Kolkata: A number of prominent roads in the city will be repaired using technology that promises to make the process completely pollution.
Next month, the State Public Works Department (PWD) will reopen the battered VIP road and crater, along with Red Road, Rosmital Road and Mayo Road, using the ‘mechanical asphalt mechanics’, the method that will be used for the first time in the city.
Track the level of pollution in the citypwd engineer you claim that technology can be a “game-changer” in the street building.
“Gussasphalt machines” imported from Germany, they said, will also make work five times faster than the existing method.
Asphalt Males, for a long time liked by road engineers because of their durability, it is proven to be problematic because the method used to produce is very polluting.
Following the government of the National Green Court which prohibits the asphalt of the “roasting” moment by the roadside, the state government, too, in 2018 has been pushing to end the method, suggest the use of concrete or bitumen in the road building.
But bitumen is not the ideal choice in the city that is vulnerable to waterlogging, as worn faster; The presence of utility services, such as power cables, under city roads, raises accessibility problems if there is a concrete road.
“Considering the amount of kolkata rain, no one requires asphalt that can make the road last long,” said a senior PWD official.
“After the NGT and state government orders, we are starting to seek an ecologically sustainable alternative.
In India, only Jalan Mumbai has been built using this technology.
We will be one of the first use in East India.
After the trial succeeded, more roads Inside and around the city, along with the bridge surface, can lie back, use technology, “he added.
This technology allows for asphalt moments baked in a factory far from the city to be carried in a large boiler attached to the truck, where the temperature of more than 200 ° C will be maintained to maintain the impulse in perfect condition.
The vehicle will also be attached to a scraper, mixer, and separate paver, which will erode the top and put it with Damar asphalt.
“While the current manual work can hardly cover 100 meters per night, this new technology will help us respond to about 500 meters to 700 meters per night.
This will make the road surface ambition faster and pollution free,” the official said.
“After a series of talks with the government, we called last year’s tender and found the bidder, who agreed to buy a German machine and adapted the technology of laying new roads.
We have given a contract to the agency, waiting for the engine, worth around Rs 26 Crore, to reach the city.
It was on the way and had to reach the end of this month, after which work could begin, “he said, adding that internal improvement preparation had already taken place.
