REHABILITATION OF ROADS

Completion of refurbishment of roads network due to laying of a modern drainage system in DHA and heavy rainfall has successfully been completed within the stipulated time frame. The project jointly undertaken by DHA and CBC engineers is a significant example of commitment and dedication. The carpeting of roads in DHA has brought a sigh of relief to the residents who had to undergo hassle and inconvenience caused due to digging of roads.

After substantial completion of the drainage system in December 2008, reconstruction of roads was effected due to excavation. The consultants M/s. Techno-Consultants being acquainted with the site conditions and familiar with the extent of works were engaged for designing and construction of the subject roads. Survey department of the consultants carried out the survey works for the following roads earmarked for reconstruction:

Allied Streets of 12th Lane DHA, Allied Streets of E-Street DHA, E-Street DHA, Allied Khayabans of 5th street, 12th Lane DHA, 5th Street DHA, Kh-e-Shamsheer, Allied Streets of Kh-e-Shamsheer, Kh-e-Mujahid, Allied Streets of Kh-e-Mujahid, B-Street, Bahria and Allied Streets, Saba Avenue, 26th Street and Allied Streets, Kh-e-Rahat and Kh-e-Muhafiz and Allied Streets, Kh-e-Sehar and Allied Streets.

The roads constructed have been given a slope to enable accumulated rain water to flow down in the drains constructed in centre of roads with gravity. The drains in the centre of the road have been made as there was no other alternative because of services laid on both sides of the road.

Reconstruction Process

Process of reconstruction of roads in various stages encompassed preconstruction survey, removal of granular fill / scarification of existing structure, natural ground compaction and laying of wearing course. All the stages have been completed with precision and in accordance with highest engineering standards. The Road Rehabilitation Project costing Rs. 500 million has been sponsored by CBC, monitored/supervised by DHA along with the Consultant has been completed within the stipulated time frame.
