Road construction in India is changing rapidly. We are looking at faster construction, roads for higher speed, stringent quality control and longer life of our roads. In such a scenario, this technique is all the more relevant in India because it provides a cost-effective and durable road maintenance solution, allowing for the preservation of existing road infrastructure and extending its lifespan. It is particularly valuable for areas with limited budgets, offering a quicker and less disruptive approach to road repairs compared to more extensive methods.
- It does not require any plant establishment, number of haulage trucks, pavers, rollers, fuel, transportation, therefore, it is a sought-after treatment to preserve health of a pavement in a cost-effective manner.
- Reduces life-cycle cost substantially compared to traditional resurfacing methods.
- The mixing and laying is done in one process, hence it gives higher output.
- Reduces raw material compared to traditional resurfacing methods, as it os cost effective as compared to the conventional Hot mix treatment.
- It produces a smooth surface without disturbing the existing profile.
- Demands less down time, and traffic can be resumed within one hour.
- No damage is caused to existing road furniture or existing drainage.
- There is no damage to the median or avenue plantations.
- Microsurfacing is proven to improve roadway safety, lower greenhouse gas emissions and is more economical than waiting until rehabilitation is required.
