Road Transport and Highways ministry engages Mobile Inspection Vans for inspection of National Highways through non destructive testing in 4 states
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) has
engaged the services of Mobile Inspection Vans (MIVs) for Quality Inspection of
National Highways through Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in 4 States – Gujarat,
Rajasthan, Odisha and Karnataka – on Pilot basis. This is part of
Ministry’s commitment towards constructing National Highways with global
quality standards.
Use of these MIVs will augment the existing quality
control & quality acceptance systems of NH works by introducing a more
proactive approach for identifying issues related to quality.
Quarterly 2000 km of NH Projects will be inspected in
each state using these Mobile Inspection Vans. Inspections would be conducted
in various projects being implemented by NHAI/ NHIDCL/State PWDs and other
executing agencies of MoRTH.
The Contract Agreement for Gujarat was signed today.
Contract Agreement for Rajasthan, Odisha and Karnataka will be signed soon.
More such vans shall be engaged in other states in future.
Test Results generated as well as alerts for the
non-conformity through these MIVs shall be shared with various stakeholders on
real-time basis through a Quality Control Portal, which is being developed by
MoRTH.
