BRO proposes environment-friendly tech to construct roads in Arunachal

Keeping in view the challenges faced by the construction agency in the state due to fragile soil status and landslides, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) will soon launch an environment-friendly technology to construct roads in Arunachal Pradesh.

The Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) established in 1952, as a constituent laboratory of India’s Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), conducted in-depth research and evolved environment friendly techniques for road construction in Arunachal Pradesh, BRO’s Project Arunank chief engineer Brig Anirudh S Kanwar said.

The CRRI evolved the technology at the desire of BRO Director General Lt Gen Rajeev Chaudhry, Brig Kanwar said. The technique would be taken up soon by BRO’s Project Arunank as a pilot project in the state, he said.

The cost effective technique, using steel slag, a byproduct of steel, would be used in constructing roads in the state which would be more durable for roads in the land-locked state, Brig Kanwar said. CSIR-CRRI principal scientist Dr Satish Pandey, who has been part of India’s first steel slag road of Surat-Hazira, would assist BRO for its trials.
