For the ignorant fellows to learn; and the public not be deceived;

In high way engineering, PAVEMENT can best be described as load bearing and load distributory component of a road.
We have two types of pavement design and construction methods;
a) RIGID PAVEMENT :- (Hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements)
b) FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT: - (Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements)

Our concentration in this text is centered on FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT due to the wide application of that type of road construction in this part of the world.

What is FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT?

Flexible pavements are those which are surfaced with bituminous (or asphalt) materials. These types of pavements are called “flexible” due to her structural components and the total pavement structure “bends” or “deflects” due to high elasticity.

The flexible pavement consists of the following components;
1) Natural formation
2) Formation level
3) Sub base
4) Base course
5) Surface course
6) Surface dressing.

Setting the records straight

There is a picture being circulated by some misguided fellows with a sole aim to deceive the unsuspecting public. In the said picture, they wanted Ndi Imo to believe that the government through her contractor was seen painting an already constructed road to appear new for commissioning by PMB.
The narrative was not only laughable but it further exposed the level of ignorance and cheer dumbness on the side of the purveyors of the fake and unfounded story.

To educate them further, what you saw the contractor of the said road doing is called COLAS ‘A’ EMULSION SPRAYING.

It is usually sprayed on the SURFACE COURSE (BINDING COURSE) it is also known as surface dressing which is usually done on the already laid SURFACE COURSE (BINDING COURSE) to improve on the binding powers of the both layers.
The major purpose of this exercise is to the courses attain the maximal binding force between the two layers and to prevent sheath erosion from watching off the SURFACE DRESSING (WEARING COURSE) because it forms a stronger binder between the two courses. It also aides in increasing the longevity of the pavement where it was applied before laying the wearing course. The use of the emulsion as an additive to improve a binding force of asphalts is among the global best practice in road construction today.

I am not surprised that the Opposition elements couldn’t fathom the reason behind the process because all the roads built when they held sway was all substandard which could not outlive their administration and their ignorance further exposed them the more before Ndi Imo because their inability to identify and understand what the contractor was tells more of the type of job they did on our roads which simply means that some very important processes was boycotted.

Finally, you don’t engage in blackmails in other to discredit the government but like I’ve always said, engage the government with some constructive criticisms and also pose as an alternative to the government before the governed.

all this because one of the useless president is coming to imo state. I'm telling you he will cancel it he will send Osinbajo buhari can never visit IMO state

I don see something

That’s how they deceive themselves now, they didn’t paint the road until Buharis coming. Wayo people

This is bad. Deceiver!
