Two-day National Conference-cum-exhibition on “Revolutionising road infra with modern equipment, technologies, sustainable material and policy guidelines” to begin from February 29, 2024
About 450 eminent experts from across the world to participate in the conference with focus on efficient and sustainable road infrastructure
New Delhi : International Road Federation (IRF) global road safety body working for better and safer roads worldwide is organizing a Two-day conference and exhibition “Revolutionizing road infra with modern equipment, technologies, sustainable material and policy guidelines” to begin in Delhi from February 29- March 1, 2024
About 450 Eminent engineering and road safety experts will be taking part in the Two day conference to discuss latest technologies and designs of road construction across the world. The aim is to discuss the technologies that are best and sustainable along with safety of vehicles on roads will also be discussed.
“The participating experts are expected to present papers on promoting environment-friendly technologies and materials in road construction. The need for efficient and sustainable road infrastructure has become more crucial than ever in the present day. The demand for well-designed and well-maintained roads has increased tremendously. To meet the rapidly growing population & expanding urbanization, it is imperative to revolutionize road infrastructure development by incorporating modern equipment, cutting-edge technologies, sustainable materials, and comprehensive policy guidelines.” Said Mr K K Kapila, President Emeritus, International Road Federation (IRF) .
“Traditional methods of road construction and maintenance are often time-consuming, labour-intensive, and prone to producing low quality. By embracing advanced machinery and tools, such as automated pavers, intelligent compaction systems, and robotic surveying devices, we can significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of road construction processes.” Said Mr Kapila.
“The integration of cutting-edge technologies is essential in revolutionizing road infrastructure. Technologies like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), and AI can provide planning, implementation and management of real-time data and insights, enabling better planning, design, and maintenance of roads.Traditional road construction materials, such as asphalt, have significant environmental impacts due to their high carbon footprint and non-renewable nature. The sustainable alternatives like recycled materials, bio-based binders, and permeable pavements, can not only contribute to a greener future but also provide cost-effective solutions in the long run.” Said Mr Lt Gen Harpal Singh (retd) President , IRF-India chapter .
“Some of the subjects that will be discussed during the Two-day meet will include Sustainable technologies and innovation in infra development, innovative and intelligent construction equipment, sustainable construction materials, innovative technologies in road safety and sustainable technologies in bridges .” said Mr Akhilesh Srivastva, Executive Vice-president , IRF-India chapter .
About 20 road infrastructure related construction companies will be participating and showcasing Some of this equipment including motor graders, road rollers, asphalt mixing plant, forklift trucks, crawler excavators, cranes, wheel loaders, etc.
