Highways and roads In highway projects involving overpasses, bridges, overpasses, underpasses and overpasses, many RCC structures are done in precast, including segmented box girders or U-beams, piers and pier caps in the case of RRTS and MRTS projects, says Debashish Roy , CEO, Vollert India. Underpasses or subways that are more like underground tunnels are done in prefab, which was not the case a few years ago. A prefab concrete construction for underpasses can be an open box profile, portal frame segments or separate wall and roof elements.
Road developers use high-end machines to build roads quickly and smoothly, but they struggle to develop small structures for facilities such as kiosks, toilets and administrative blocks, which each contractor must complete before final completion, adds Ronak Dhoot, Founder & CEO, BLOKS Prefab. To meet this challenge, BLOKS Precast can build all facilities for road projects in prefab. The company has done this for a road project being carried out by GR Infra in Andhra Pradesh.
Weve also supplied U-drains to road developers, which they find helpful because the components are ready to install once you've excavated the area,” he adds. “We are also looking at supplying components for the periphery walls of highway projects.
