India today has the second largest road network
in the world but in order to develop one of the most efficient, environment friendly
and safe Highway network it needs to adopt new and appropriate technologies in
construction of roads, bridges and tunnelling. The infrastructure world has
been changing fast and it is a must that we keep a pace with it for reducing
the time of construction, minimising the cost, improving the quality and
durability of such infrastructure.
NHIDCL in
order to create infrastructure of highest standards would endeavour to adopt not
the latest but the most appropriate technologies and innovations considering
conditions in various regions of India. This exercise would include examination
and adoption of various technologies and innovations in the fields of materials,
designs (both for aesthetics and safety), construction, maintenance and operation
of highways, bridges and tunnels keeping in view guidelines of the Ministry of
Road Transport & Highways, Government of India.
The
discussion on this blog will help NHIDCL identify appropriate technologies and
innovations for creating and maintaining high standard and durable Highway
infrastructure like roads, bridges, tunnels (both on land and immersed) in most
cost effective, efficient and desirable (considering environment and safety
issues ) manner. The company urges all stakeholders to contribute to this blog by

Congratulations to NHIDCL on being incorporated for development of roads along our vast borders.
ReplyDeleteThis would take NHIDL right from the marshlands of Gujarat to the deserts of Rajasthan and valleys and mountains of Kashmir and the Indo-Tibetan Borders.
This covers the entire spectrum of Highway terrain and can be a technically challenging. Each area will have its own issues and nuances and would require the best of highway brains in the country, which we are sure that NHIDCL will foster.
This wide spectrum would also require state-of-the-art technologies relating not only to highways but several issues related to terrain and climates of these diverse stretches.
