Road Quality Consultancy
Road quality indirectly affects the cost of maintenance as well as operation efficiency. The need to frequently repair roads will result in losses due to traffic congestion.

CPG Labs is able to provide consultancy on the quality of existing roads and formulate plans to ensure that roads live to their expected lifespan and beyond. With proper pavement management plans, we are able to systematically track and address pavement conditions at the network level. It enables us to track distress as well as to provide maintenance and rehabilitation across an entire pavement network.





Transportation & Highway
Types of roads to be constructed and their capacity and the materials used are important in pavement design. Proper analysis of transportation modes and their route along a highway network can help a planner decide on the quality of roads to design and build.

CPG Labs provides traffic and highway analysis and is able to recommend specifications for the construction of roads and highways. We also provide material analysis to assess properties of materials like reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) to determine its relevance in pavement construction.

We also provide consultancy on pavement rehabilitation.





Subgrade Stabilisation
Ruts along roads, which eventually lead to road failure, are usually caused by local failure of the subgrade. This is due to the loading of the road exceeding the bearing capacity of the subgrade. Reducing subgrade failure will thus reduce rut development. The principle behind reducing local subgrade failure is to improve the load distribution along the road thus reducing the stress taken by the subgrade. Such a process is known as subgrade stabilisation.

Increasing the sub-base of the pavement traditionally stabilises the subgrade. This process however can be expensive as good fill materials are scarce. Other materials and techniques have been developed as an alternative to the traditional solution. The pavement section of our technology division provides experts who are able to determine the right material and methods for subgrade stabilisation.
