I really think these kind of videos should be showed in schools, colleges every other weekend to aware students about such sustainable ideas to aware them. This will shape their thinking and make them responsible citizens early on. Government efforts and educational entities together can change the society, but efforts need from all hands and not just one. Let's make this society more sustainable and better for our present and future generations.
I agree with you strongly. However, if some governments don’t want to teach students about their own country’s history, how will they even educate them on poorer nations.
As with most sustainable fantasies And green energy fantasies... This is all imagination it will not work just like windmills and solar panels... It's all just lies
@@hazelem1266 Kids in rich countries know their country's history by elementary school. These days, they even teach the kids CRT and focus on a few bad things, while ignoring all the good things, like spreading human rights, and education. By the way, I dont think this method is viable for most roads. It costs more, its slower to make, and it doesnt last very long. It also requires a lot of manual labour. This project and the video looks like a business promotion, not independent analysis. A businessman has free coconut fibre and he wants to find a use to sell to the government to make roads. Its only economically viable because he has an army of poor workers working for slave wages. In the west it would cost a fortune because we pay workers a decent wage.
Great to see coir used like this. That guy with the cylinder of sand used to be me. That work is *miserable*. In the U.S. no matter how rural it is machines doing this work the whole way. We used the natural sand, then gravel, then a crushed stone to get the fines they mention, then it is surfaced with a base coat and top coat of asphalt. None of that shows up in woven baskets delivered by hand. Instead of coir we use a woven plastic, but even the, pretty rarely. What is fascinating is that even with the rigorous standards of California they don't expect 100% compaction. You need the amount of water in the soil to be *perfect*. That 100% won't stay that way for those days of exposure in certain parts of the year. Great that they found a use for coir to manage this.
Geo-textiles came into limelight sometime in 1984-85 ... very useful material - eco-friendly with widespread uses that enhances efficiencies on areas of application. Moreover raw material is available in abundance and cheap besides huge export opportunities ...
All eyes are going to be on India to see how they adapt to their high populations and economic improvements in Low income areas. I am very much particularly interested in India creating a Machine that anyone could have in their backyard to reform and re-purpose recycled materials. I really like where they heat up and compress the plastic into different things
It's really sad to see potholes on city roads even in 2022. This types of road building techniques and perfections should be followed every corner of Bharat.
wow this is really cool ! you've put so much effort into this, I wish the indian government would put this much effort into stopping the corruption in india.
I think this is an effective method of: 1) reducing the erosion of lower soil layers, due to the constant need of having to repair the roads in areas with moderate to heavy rainfall; and 2) steadying the road-material better, on the road patch, than what we observe usually. What I would like to ask is about the uppermost layer of the road that is constantly getting washed away and has to be replaced, just like the regular roads. If there is any alternative already available for it and if we can use recycled plastic blocks instead. I am asking this question here because the NRRDA is also concerned with this video.
Liked the coir usage, meantime worried about the stone's coming from near by mountain's, we are using mountains like they will grow in another day, need a alternate for this as well, which should be capable of self draining as well
There are no roads that do really "breathe". Some road might absorb a little water, but in a City where a lot of ground is sealed, the only way to get the water out of there is through large sewers and big diameter Drainage pipes underground. Otherwise the water will wash away road and building foundations.
Strikes me that this with a tighter weave would be an excellent sustainable, [plastic free] alternative to the usual commercial geotextiles used in landscaping & in domestic gardens for weed suppression. By the time it rots down, plants would have grown sufficiently to shade out most weeds. You would still be able to plant through a coir geotextile in exactly the same way you would the commercial varieties: cut a cross slit section/s, peel back, dig holes, place plants in holes, firm soil back around the plants and fold back the coir geotextile around the base of the plants. Mulch with your choice of mulch, gravel or chipped bark being the most common.
Coir is so eco friendly. I am sad that people or not buying coir mats nowadays. Coz the plastic door mat is taking over. People please buy coir mats. 🙏
Thank you very much for the video. If i may give some constructive criticism : maybe the texts can get proofread professionally before being sent to the speaker.
@@M3ganwillslay And how would you recon that? Especially since you are aware of my writing skills. Or the fact that watching a video doesn't require any reading skills whatsoever. You'd probably want to use a different insult here. Not that it would matter, but illiterate is definitely the wrong one. But please allow use the pleasure of your thought process here.
95% eco-friendly material + 5% plastic, vs 100% plastic. Choose which is better... This material is used with cost-efficiency in mind (also, it is produced locally => jobs for the locals), certainly not environmental friendliness, that's a side effect. Now replace those zipties with ropes and then you have to make knots which are cumbersome and time-consuming - it increases labor costs and might come apart at any time. Anything that increases costs without a clear benefit is not welcome in such poor countries. If you have better ideas than cheap and quick zip ties, please share it.
Nice informative video! I wonder though, why cable ties? Besides being strong and fast to use, they are also made of plastic. Is using geo-textiles also for this not possible or practical?
Thanks to the great pm of India mr. Narendra Modi..only this man can recover India from centuries of looting and corruption..he already has done lot of serious improvements.
@@amalgeorge6877 But real problem in road construction is cost. Let's say this road last for 20 years and cost 100 unit of money. So any damage happens after 5 or 10 or 15 years have to wait till long time to reconstruct the road. But if we had reduced to let 20 unit of money to construct same road may be not so durable then we can reconstruct it every five years.
@@projavadevelopers Roads generally made for villages are washed away each monsoon, wich is 100 units per year cost. This technology looks promising at least 5 years with minimum 5 years with minimum repair with say 150 to 200unit cost. Seems cost effective over life
😮@7:49...that's the main reason any road is messed up quick--it wasn't graded properly to begin with...smh *you Must have a smooth surface + design the rainwater drainage to Not Wash away your hard work.* This way, just about any road surface is long lasting...
We manufacture spares for Doctor Blade holders used in Mills where geotextile is made through automation. It's a very good process for eco friendly roads.
Good Evening Sir/Madam, I think that you should design a project to build coir-bitumen road in a single district of every Western, Southern, Eastern and North-Eastern State of India. For Northern India, you can suggest National Jute Board to design a project for jute-bitumen road
❤ WE WANT COIR MATS CEMENT RUFFLING SHEETS FOR RURAL HOUSING NEEDS..LIKE AS CEMENT+ASBESTOS RUFFLING SHEETS....❤ &COIR CEMENT BRICKS LIKE AS INDUSTRIAL HEMP CONCRETE BRICKS...❤
Can I have the coordinates of someone who could help me out. We are a group of farmers who want inexpensive yet durable road within our farm land for which we need to pay ourselves? And we are looking for options.
Eco friendly roads, are there also eco friendly public busses riding on these roads, is there a cheap alternative to diesel cars that pave the plants and rivers brown next to these roads? Is there a plan ahead for road maintenance??? Guys, material is one thing, prototyping and inclusion of external stakeholders another. Think broader please.
if it is durable for 5 years what are the advantages of it over the normal way? ... the normal way it can last for 40 years in the villages there is no traffic ..
Not good product for heavy trafic roads. This item corods after 4,5 years. So may weaken top layer of roads above this layer. But good for village roads.
@@mmlufer Yes I think that is what he means, it could also tear I assume from heavy traffic loads displacing the layers above it. But for small amounts of traffic I assume it will last much longer.
it is not a "Roman Road" technology...all roads must be maintained (fixed) regularly for increased weight bearing, multiple layers of geotextile/bitumen , especially if properly graded to protect against water errosion*
