J&K administration using RCP method to repair roads in Srinagar

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 06 Oct 2020, 06:51 pm

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir administration has started repairing the roads in Srinagar city by using the rigid concrete pavements (RCP).

As per Surinder Singh Sodhi, Junior Engineer at Jammu and Kashmir Economic Reconstruction Agency (JKERA), roads are being built using the RCP technique which will last longer and are also economic, reports ANI.

“RCP last for 20-30 years, while the conventional flexible pavement is more susceptible to damages during waterlogging and in winters and get damage nearly every year. RCP roads are strengthened with the laying of three layers comprising GSB (Granular sub-Base), DLC (Dry Lean Concrete), and the final layer of PQC (Pavement Quality Concrete). This technology lasts much longer and therefore is economically beneficial too,” he told the news agency.

He further said that the project will directly benefit thousands of people living on both the sides of the road that include Rambagh, Solina, Allochi Bagh, Tulsi Bagh, Hazuri Bagh, Magarmal Bagh, Saraibala, Shaheed Gunj, Maharaja Bazar, Bakshi Stadium, and Batmaloo and many other parts of Srinagar.

Locals have already appreciated the administration for the move.

Nazir Beig, a local resident, told ANI that RCP is a tried and tested technology that will last for years.

“This is one of the best technologies for road construction. The roads constructed using the technique will last for a long time. This is a foreign technology, which is tried and trusted. We thank the administration for bringing the technology in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
