India’s first Six Lane Steel Slag based Road has been constructed.
India’s first Six Lane Steel Slag based Road Connecting NH-6 to Hazira Port has been constructed.
Steel Slag is produced as a solid waste during steel production. Around 180 – 200 kg of steel slag is generated on per tonne of steel production.
Ministry of Steel has funded a R&D project on “Development of Design Guidelines and Specifications for utilization of steel slag in road construction”.
Under this R&D project, India’s first six-lane steel slag based road connecting National Highway-6 to Hazira Port was constructed at Surat Hazira in May, 2022.
Under this scheme, processed steel slag is used as a substitute for the natural component in all layers of bituminous pavement.
The draft guidelines for construction of steel slag based roads have been prepared by CSIR-CRRI.
