Application of FDR Technology for Upgradation of a National Highway
Highway construction is one of the industries that uses the most natural resources. The use of recycled materials can lead to significant reductions in mining and the consumption of virgin materials, energy conservation, and landfill space. Innovations such as recycling and pavement stabilization shall be implemented on Indian roads to reduce fuel and aggregate consumption. This paper presents the case study of the adoption of full-depth reclamation (FDR) technology for the rehabilitation and widening of the national highway in Andaman. The work site is in a remote place, and transportation of aggregates to the site is a very expensive proposition. Mining of these raw materials is not allowed in areas near the construction site since it has an adverse effect on the forest environment. To overcome all these challenges, alternate pavement construction methods were explored, and the adoption of stabilization technology for rehabilitation and up-gradation of some parts of Andaman Trunk Road (ATR) was carried out by using FDR. The design planned the in situ stabilization of the existing crust with cement.
