NATIONAL HIGHWAY PRE-CAST CONCRETE POLICY

April 20, 2022

To harness the benefits of pre-fabrication in construction of National Highways, Expressways & Other Centrally Sponsored Road Projects, MORT&H has made mandatory to use factory manufactured pre-cast concrete elements in projects within 100 km radius of Pre-cast factory.

About:

  • The minimum mandatory usage should be 25% of total concrete volume other than the foundations & sub-structures of Bridges/Viaduct/RoB.

  • Industrialised Pre-cast Concrete has the benefits of all-weather and fast construction, reliable quality & enhanced performance durability, aesthetics due to uniformity in appearance and reduced carbon emission/reduced noise & air pollution due to reduced construction activities at site, etc.

  • To add to that, it will also play an integral role in accelerating the growth of the MSME sector.
