The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has recently unveiled a pioneering initiative in the form of a ‘Knowledge Sharing’ platform.

This innovative platform, hosted on the NHAI website, aims to facilitate collaboration between experts and citizens who are keen to share their knowledge and insights on various topics related to road design, construction, road safety, environmental sustainability, and other related fields. By encouraging the exchange of best practices from around the world, this platform will play a crucial role in the comprehensive development of the National Highway infrastructure throughout the country.

The best practices can be uploaded on the NHAI web portal https://ksp.nhai.org/kb/ in the form of video clips, power point presentation and .PDF files. The uploaded information on this platform will be reviewed by NHAI officials and will be evaluated for implementation.

With the help of innovation and modern technology, NHAI is developing National Highway infrastructure at a rapid pace. Apart from innovative use of recycled materials such as fly- ash and plastic waste, NHAI is also encouraging use of Recycled Asphalt (RAP) and Recycled Aggregates (RA) in the National Highway construction to promote sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

With the development of State-of-the-art Tunnels, Modern bridges, wildlife corridors and Expressways, it is important for National Highway infrastructure development to have wider participation. The knowledge sharing platform will encourage experts and citizens to share best practices and contribute towards Nation Building.

One noteworthy project undertaken by the NHAI was the implementation of sustainable practices in the construction of National Highways. In this project, NHAI embraced innovative approaches to promote eco-friendly and efficient infrastructure development. One such approach was the utilization of recycled materials, including fly-ash and plastic waste, in the construction process. Additionally, NHAI actively encouraged the use of Recycled Asphalt (RAP) and Recycled Aggregates (RA) to further promote sustainability. By incorporating these practices, NHAI demonstrated its commitment to environmental stewardship and the adoption of modern technologies. The project’s success not only contributed to the development of durable and high-quality highways but also set a positive example for the industry by prioritizing sustainable and responsible construction methods.
