Kazakhstan tests new materials for road construction

Kazakhstan will test 79 new materials for road construction. They have already successfully passed laboratory tests, and will now be used on various highway sections across the country. This will allow specialists to determine which technologies and compositions can be applied in real conditions during operation. This approach will not only improve the quality of road construction but also support the development of an effective system for selecting innovative solutions. All tests are being conducted through the RCMbase digital platform - Kazakhstan’s unified database of road construction materials, technologies, laboratories, and production facilities.

«We currently have 153 new technologies and materials in the database. Of these, 41 have received green status, meaning they are already in full implementation. This includes bitumen modification, soil stabilization, and various technological processes, all of which are documented with process maps,» said Yerik Amirbayev, Vice President of the Kazakhstan Road Research Institute.
