AnyWay is expanding its work in the ADB financed project in PNG (SHHIP)

AnyWay is expanding its involvement in the Asian Development Bank’s Sustainable Highlands Highway Investment Program (SHHIP) in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The SHHIP aims to enhance the economic development of the highlands region in which 40% of the PNG population lives. The Highlands Highway extends 1,200 km and serves as a lifeline for the 7 landlocked provinces along its route. Work has commenced on tranche one of the SHHIP, with AnyWay supplying its stabilization solutions for upgrading the pavement structure on an initial section of 30 km to China Wu Yi construction company, one of three project contractors . Similar work is expected to start shortly with the other two project contractors, Metallurgical Construction Company (MCC) and China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC). The highway sections included in tranche one comprise 100 km of the total 170 km to be upgraded and rehabilitated in the SHHIP.

Bougainville people deserve nothing less than that!

The first phase of a 100 km project on Bougainville was completed towards the end of 2019. The first two sections, both 10 Km in length, were rehabilitated and upgraded through stabilization to sealed roads. Two construction companies have been engaged for the work by the Department of Works & implementation: Dekenai and COVEC. Both companies have been working closely with AnyWay’s engineers through the rehabilitation process and have achieved excellent results. These achievements caught the attention of the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Mr. James Marape., During a recent visit to Bougainville, he noted that this project is a true demonstration of the quality of roads the government is building in PNG, and that the Bougainville people deserve nothing less than that. The project continues with additional sections of the road having now been granted to the same two construction companies.

First AnyWay Roads in Accra, Ghana

AnyWay has constructed and sealed its first roads in Accra. The rehabilitation and upgrade of about 10 Km of roads in two areas of the capital, South LA and Communities 18 & 20, started late in 2019. In keeping with our model for sharing our technical experience and know-how as broadly as possible, AnyWay engaged a local sub-contractor, Core Construction, to work with it on the project. The project includes the implementation of AnyWay’s stabilization solutions for the rehabilitation and upgrade of urban roads. The Ministry of Roads and Highways is working the AnyWay and its local representative, African Bagg, to expand the use of AnyWay’s solutions for infrastructure rehabilitation and upgrading through stabilization to additional projects in other parts of the country.

AnyWay, in collaboration with the Roads Department of Nairobi City County

AnyWay, in collaboration with the Roads Department of Nairobi City County, completed the design and supervision of the city’s first rehabilitation project incorporating our solutions. The construction company, Quantier Frontier Technologies ltd, completed the work using AnyWay’s engineering design. The Governor of NCC, in a video published on social media, said: “…Nariobians, we promised to deliver we have done so, this road it not Upper market Runda or Lavington, but Kawangware, our people can now walk and drive in a tarmac”.”. This project offered a tremendous demonstration of the opportunities created by the NCC Government’s initiative for building capacity among Nairobi women in the infrastructure sector. The owner of the construction company, Mrs. Veronica Wambui took the leading role in constructing the works. The engineers of AnyWay worked closely with the Roads Department and the staff of Materials branch,to ensure that skills, knowledge and know-how of the AnyWay techniques were efficiently transferred. In Place Recycling (IPR) comprised an integral part of the project design, and the broader use of IPR in such works is a key goal of both AnyWay and the NCC Government. The project marks the first of several that the NCC government has planned for the coming months.

2018 marks the seventh year of AnyWay’s working relationship with Enga Province in Papua New Guinea. During that time, AnyWay, the Province and the federal Department of Works have collaborated to dramatically improve road infrastructure in the province. The Highlands Highway which forms a vital transportation link between the region and the port of Lae, has been transformed from a dangerous obstacle to local development into a reliable, modern highway. Over the years we have worked together, AnyWay’s personnel has been consistently treated with warmth and generosity by the people of Enga, to the extent that we now consider ourselves to be a part of the Enga family. In gratitude for the kindness shown to us by the people of the province, AnyWay wished to make a gift to the people of something that would improve conditions for all who live there. In October of 2018, AnyWay was pleased to unveil five solar-powered vaccine refrigerators, donated by AnyWay to assist the province in continuing its vital anti-polio campaign.

Road tech paying off

Road tech paying off

By LUKE KAMA
ROAD stabilisation technology which the Works Department incorporated as a requirement of its standards in 2015 is slowly paying off for PNG, Works Secretary David Wereh says.

“The problem we have had over the past years was that we built roads and after one or two years or even few months, we see potholes popping up,” he said. “These have cost the government a lot of money in terms of maintenance when money should be spent on building new roads.”

Wereh said the issue was with road design standards and he took the initiative to have road stabilisation technology as a standard requirement for the country and in 2015.
It was successfully incorporated as a standard requirement for all road contractors to comply with.

“Since then, the roads that were built in the country tended to stand the test of time compared with those that were built previously,” Wereh said. “If you look at the roads from Togoba to Wabag and from Walum to Yalo, they are built using road stabilisation technology and after almost five years of construction, you can hardly find a single pothole on these stabilised roads. This also applies to the four-lane Lae city roads. They were stabilised using asphalt and you can hardly find a single pothole on these roads in the waterlogged city.”

Wereh said any future road construction would take on board the standard requirement and it also came with costs but the benefits far outweighed the costs.
