Climate Resiliency in Pavement Design Presented at 10th IRF Caribbean Regional Congress in Barbados

Eng. Alex Campbell, AnyWay’s Director of Engineering Solutions, was a presenter at the 10th IRF Caribbean Road Congress in Barbados in June of 2022. Eng. Campbell spoke to more than 150 delegates on how climate change is impacting the way roads are designed, constructed and used globally. Developing Island Nations (DIN’s), such as those found throughout the Caribbean and Australasia, are disproportionately impacted by rising water levels, more frequent storm events and storm events of increased magnitude. Case studies from projects in Papua New Guinea were presented, where AnyWay’s engineering approach to rehabilitating distressed pavements includes improvements to drainage and strengthening the road pavement structures as a means of enhancing climate resiliency for the future. AnyWay’s approach to rehabilitating and upgrading failed or structurally weakened roads through recycling and stabilization was well received by the delegates at the event. It was widely discussed and recognized as ideally suited to Caribbean and other DIN’s.
