Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Road Construction for a Sustainable Future

The environmental impact of road construction and rehabilitation is closely linked to the surge in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a major contributor to climate change.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a staggering 25% of all GHG emissions originate from the transport industry. To align with global efforts, including the Paris Agreement and recent IPCC reports, a reduction in GHG across all sectors is imperative to combat climate change and achieve the necessary decrease in CO2 emissions.

It’s crucial to reevaluate road construction methods, balancing the demand for increased connectivity with community upliftment and support for local agriculture and food security.

Opting for our Engineered Base Stabilizer (EBS), an environmentally compliant stabilizer and surface seal, rather than conventional bitumen, cement, or asphalt, ensures a substantial reduction in GHG emissions.

STOP. RETHINK. DO BETTER.

Sustainable Solutions for Rural Gravel Road Construction and Upgrade

Soil and Dust Solutions champions a sustainable approach to the construction and enhancement of rural gravel roads, offering:

Gravel Road upgrades and improvements are a critical factor in facilitating development…

WHAT ROADS WANT

  • Substantial Cost Savings
  • Decreased Maintenance
  • Increased Sustainability
  • Improved Service Delivery

Most countries boast a secondary gravel road network spanning from thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers. While gravel roads were once acceptable, the current demands of population and commercial growth necessitate more advanced road transport systems. The upgrades and improvements to gravel roads play a pivotal role in facilitating overall development, as well as fostering commercial and agricultural growth.

Choose Soil and Dust Solutions for a sustainable and efficient approach to rural gravel road construction and upgrades.

Transforming Gravel Roads: Sustainable Solutions for Long-Term Success

Gravel roads pose a challenge with frequent and costly maintenance needs, as the surfaces quickly deteriorate due to erosion and material loss.

Upgrading rural gravel road networks to asphalt has become financially impractical and unsustainable. However, Soil and Dust have the SOLUTION!

We’ve crafted comprehensive Gravel Road Upgrade programs tailored for institutions and governments. These programs encompass detailed specifications, quality assurance and testing processes, and maintenance plans. Our approach provides a long-term, sustainable solution for gravel road construction and upgrades.
