They are predominantly caused by water and traffic. Water weakens the soil beneath the pavement while traffic applies the loads that stress the pavement past the breaking point. Left unrepaired, they will grow wider and deeper and more dangerous.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">Dr. Prathap Bhimasena Rao, Founder and CEO of GroundReality and PotHoleRaja, is on a mission to develop sustainable road infrastructure in the bustling burg of Bengaluru, India. ADPC spoke to him on the sidelines of the Seventh Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction to learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">\u2018While constructing roads, the possible disasters, climate, environmental hazards, and structure longevity are not evaluated,\u2019 he explains. \u2018Therefore, when disaster strikes and the connectivity is lost, reaching the place looms as a foremost hurdle to cross.\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">The PotHole Raja patches potholes with recycled plastic.

This makes it very useful in rain and floodprone areas, and it can handle the widespread compressive or vibratory movement during disasters like landslides or floods.\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">The GridMats are strong and durable as well, with a load bearing capacity of over 407 tons per square meter for empty grids and have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years. They also save up to 65 percent of concrete and require less water usage for curing, thereby reducing the need to use more fossil fuels during construction and maintenance. But the PotHoleRaja is going digital as well. Working with multiple partners and communities, it is developing a series of SMART roads using sensors and the Internet of Things and harnessing solar energy on roads with micro grids for local and large-scale supplies.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">\u2018Governments need to focus on creating sustainable solutions that will withstand the potential and predictable disasters rather than developing strategies to handle disasters after they have occurred,\u2019 he explains. \u2018If the infrastructure constructed is resilient, it can withstand times of disaster as well as aid reconstruction.\u2019<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column
