Client Requirement: The client desired a bitumen road but sought an innovative and long-lasting solution.
Project Location: Layout Property, Kengeri, Bangalore.
Project Details
Initial Condition: The base layer of Wet Mix Macadam (WMM) was done years back.
Base Rework: Comprehensive base rework was undertaken to ensure the base was well-compacted, achieving the necessary compaction for asphalting.
Asphalting Solution: Used Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA), known for its durability and innovative approach.
Key Points about SMA (Stone Matrix Asphalt)
Durability: SMA offers high resistance to deformation and rutting, making it ideal for long-lasting road surfaces.
Performance: It provides excellent skid resistance and improved surface texture, enhancing road safety.
Material Composition: SMA is composed of a coarse aggregate skeleton with a rich mortar binder, ensuring a strong and stable road structure.
Maintenance: Roads built with SMA require less frequent maintenance, reducing long-term costs.
Project Execution
Timeline: The project was completed within 2 weeks.
Innovation: This project marked the first use of SMA technology on a private road in Bangalore, showcasing a commitment to innovative and sustainable road construction methods.
Outcome
The project successfully met the client’s requirements for a durable and innovative road.
The use of SMA technology has set a new standard for private road construction in Bangalore, demonstrating the effectiveness of advanced road surfacing solutions.
