Inert Waste from Bio-Remediation to Build Roads

27 Jul 2023 CW Team

An agreement has been made between the city municipal corporation and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to utilize the byproduct obtained from the bio-remediation process of legacy waste in road construction.

The MoU was signed by Sushil Kumar, the NHAI contractor, and Sachin Kulkarni, the CEO of Sagar Motors, the bio-remediation contractor, at the MC Zone D office. The signing ceremony was attended by MC commissioner Shena Aggarwal and NHAI project director Ashok Rolania.

Following the bio-remediation of legacy waste, the resulting inert material will now find application in the road construction work (earth filling) undertaken by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

The authorities have revealed that the civic body is actively working on the disposal of accumulated legacy waste at the primary dump site on Tajpur Road. Sagar Motors has been engaged to carry out the bioremediation process. Inert is one of the residual components left after the bioremediation process, and it will now serve as a valuable resource for NHAI in their road construction projects.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..
