CSIR-CRRI Pioneers World's Latest Steel Road Technology
Recently, the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI) developed a cutting-edge Steel Road technology that enables the large-scale utilization of waste steel slag from steel plants in road construction.
Key Points
- Utilizing Industrial Waste: The technology involves utilizing waste steel slag, which is composed of impurities removed during the steel-making process in most steel plants, as a crucial component in road building.
- Surat sets an Example: In June 2022, Surat, Gujarat, became the first city in India to have a road constructed using processed steel slag as part of a joint-venture project, showcasing the effectiveness and feasibility ....
