Million dollars worth of INDIAN ROADS

MILLION DOLLAR WORTH OF INDIAN ROADS

Procedure for making UTWT roads was standardized and is as follows
Concrete road is measure of development.Nation having more numbers of concrete roads is considered as developed nation.concrete roads are durable but though it is not possible to built the concrete roads.It is not possible for financialy poor countries like India to built the concrete roads.In India BM roads are built because these roads are cheaper.Though BM roads are cheaper they are not durable hence cracks causing potholes.and filling of these potholes is labourious ,time consuming and expensive.
We all know the importance of good roads therefor Indian road congress and road related research institutions have started making durable roads
It is not possible to forget Dr Vilas Deshmukh name when we talk on Thane city roads.In order to construct the non usable roads usable ,He has prepared high performance concrete and pour it on bad road.In order to make the concrete to flow he has used self compacting concrete.Because of HPC and SCC the quality of the concrete improved significantly.As a result we can make durable concrete at reduced time.
E-Marg means thin layer of HPC concrete and e-Path means pourous layer of bitumenous macadam on the damaged road and put cement slurry in the pours of bitumemous layer.The cement slury will percolate and fill all the pores 
Dr.DESHMUKH because of his two new techniques could built e Path about 100 KILO METERS in Surat city and e-marg 250km in thane cityBecause of these roads there is significant improvement in infrastructure,education,jobs etc in both the municipalities and as  a result these cities are included in"Future Smart city"
These two techniques of Dr.Deshmukh has been endorsed by the codal committee of Indian road congress .The data and experiance has been used to revise the code IRC-SP-76 2015 and make new code for e-path.Dr.Deshmukh contribution is immence in making these two codes.
E-Marg is IRC SP 76 2015 (Ultra thin white topping and e-path is on pipe line which will be identified as cement grouted bitumene macadam.( CGBM)
Dr.Deshmkh in Thane Municipal corporation laid e-marg on experimental  basis in the year 2007.In this development he made early strength gain concrete as a result traffic can be opened in three days. and because of SCC the road making became faster.
2007  First time e-Marg
First use of HPC
First use of SCC
2003 first time  E-Path
first high strength grot
Anybody or organisation can make these roads with the help of Dr.Deshmukh.This shows dr.deshmukh immence contribution in Indian roads.
Dr.Deshmukh has also done cost benifit study of these two roads.He found e-marg is cheaper than conventional concrete and E-Path almost same cost of BM roads.Using these techniques e-marg and e-path we can help GOVT to achieve target of making roads in a day.
Expenses to built one kilometer of road using  e.M,arg and e-path and compared with conventional concrete.
Because of the use of these roads e-marg and e-path We can save substantial amount of money .
Use of flyash in concrete.which can help to sum extent help in reducing the global worming.
conservation of raw bmaterials like lime stone required for making  cement
Dr.Deshmukh is a product of Mumbai university.He has retired from ACC Ltd.He has 40 years of experiance in road making.He has fifteen research papers on his name.
These roads are not only popular in Thane and surat cities but also popular in TATA group of industries.Mr.Bongirwar retired secretary PWD and my self approach Mr.Naik and Mr.Bhonsale.We laid e-Marg using concrete with 50% tata flyash.at office of chembur and road at khopoly..
After study of performance of the road,cost of the road and use of around 50% of their waste produ;ct TATA management has decided to make roads of TATA group of industries and coloneys using E-MARG AND E-PATH.
The management has also decided to make these roads to adjacent villages of TATA chemicals under the scheme of "corporate responsibility scheme"
THIS WILL RESULT IN TO Swacha bharat and pragat bharat"
Total benifit to the nation because of e-Marg and e-Path 
1) at cheaper cost durable and good quality roads

FOR COMPLETION OF TEN YEARS OF  UTWT roads in Thane city

Thane Municipal Corporation with  Material scientist Dr. Deshmukh laid UTWT(Ultra thin white topping) road at Ghantali Thane in the year 2007.The surface of the road is with out any pothole even at year 2016.

At 2007 the roads of Thane city were very  bad.It was a state of chaos .Most of the city roads are of Bituminous macadam.The city is known for Industries in and around the city. load on the roads have increased many fold but the quality of the roads remain the same due to which the roads cracked.Politicians, Engineers and social activist were looking for alternate solution for BM roads.

The same year my proposal of UTWT topping on the potholed road was rejected by the Municipal Corporation on the pretext that the technology is not  proven and tested on Thane roads and therefore it will be waste of time and money. 

After sixty six years of independence we are still having such a  low self esteem.

It is always said that   Luck favors the braves

Mr. Vilas Samant came to my help.He  wrote an article in news paper Times of India saying Dr. Deshmukh  residence of Thane claiming that he has UTWT technology which can drastically improve the life of the road should be given an opportunity to experiment his new ideas which can enhance the life of existing roads. Finally TMC on media pressure has agreed and allowed Dr. Deshmukh to conduct the trail on condition that experiments to be conducted in Mr Samant ward and the  expenses to be  born by Mr Samant from his fund which Mr Samant has agreed

The mind set of the TMC engineers in 2007 were very much negative According to them the concrete roads are costly and takes longer time for construction.The thickness required is 300 mm and takes at least a month to complete the job.Every body local people,Corporators. engineers were fed up with Bitumen macadam roads.

The situation was ideal for Dr. Deshmukh to carry out something never done before in Thane  Mean while Dr. Deshmukh has studied and made in the laboratory concrete of M-60 grade by manipulating the raw mix  design.He has developed HPC high performance concrete with less quantity of cement and incorporation of mineral additives like GGBS and flyash.

India needs power for industrial growth In our country most of the power is generated by burning the coal in thermal power plant emitting large amount of flyash which pollutes surrounding area,crops and health of the locals.Dr,Deshmukh can able to make M-60 grade concrete using 360-380 kg/M3 of cement and mineral additive like flyash. He has first time used self compacting concrete in road making as a result the speed of making concrete roads has increased. Dr. Deshmukh laid UTWT road first in Thane in the year 2007. HPC (High performance concrete) and SCC  (Self compacted concrete) is used. 

scc concrete when  brought at sight and poured it on damaged  bituminous roads. there was a joy  on every bandies face of first time witnessing flow able concrete but a daut in mind of strength gain because of high W/C ratio which is not the case The flowable concrete is achieved by polymer base admixture  and not by water 

The another high light of the technology is curing/cutting of the concrete ,The concrete is cut at 1 meter by 1 meter.The width  of the cutting blade should be 3mm because of which the sealant is not required.The curing of the concrete to be carried out immediately after concrete is laid. The performance of the road was excellent as a result TMC has taken a decision to make city roads with this technology

1)Mill 25-50mm top surface of the damaged bituminous road .Remove all the loose material If there  is any structural damage remove that portion and replace with new materials

2)After removing the loose particles saturate the surface with water

3)Fix the metal Chanel of required height most of the time 100mm or 150mm. Maintain the slope and the level.

4)Bring the concrete from near RMC plant.level the concrete with screed vibrator

5)Curing with water should be started immediately

6)Cut the joints 1meter by 1meter.

The road is ready for traffic in 72 hours.Thane 

Municipal Corporation has taken the decision to do the city roads with UTWT only.Last 10 years UTWT roads are laid in thane city.The traffic scenario of the city has changed and it is growing with speed.

Government has passed GR to lay concrete roads.Privated organisations like ACC and Gurath  Ambuja has also involed in road research..

Dr,Deshmukh has named the roads of thane and surat as E-mARG AND E-Path.
As per Indian road concrete

2016 The road is with out potholes.


First time in India  Dr.Deshmukh has used e-path in surat city.

2) Becase of faster toad making ,help in achieving GOVT target of making a kilometer of roads daily 
3) conservation of raw materials
4)GOVT S aim to built roads across india will be fulfilled
