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.

AnyWay Donation Ceremony in Enga- PNG

AnyWay Donation Ceremony in Enga- PNG

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.

Ariel Sharon Park Architects Received a Prestigious Design Award

Broida-Maoz Landscape Architects has received a prestigious design award for their work on the new Ariel Sharon Park in Tel Aviv. In announcing the award, the Nature Parks Authority observed that the design is an excellent example of the restoration of a virgin environment and the re-establishment of natural elements. The Authority further described the design as reviving the natural habitat, while striking a balance with attractive and accessible walking trails for visitors. All of the new park’s walking trails have been designed and constructed using AnyWay’s stabilization techniques and technologies.

AnyWay and its agent in Zimbabwe, Southern Technology Solutions, have begun implementing AnyWay’s solutions in that country. The first project (a landing strip) was recently completed by Bitumen World, one of Zimbabwe’s leading road construction companies. Following the success of that initial application, additional projects are now being reviewed by both government and private companies. View Article

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.

New road network within the new residential area in Addis Ababa

New road network within the new residential area in Addis Ababa

AnyWay is continuing its work with the Addis Ababa City Roads Authority (AACRA). Currently they are working on the road network within the new residential area of Ayat Zone 5, in the northern part of the city. Five kilometers of the neighbourhood’s roads will be upgraded and surfaced with cobblestone. This project forms part of the Addis Ababa City Administration’s master plan for developing a network of durable, high quality roads for the new residential areas being constructed throughout the city. More than 300,000 new residential units have been constructed in recent years by the Ethiopian Government in Addis Ababa alone. Many of the roads supporting these new communities have incorporated the solutions of AnyWay working closely with AACRA personnel. At an event to celebrate the opening of the project, Israel’s Ambassador to Ethiopia noted that the successes achieved by AnyWay and AACRA in their many years of working together are testament to the strong and enduring relationship between the two countries. Representatives of the Addis Ababa City Administration praised the high quality of AnyWay’s work, and confirmed their intentions to further expand the range of projects to be completed with AnyWay in the coming years. watch the news on Addis Ababa TV

AESS is dedicated to providing optimal solutions for its clients throughout the Philippines.

Time, Money and the Environment – Reducing the Costs of a Road Project

Time, Money and the Environment – Reducing the Costs of a Road Project

Road construction has evolved considerably in recent years and today more options are available, offering greater longevity and durability, lowered costs, faster application and reduced impact on the environment. The fact that more options are available, however, means that more critical decisions must be made in order to ensure that the optimal solution is selected for the specific needs of each project. In this article, we will look at some of the variables that should be considered, while examining the various solutions available in the market.
