Our Highways and Roads consists of a number of companies – MKIEC&C LLP Road Construction which is responsible for road construction works, MKIEC&C LLP Recovery which processes road construction waste and Stanley Equipment Solutions a related equipment hire company. 

MKIEC&C LLP is a general contractor with a focus on roads, bridges, utilities, large site work, and unique structural projects throughout India. Road construction companies play an integral role in the development of a country’s infrastructure, impacting the ability of people and goods to get where they need to go. Because of this, demand in the road construction market is driven primarily by government projects, population growth, and the need to build and repair infrastructure. Large-scale projects call for the resources and expertise of the biggest highway and road construction companies, firms that can design and build complex structures and road networks.

While some of the biggest road construction companies have global operations, each country has its own set of industry leaders. Countries with large physical distances to cover, growing populations, advanced infrastructure, and challenging environments have high demand for road and highway construction companies, and some of these markets are home to thousands or even tens of thousands of contractors.

MASS EXCAVATION EXPERIENCE & GRADING

MKIEC&C LLP has performed some of the most challenging grading projects throughout the India, and has the capability to meet aggressive schedules at a competitive cost. We self-perform all earthwork on our projects utilizing the largest heavy equipment fleet in the India and a dedicated professional workforce. Our projects range from several thousand to over twenty million cubic yards in all types of soil conditions.

The key to our mass excavation success is our production rock blasting and presplit ting expertise. Stringent erosion control measures and environmental management are integrated into our projects which include site development, interstates, new alignments and slope remediation. Our excavation ability also provides an in-house compliment to many of our highway, building, industrial and municipal projects.

When it comes to site work, MKIEC&C LLP is “plug and play.” That’s because we own over many pieces of equipment, and retain a team of estimators, engineers, projects managers, foremen, surveyors and highly trained technicians. Our investment ensures the best outcome for yours: a job done exceedingly well, on time and on budget.

Our unlimited bonding capacity allows us to bid jobs of any size and or level of complexity. But we’re still hungry, and truly believe no job is too small for our best effort. Our scope of services includes, but is not limited to, surveying, clearing and grading, underground utilities, curb and gutter, asphalt paving, soil remediation, road reclamation, grassing and everything in between.

SOIL STABILIZATION

There’s science in soils. That’s why we have added a full range of soil stabilization and full depth pavement reclamation services. Stabilization methods include lime stabilization, and soil cement. These offer a cost and time saving alternative to traditional mucking and filling methods.

In-place pavement reclamation incorporates existing surface and base course into a consolidated structure that serves as the new pavement base course. This method can be combined with lime or soil cement in areas of marginal sub base to improve load-bearing capacity. Reclamation offers an economical alternative to removal and reconstruction.

Our fleet includes two Wirtgen 350 all-wheel drive mixers, both with stabilization and reclamation capabilities. Support Equipment includes all terrain spreader trucks, and compaction and grading equipment as required.

Quality management for road construction relies heavily on field inspection, field testing and laboratory testing activities which can be performed by us, third party testing services and government agencies. These inspections and tests are required to confirm compliance with the relevant specifications and for customer acceptance. Therefore they can impact significantly on the construction project schedule. Timely access to this data can be difficult as it is collected by multiple individuals from different organizations across large job sites. We have enabled business process improvements in the running of field inspection, testing and laboratory operations as well as enabling the sharing of quality data and reports between all project stakeholders. We have streamlined laboratory and field testing operations, eliminating duplicate data entry and significantly reduce report turnaround time.

Types of Soil Tests for Road Construction

Following are the various types of soil tests for pavement construction:

Types of soil tests for a road construction project require the site investigation to be carried out to understand the soil profile. For road construction works, the properties of soil at sub-grade level are required. The common soil test for road construction includes classification of soil, particle size distribution, moisture content determination, specific gravity, liquid limit, and plastic limit tests. Moisture content, particle size, and specific gravity tests on soils are used for the calculation of soil properties such as degree of saturation. The soil tests can be laboratory tests or in-situ tests. The laboratory tests should be carried out on every sample taken for the determination of particle size and moisture content.

In-situ Moisture Content

The moisture content of the soil test is carried out in the laboratory. It is expressed as the percentage of water in the soil to its dry mass. The moisture content in soil signifies the various properties of soil such as compaction, permeability, particle size, etc.

Specific gravity of soil

The specific gravity of soil is the ratio of the weight of soil in the air of a given volume at a standard temperature to the weight in air of an equal volume of distilled water at the same stated temperature. This test is also carried out in the laboratory.

Particle Size Distribution (By wet sieving & pipette method)

This test determines the particle size distribution of soil from the coarse sand size down to fine clay size. The data from the particle size distribution test is used to determine the suitability of soil for road construction, airfield, etc. This test can also be used to predict soil water movement although permeability tests are more generally used.

Compaction test – Proctor test

This soil compaction test also called as Proctor test is used for the determination of the mass of dry soil per cubic meter when the soil is compacted over a range of moisture contents, giving the maximum dry density at optimum moisture content. Thus this test provides the compaction characteristics of different soils with change in moisture content. This is achieved by the densification of soil by reducing the air voids. The degree of is measured in terms of its dry density of soil. The dry density is maximum at the optimum water content.

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test

California Bearing Ratio test is conducted in the laboratory. This test provides the load penetration resistance of the soil. CBR value is obtained by measuring the relationship between force and penetration when a cylindrical plunger is made to penetrate the soil at a standard rate. The CBR test is used for the evaluation of the sub-grade strength of roads and pavements. The CBR value obtained by this test is used with the empirical curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its component layers. This is the most widely used method for the design of flexible pavement. Even though the provision of subsoil drains reduces the effect of water on the sub-grade, fully soaked CBR tests shall be considered to be appropriate for road construction projects. 

The following points should be taken care of while soil testing for road construction:

• Sampling and Testing: Sampling of soil for tests in laboratory or in-situ is to be carefully done by an experienced engineer. The requirement for the various mass/volume of soil at different points of a road project shall be followed as per the specification and standard codes.
• Test Data Logging: Logging of all the soil sample and test data shall be done by trained staff who has the knowledge of soil properties and tests results.
• Testing Frequency: The testing frequency of soil shall be as per input from Engineer. The decision on the testing frequency is usually taken on the basis of results obtained from the previous tests.
