June 21, 2023: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched a knowledge-sharing platform for sharing of knowledge and innovative best practices. Hosted on the NHAI website, this initiative will help the authority to collaborate with experts and citizens who want to share knowledge and insights related to topics such as road design, construction, road safety, environment sustainability and related fields.
The platform would encourage sharing of best practices from around the world and will contribute towards holistic development of national highway infrastructure in the country, the road and highways ministry said in a statement.
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 the NHAI officials and will be evaluated for implementation.
“With the help of innovation and modern technology, the NHAI is developing national highway infrastructure at a rapid pace. Apart from innovative use of recycled materials such as fly-ash and plastic waste, the NHAI is also encouraging use of recycled asphalt (RAP) and recycled aggregates (RA) in construction to promote sustainable and eco-friendly practices,” it said.
With the development of the state-of-the-art tunnels, modern bridges, wildlife corridors and expressways, it is important for the national highway infrastructure development to have wider participation, it added.
