Improving the durability of roads in Africa – How geosynthetics are helping to improve the durability of roads

It is widely known that one of the biggest challenges for Africa’s development today its infrastructure development. estimated there are $2.5 trillion in active projects which should be completed by 2025. Even if not all will completed, it shows importance continent. This includes, vast majority, improvement road network. At same time, asphalt degradation (and cracking) a worldwide problem causes big challenge to and transport authorities around world, with impact Africa as can take part budget assigned The premature cracking roads implies having invest, prematurely, more funds into rehabilitation rather than developing actual For this reason, increasing durability has become major concern last years. We go through highest growing solutions reinforcement geocomposites how proper design installation drastically improve life roads. Practical examples (recent old) presented show benefits we adapt local conditions.
