the whole infrastructure suffers significantly. This in turn negatively affects the local economy and the daily life of communities. StabilRoad® technology offers a solution that can withstand harsh weather conditions. Improved roads built using the StabilRoad® method remain in perfect condition even after many years. This means that rural residents do not have to repeatedly lose their vital infrastructure and can enjoy constant connectivity and better living conditions.

StabilRoad® stabilization technology is based on a unique method, making the road resistant to extreme rainfall and flooding. This technology ensures that the roads remain strong and durable even in the most severe weather conditions. As a result, it is possible to reduce road repair and maintenance costs while providing a reliable transportation network. In addition to weather resistance, StabilRoad® technology is also environmentally friendly. By using local materials and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance, it helps reduce the ecological footprint. This is especially important in areas where conservation of natural resources is critical.

StabilRoad® supports the essential economic development of rural areas by providing safe and climate-adapted roads. Stable and reliable infrastructure is an important factor that allows the local economy to develop, improving access to markets, education and health services. This leads to an increase in the quality of life and creates new economic opportunities. StabilRoad® technology offers a sustainable and efficient solution for road stabilization in areas with a harsher climate. As a result, rural communities can maintain their vital infrastructure even in extreme weather conditions, ensuring sustainable economic growth and better living conditions.

From March 2020, the repair work on the existing roads and concourses of the Hyderabad International Airport began. In addition, new roads and parks serving the airport began to be built using StabilRoad® technology. The Government of India granted special permission to continue the work even during the quarantine period of the Covid-19 virus, which allowed for more extensive work, as air traffic was minimal at that time. During the renovation and reconstruction works, the Hyderabad airport taxiways, partially the alternate runway and the entire main runway were stabilized using StabilRoad® technology. In total, nearly 300,000 m² of surface was stabilized.

One of the largest cargo aircraft, the Airbus Beluga, landed at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) on December 4, giving the onlookers a rare and extraordinary experience. Hyderabad airport authorities arranged this landing on the runway, which was part of the StabilRoad® method carried out in 2020 and 2021, covering a total area of ​​700,000 square meters.

The use of StabilRoad® technology at Hyderabad International Airport once again proved its efficiency and durability. The technology allows heavily loaded roads and runways to maintain their quality and functionality even under intensive use. The StabilRoad® method has helped reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of roads, providing an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution. Hyderabad International Airport’s major project is a model for future airport infrastructure projects, proving that high-quality and durable road can be achieved even in challenging conditions.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands national highway extension

/by

In 2019, a new and ambitious national highway project was launched in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. The aim of the project was to improve traffic safety and road durability, especially given the islands’ harsh climate and monsoon seasons, which bring intense rainfall and difficult weather conditions. Andaman and Nicobar Islands are known for their beautiful yet challenging landscape. The area’s road infrastructure is vital to the development of the local community and tourism.

The project used StabilRoad® technology, which was used to widen a road approximately 55 kilometers long and 5.5 meters wide. The first road section was completed in 2019, after which extensive testing and monitoring was carried out. The results of the testing were very positive, so it was decided to complete the construction of the entire road using the StabilRoad® method. The project was completed by March 2021.

The widening of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands National Highway was a successful project that demonstrated the benefits of using StabilRoad® technology. Thanks to StabilRoad® technology, the national road of the islands is now stronger and more durable, offering a safe and comfortable traffic option for the residents and visitors of the islands.

Stabilization and asphalting of main street in central Hyderabad

Stabilization and asphalting of main street in central Hyderabad

/by

In February 2018, extensive road works were carried out in the center of Hyderabad, during which the main street was stabilized and asphalted. The main goal of the project was to improve the quality of the pavement, ensuring its durability and extending its service life. The project was aimed at stabilizing the existing multi-layer partially degraded bitumen asphalt soil and covering it with a new asphalt layer. Hyderabad, home to around 7 million people, is known for its heavy traffic and intense traffic congestion. The quality and condition of the central high street is critical as it is one of the city’s main transport hubs.

The project used StabilRoad® technology, which stabilized the existing soil and then covered it with a 5 cm thick layer of asphalt. During the process, 30 cm of soil was mixed, of which about 25 cm was bituminous asphalt and 5 cm old black mix (WMM). The stabilized surface was then covered with a new asphalt layer 5 cm thick, which ensured the strength and durability of the road surface.

The stabilization and asphalting of a main street in the city center of Hyderabad was a successful project that demonstrated the benefits of using StabilRoad® technology. Thanks to StabilRoad® technology, the new main street is now significantly stronger and more durable, providing safe and comfortable traffic for millions of people.

Renovation of the Imavere log sorting area warehouse

Renovation of the Imavere log sorting area warehouse

/by

In July 2016, a project was carried out, during which the old dilapidated asphalt covered warehouse was renovated in the Imavere log sorting area. The goal of the project was to stabilize and improve the decking of the warehouse to ensure its durability and long-term service life. Over time, the old asphalt coating of the warehouse had decayed, making work difficult and dangerous. The Imavere log sorting area is an important part of Stora Enso’s logistics chain, where large quantities of wood are sorted and stored.

The project used StabilRoad® technology, by which the existing pavement material (gravel, sand, clay) was mixed with cement and StabilRoad® additive to achieve the required stability. The existing soil was thoroughly mixed to create a stable base for further work. After stabilization, the storage area was left uncovered for the winter, allowing the soil to settle and gain the necessary strength.

The renovation of the sorting area warehouse was a successful project that demonstrated the benefits of using StabilRoad® technology. Thanks to the StabilRoad® technology, the warehouse is significantly stronger and more durable, offering safe and comfortable work arrangements for the staff of the entire sorting area.
