Pavement maintenance. Province of Cuenca

Achieving enhanced safety and greater comfort while driving can be easily achieved by addressing the characteristics of the pavement surface (skid resistance by looking at the effect of the road surface on wheel adherence and regularity).

The control and supervision services for the maintenance and upgrading of a number of sections of the urban roads and inter-urban highways owned by Spanish Ministry of Public Works in the province of Cuenca (878 km) were provided by Azierta. Works consisted in the structural upgrading of the works, pavement strengthening, improvement of the route layout and quality control.

Functionally, works consisted in the widening of the road and plan and elevation improvements. Furthermore, surface drainage systems (downspouts, embankments, collectors, etc.) were repaired or built while lighting and urbanization works were conducted in roads and junctions.
