Union minister Nitin Gadkari has said that the country's National Highways are its national assets and adoption of automated and intelligent machine-aided construction is a step in the right direction. He said automated and intelligent machine-aided construction offers various benefits during the construction of National Highway corridors.
The minister said these include automatic machine-guided construction, repository of digitised construction data that can be used for digital twin applications, real-time documentation, high adherence to design specifications, time efficient and reduces wastage, time-bound construction without compromising quality of construction.
He noted that NHAI is successfully implementing pilot project of AIMC on the Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway, wherein automated and intelligent machines such as GPS-aided motor grader, intelligent compactor and stringless paver have been used. Based on evaluation of efficacy of AIMC demonstrated in this project, along with feedback from the project stakeholders and considering the international guidelines/ specifications, NHAI will undertake adoption of AIMC for the construction of a few more greenfield expressways/ access-controlled corridor projects.
