Resource availability for road works and the quality of materials used are among the key points in the implementation of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”. Today, over 900 asphalt concrete plants are operating in 84 subjects of the country – participants of the national project, involved in its activities. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“We have an ambitious task – by 2030, at least 85% of federal and at least 60% of regional highways should be in a standard condition. Of course, the effectiveness of the implementation of the national project “Infrastructure for Life” directly depends on the quality of materials and work performed, so in anticipation of the new road season, enterprises are checking the serviceability of equipment at asphalt concrete plants and laboratories. This year, 923 asphalt concrete plants will be used in the participating regions for the purposes of the national project,” said Marat Khusnullin.
Today, road enterprises are actively implementing innovative technologies, including automated component dosing systems, modified bitumen binders, and others. In 2019, a register of new and best technologies, materials, and technological solutions for reuse was created. To date, it contains 417 types of materials, 67 technologies, 85 designs, and 99 production facilities. In 2024 alone, new technologies and materials from the register were used at 2,133 sites.
Inspection of asphalt concrete plants is the most important stage of preparation for the upcoming season. Early de-preservation of equipment after the cold period and its careful preparation will help to avoid breakdowns, downtime and additional costs at the height of the road season.
“Commissioning work is currently underway, specialists are also checking the availability of inert materials, technical documentation, and assessing the equipment of laboratories. Thanks to timely contracts, contractors can competently plan the schedule for entering the facilities, this entire set of preparatory measures will allow work to begin immediately upon the onset of favorable weather conditions,” said Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.
For example, in the Voronezh region in 2025, according to the national project, it is planned to renew about 200 km of regional and inter-municipal roads. For these purposes, 28 asphalt concrete plants will be launched.
Active preparation for the road construction season is also underway in the Lipetsk Region. This year, the region plans to bring more than 200 km of regional and inter-municipal road network, as well as 9 artificial structures, into compliance with the national project.
From the beginning of April, 8 asphalt concrete plants will start working, including the plant in the village of Koptsevy Khutor. Last year, 220 thousand tons of mixture were produced here for the repair of more than 140 km of regional roads.
In the Belgorod region, only under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” in the region, they plan to bring 59 road facilities with a length of 157.5 km, as well as 10 artificial structures, into regulatory condition. The required volume of asphalt concrete mixtures for the road industry of the Belgorod region will be provided by 34 asphalt concrete plants, 18 of which will be used directly for the national project facilities.
In the Saratov region, about 200 km of roads will be repaired this year under the national project, including sections of the street and road network in Saratov and Engels. To achieve these goals, 19 asphalt concrete plants will be involved. Before launching, all road enterprises in the region debug technological parameters, test system integration, conduct personnel training and, of course, undergo a number of mandatory checks.
