At the JSW Steel Dolvi factory in Raigad, the construction process involved turning about 80,000 tons of CONARC Steel slag into processed steel slag aggregates.
The first part of the National Highway Steel Slag Road in India, which connects Mumbai and Goa via NH-66, was officially opened on Saturday, marking a noteworthy milestone. By transforming trash from the steel industry into a useful resource for constructing sturdy and environmentally beneficial national roadways, the highway represents a turning point in sustainable road construction technology.
Transformative Steel Slag Road Technology from CSIR-CRRI: Efficiency and Economy
Turning waste from the steel industry into money is made possible in large part by the CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI) and their innovative Steel Slag Road Technology. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) uses this technology to build safer and greener national highways throughout the nation.
