How economic friendly is concrete road

Can last on heavy duty?
Is it cheaper than tarred road?

Just for d cameras.my tots though

OGACLO:
That is wwhat u get with an Engr as the Governor, we need more of them.

But I thought they said aregbesola is an engineer,I have never seen him inspect a site as thoroughly

advantages of concrete based roads:

Areas paved with asphalt require more maintenance than those paved with
concrete. As a result, there is less need for repair crews to handle maintenance
of concrete streets and parking lots. This means less congestion and disruption
to work areas, and less danger to road crews and drivers alike.
Rigid concrete is also more durable than asphalt. This means that streets
paved with concrete are less likely to have potholes. The surface of concrete is
also better at preventing automobile skidding, keeping drivers and their families
safe.

also, Concrete pavement's life can range anywhere from 20-40 years. But when you
factor in annual maintenance, asphalt pavement can cost four to seven times as
much money to maintain. This saves you long-term on repair and maintenance.

na spara in doe

Ok.

Spara in doe isn't too far from presco...N50 keke. and a similar work (fly over) is going on in presco, and Enugu abikiliki road. The man is really working.

I AM NOT AN ENGINEER OOO ... But when they were changing BRT lanes to concrete the rods looked fatter. And interwoven , this one looks like kitchen net iron lol , hope they doing a professional job sha m

ANYWAY. I don't believe roads are what any Nigerian state really needs now , we need industries ! Where are the industries
.
I constructed roads shouldn't be an achivemenf in Nigeria 16+ years of democracy

Provided it is done by the right ppl with the right materials and right mixtures. Concrete roads are the best. Dangote once advocated for this during obj tenure. There is one concrete road in Ghana constructed by nkruma in the 60s and up till today it is still there very strong and durable

That is what you get when you have a civil engineer as governor. You must do his projects to meet his taste

erico2k2:

Stupidity of the highest order.no wonder contractors never finish projects and take us 4 a ride.where is your PPE Mr Governor?

Mr man stop being a hater! his PPE can not do every thing for him,beside Dave is an engineer( a civil engineer for that matter) and his PPE may not be an engineer..so he is the right person to do it..
God bless you

You are beautiful

And this governor think that yeye wire mesh will hold that concrete for long? Some engy. Governor.
Make tiper ply that road for one week.

SoNature:

You are beautiful

Thanks

This man has proved his critics wrong. He is indeed one of the best performing governors in the country now. I have seen with my eyes. May God continue to strengthen him and give him more wisdom.

That is my governor kip it up thumbs up

lookandlaff:
is that a road or a pavement? if it is a road he should be more concerned about the thickness of the steel reinforcements

Good observation.. I also think it would have been better using concrete interlocking tiles than continuous pour like this.
Anyway both methods are better and cost effective than the asphalt types since most of the coal tars are currently imported

asdfjklhaha:

Thanks

Fine girl

we import coal tar too? na wah o a country with vast bitumen deposits?

This concrete roads hmmm dem no go last.... Waste of iron.... And ironbending....

Goahead:
That's my governor

Nwa Abakaliki

Dijaga:
APC governors are not doing good at all....JUST A FEW..

@mumu you. Amosun na labour party abi?, otiyilori bruh

Oga Erico, Eng Dave Umahi is not using any contractors rather he uses direct labour, there's nothing like warding any project to any contractors in Ebonyi state. If he says this road will be constructed or rehabilitate today or tomorrow as earlier as 8pm that work will start immediately.
Ebonyi has been transformed before our very eyes, I'm only waiting for him to complete most of the heavy projects like flyovers, pedestrian crossing and many more before I will surprise the whole Nigerians.
Please Ebonyians in this forum living in Ebonyi state should start taking pictures of the good works going on in the state.

lol!
whats d difference btw a road and a pavement?
for ur notice there are 3types of pavements
1 rigid pavemet(which is d road above)
2 flexible pavement...normal asphalt road
3 hybrid pavement.which a combination of 1&2
finally for rigid pavements,considering live loads(axle load),there is virtually no need for "the thick rods" u mentioned,what is important is d grade of d concrete and fo d base material meets at least 70 to 90 percent of d "cbr" value,which ofcos it should.

Orjioorji:
south east governors executing projects even with the little the bias federal govt give them, while those who collect large money because of infiltrated population figure have nothing to show for it.

little?...google and paste how much they collect especially oil producing regions

ok sir i bow to your superior knowledge

Alawe:
O boy! this road is strong O! see pavement.

It is strong? And you know this how? Let us talk as if we went to school. Strength can actually be measured as in the minimum amount of force per unit area required to break the concrete . It is not a matter of "see pavement" in villager marvel mode. So if we say the road is strong we can actually give a measurement in PSI or MPA units

Can you please tell us when concrete needs to be reinforced with steel

I dont think so guy because I read somewhere where umahi complained about slow pace of work on the nkalagu rd(road that leads to the cement factory) which is actually a federal rd..from the article he was rebuking a Chinese company..i dont think a Chinese company in ebonyi is direct labour

Dave has done very well within 9months in office,any in ebonyi can attest to this, l went to abakaliki and was like woow
of he continues like this for 8yrs ebonyi will not doubt be the talk of every town
l pray God continue to endow him with wisdom
