Project

Client: DfID

The overall objective of the project was to construct a number of access roads using appropriate pavement materials in order to develop access benefits for local communities. The project introduced trials on a selection of rural road pavement and surfacing options, specifically involving local-resource solutions and community participation.

Roughton was appointed to provide the following services in two provinces with trial road pavements and surfacing:

• Design using the Environmentally Optimised Design (EOD) approach
• Procurement assistance
• Construction supervision

In addition:

• Appraisal of environmental and social impact considerations (including resettlement and community participation)
• Advising on post-project maintenance
• Establishing monitoring and evaluation of trial sections

• Environmentally optimised design
• International development
• Rural accessibility
