Prestressed Precast Concrete Pavement (PPCP)TM
PPCP Technology can help build roads of good quality, which are highly durable, can be built quickly, and do not require extensive maintenance.

The construction industry is primarily concerned with two issues: construction quality control and the speed with which any construction or project is completed. This is especially important for road projects, which are spread out over many kilometers and must maintain both quality and speed.
Road congestion causes a 2-3% GDP loss in India due to slow road construction. Bituminous roads and concrete roads are the two most common types of roads being built. While bituminous roads can be built quickly, their design life is only 10 years, and they require frequent maintenance. Concrete roads, on the other hand, take a long time to build but have a design life of 30 years and require little maintenance. A significant amount of traffic disruption is expected in both cases. It is necessary to develop a new type of road construction that has a long life, can be built quickly, and does not require extensive maintenance. This is possible with to Prestressed Precast Concrete Pavement (PPCP) Technology.
