EFFECTIVENESS

THE MEASURES OF SUCCESS / FAILURE:

* CONSISTENT QUALITY

- ROAD BUILDING UNITS ACHIEVED CONSISTENTLY ACHIEVED QUALITY WORKMANSHIP WITH RELATIVELY UNSKILLED LABOUR

* LOW CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE COST

- MATERIAL COSTS == R200 PER LINEAR METER

- LOW MAINTENANCE ROAD SURFACING

* PRODUCTION RATE

- EACH ROAD BUILDING UNIT (CONSISTING OF 7 STUDENTS & 8 LOCALLY EMPLOYED PEOPLE) HAS PROVEN THAT IT CAN CONSTRUCT UP TO 40 Meters OF FINAL BASE COURSE PER DAY

* SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT

- DEDICATED FUNDING ESSENTIAL

INNOVATION

- UNIQUE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

ROAD BUILDING UNITS HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED AT RELATIVELY LOW COST WITH CAREFULLY DESIGNED TOOLS & EQUIPMENT TO ENSURE A HIGH QUALITY AND CONSISTENT END PRODUCT.

TAILORMADE EQUIPMENT INCLUDE INTERLOCKING SHUTTERING, UNIQUE SIDE DRAIN PROFILES AND VOLUME BATCHING CONTAINERS FOR EASY HANDLING AND MIX DESIGN.

- INNOVATIVE ROAD BUILDINGTECHNIQUES

TECHNIQUES WHICH EFFECTIVELY INCORPORATES WASTE MATERIALS FROM LOCAL INDUSTRIES (SUCH AS ISCOR SLAG AND SASOL ASH) HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AS PART OF THE PROJECT TO REDUCE CONSTRUCTION COSTS

INNOVATION CONTINUED

- UINQUE CROSS SECTION

SIDE DRAIN CROSS SECTION DESIGNED TO SERVE AS EXTENDED ROADWAY, STORMWATER FACILITY & MOUNTABLE CURB

ROADWAY SERVES AS EXTENTION STORMWATER FACILITY IN FLOODING CONDITIONS

EFFECTIVE ROAD WIDTH (INCLUDING SIDE DRAIN) == 5 Meters

SIDE DRAIN CROSS SECTION DESIGNED TO SERVE AS EXTENDED ROADWAY STORMWATER FACILITY & MOUNTABLE CURB
