AP pilots Denmark tech for durable roads
Kurnool: Several roads in Andhra Pradesh are going to get new look and pothole-free as the state government started using Danish Asphalt Reinforcing technology of Denmark as per the directions of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to give priority for roads network. As part of the initiative, minister for roads and buildings B C Janardhana Reddy launched the pilot project of Danish Asphalt reinforcing technology for a road from Mudigedu to Sanjamala in Banaganapalle constituency in Nandyal district. The minister said that the new technology is being used for noted projects world-wide, including airports, metro and motorways. He said that the new technology will help in ensuring long life of roads and able to bear heavy loads without sinking and potholes. He said if the pilot project is successful, the same technology will be used throughout the state. The minister said this innovative approach, combining bitumen with aramid and polyolefin fibers, ensures roads that are 50 per cent more durable and resistant to potholes and floods. R&B ENC Ramachandra said that the road project was taken as a pilot project by Danish Fiber company of Denmark as a trial run and if it is successful, it will be used throughout the state. Danish firm's representative Jose Sebastian expressed delight over partnering with the Andhra Pradesh government, noting the technology's proven effectiveness in European infrastructure projects, including Heathrow Airport and the Dubai Metro. Other dignitaries present included NDB CEO M V R Vivekananda Reddy, R&B SE Maheshwar Reddy, EE Sridhar Reddy, DE Subbaraidu, and Danish team members Michael, David, and Jose Sebastian.

AP set to launch pothole-free road project with Danish tech
Vijayawada: In a first-of-its-kind technology for road laying in the state, the roads and buildings (R&B) department is set to use the Danish Asphalt Reinforcing Fiber method for road construction. The govt will introduce the Denmark-based Danish Fibre Road construction method for the two-lane road between Mudigedu and Sanjamala. This project, costing 12.58 crore, will be constructed in the Banaganapalli constituency, represented by R&B minister BC Janardhan Reddy in Nandyal district, on a pilot basis starting Friday. Engineers from Danish Fibres AS will personally supervise the road construction process using the Danish Asphalt Reinforcing Fiber method between Mudigedu and Sanjamala in the Banaganapalli constituency. The Danish Asphalt Reinforcing Fiber is a unique, innovative, sustainable, and recyclable technology for reinforcing asphalt roads. It is designed to prevent 100% of potholes on asphalt roads, while also preventing cracks, rutting, and premature failures. This method extends the longevity of asphalt roads by 50% or more, thereby reducing maintenance costs. The Danish Asphalt Reinforcing Fiber is a high tensile strength synthetic fiber blend formulated with Aramid and Polyolefin fibers to reinforce asphalt mixes in both new roads and the rehabilitation of existing cracked roads. Minister Janardhan Reddy stated if the pilot project is successful, the technology will be implemented in all road construction projects across the state. The successful execution of the new technology in Andhra Pradesh will position the state as a pioneer in road construction, setting an example for the rest of the country.
