Find Durable and Reliable Road Construction Equipment at Kanu Equipment

Road construction is on the rise in Africa and projects can only be spurred on and completed according to schedule by construction teams making use of the right road construction equipment. It is vitally important that for the safety and the longevity of equipment, the right units are purchased for the project or task at hand. Also, all road construction machinery and equipment must be well maintained and regularly serviced, in order to avoid potential injury or death during operation.

 

Creating a smooth and safe road surface is not something that requires little effort. A great deal of planning and heavy duty labour goes into the process. The construction of various roads and highways is carried out in 3 phases or stages as follows:

• Earth moving or rough grading.
• Sub grade preparation and fine grading.
• Surfacing, which often includes concrete, gravel or asphalt. Sometimes even a combination of these.

After these processes are carried out, compaction must be done. This helps to prolong the road structure and its lifespan. While it might seem like the road construction equipment does all of the work, this is not true. Heavy duty equipment operators must be trained and skilled in handling the equipment for the best possible end result.
