Renovation of harbor roads at Krishnapatnam port with StabilRoad® technology

Renovation of harbor roads at Krishnapatnam port with StabilRoad® technology

Krishnapatnam port is located on the east coast of India and is one of the largest ports in the area. 6 years ago, StabilRoad technology was used there for the first time. Durable roads used by 120-ton heavy trucks, container terminals and truck parking lots were built and renovated on the sandy soil by the sea. The work done has been continuously monitored by India’s leading institutes like CRRI and IIT Hyderabad and samples have been taken till date. The quality of the works carried out is still excellent and the roads withstand heavy loads and traffic activity well.

Stabilization and asphalting of Krishnapatnam harbor areas

Stabilization and asphalting of Krishnapatnam harbor areas

In February 2017, extensive road works were carried out at the Port of Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh to stabilize and asphalt the access roads between the HGV parking lot. The aim of the project was to improve the durability and ease of use of the roads in order to ensure smooth and safe traffic in the port territory. Krishnapatnam Port is one of the largest and most important ports in India, handling thousands of heavy goods vehicles every day. The quality and durability of port access roads is critical as these roads must withstand extreme loads.

The project used StabilRoad® technology, which stabilized the existing soil and then covered it with a 5 cm thick layer of asphalt. For stabilization and mixing, only the soil found in the port area was used, including loamy sand and clayey crushed stone. This approach ensured that the materials needed for the road works were easily available and environmentally friendly.

The stabilization and asphalting of Krishnapatnam harbor areas was a successful project that demonstrated the benefits of using StabilRoad® technology. Thanks to StabilRoad® technology, the access roads are now significantly stronger and more durable, offering safe and comfortable traffic in the port.
