Impressive engineering! 👏🏼 But slipform paving is already used across the world, including the US, India, Australia and many European countries. The real achievement is how efficiently technology can deliver durable roads at scale. We should learn from the best practices everywhere! 🙌🏼
Germany is among the world’s leading civil-engineering nations, known for precision engineering, advanced construction technology, durable infrastructure, sophisticated tunnelling, bridges, railways and strict technical standards. In the World Bank’s 2023 Logistics Performance Index, Germany ranked 3rd globally for infrastructure quality, alongside Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland, behind Singapore and Finland.
Amazing
![🚧 [WATCH] | N2 CORRIDOR CONSTRUCTION The machinery being used to construct the N2 from Ermelo towards the KwaZulu-Natal border represents a new level of road construction technology. Imported from Germany, the specialised machinery has the capacity to lay approximately 350 metres of concrete road per day. The project uses a different approach to road construction, incorporating reinforcement bars and concrete to create a stronger and more durable pavement. The concrete road is designed to provide long-term durability, with an expected lifespan of up to 30 years with minimal maintenance, while being strong enough to withstand the heavy loads carried by freight vehicles along this important corridor. A stronger N2 means safer roads, better freight movement and stronger economic activity. #OctoberTransportMonth #OTMSA2026 #N2Corridor #RoadInfrastructure #MpumalangaAProvinceThatWorksForAll #GovZAUpdatesMP #TheNationThatWorksForAll](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2107914920280858941/amplify_video_thumb/2107913663755522048/img/W_jgJ3R-hqOAyi7m.jpg)
