The implementation of a large-scale project to build the Dyurtyuli-Achit highway, which will be part of the federal highway M-12 “Vostok”, is ongoing. To date, 2.7 million tons of asphalt concrete have been laid on all three stages of the highway, which runs through the territories of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Perm Krai and Sverdlovsk Oblast. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“When implementing infrastructure projects, it is especially important to use high-quality construction materials. This is the basis of reliability and durability. This is especially relevant for transport facilities, on which the comfort and safety of Russians’ travel over short and long distances directly depends. In order to extend the federal highway M-12 “Vostok”, a new section is being built from the city of Dyurtyuli to the village of Achit, where all asphalt concrete compositions undergo thorough testing. Then, test paving is carried out on experimental sections to assess the quality of the road surface. In total, more than 3.5 million tons of asphalt concrete mixture will be used to install the upper base layer, as well as the upper and lower layers of the road surface along the entire Dyurtyuli – Achit highway. To date, 2.7 million tons have already been laid on all three stages of the highway,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that each layer of asphalt concrete pavement has its own composition depending on its purpose and expected load. In addition, due to the placement of testing laboratories directly at the site of work, operational control over the compliance of materials with the necessary requirements is ensured.
According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, the asphalt concrete mixture is selected directly taking into account the conditions of its operation.
“The special feature of the asphalt concrete used in the construction of the Dyurtyuli-Achit highway is its resistance to rutting, fatigue failure, cracks, and water resistance. The produced asphalt concrete undergoes laboratory tests, where the grain composition, binder content, and volumetric characteristics are assessed. Quality control is not limited to the production stage. Asphalt concrete samples are also taken directly on experimental sections. This is important for obtaining high-quality performance characteristics of the coating,” noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.
