Use of Coir Geo-textiles in the construction of Rural Roads

[@rasikakotwal45]

I really think these kind of videos should be showed in schools, colleges every other weekend to aware students about such sustainable ideas to aware them. This will shape their thinking and make them responsible citizens early on. Government efforts and educational entities together can change the society, but efforts need from all hands and not just one. Let's make this society more sustainable and better for our present and future generations.

@@hazelem1266 Kids in rich countries know their country's history by elementary school. These days, they even teach the kids CRT and focus on a few bad things, while ignoring all the good things, like spreading human rights, and education. By the way, I dont think this method is viable for most roads. It costs more, its slower to make, and it doesnt last very long. It also requires a lot of manual labour. This project and the video looks like a business promotion, not independent analysis. A businessman has free coconut fibre and he wants to find a use to sell to the government to make roads. Its only economically viable because he has an army of poor workers working for slave wages. In the west it would cost a fortune because we pay workers a decent wage.

Great innovation. Beautiful looking roads. Hopefully, India will do such inventions using natural sources in many fields.

Great to see coir used like this. That guy with the cylinder of sand used to be me. That work is *miserable*. In the U.S. no matter how rural it is machines doing this work the whole way. We used the natural sand, then gravel, then a crushed stone to get the fines they mention, then it is surfaced with a base coat and top coat of asphalt. None of that shows up in woven baskets delivered by hand. Instead of coir we use a woven plastic, but even the, pretty rarely. What is fascinating is that even with the rigorous standards of California they don't expect 100% compaction. You need the amount of water in the soil to be *perfect*. That 100% won't stay that way for those days of exposure in certain parts of the year. Great that they found a use for coir to manage this.

[@vaishalirao9816]

I think this is an effective method of: 1) reducing the erosion of lower soil layers, due to the constant need of having to repair the roads in areas with moderate to heavy rainfall; and 2) steadying the road-material better, on the road patch, than what we observe usually. What I would like to ask is about the uppermost layer of the road that is constantly getting washed away and has to be replaced, just like the regular roads. If there is any alternative already available for it and if we can use recycled plastic blocks instead. I am asking this question here because the NRRDA is also concerned with this video.

[@blackdification]

Using plastic or similar is goimg to result in a lot of pollution. All that plastic will spread into the nature around the road due to erosion...

[@punachaa]

how about using this material for roads that can breathe ? that can self drain water ? sp[ecially in cities where it is concretized

[@agrippa-theskeptic9346]

Seriously? Where the traffic is stacked bumper to bumper and the weight that goes with it?

[@blackdification]

There are no roads that do really "breathe". Some road might absorb a little water, but in a City where a lot of ground is sealed, the only way to get the water out of there is through large sewers and big diameter Drainage pipes underground. Otherwise the water will wash away road and building foundations.

[@bmo3778]

there is no point in absorbing water. the roads can only hold so much. instead, going all the way and improving the drainage system is more effective.

[@pinkelephants1421]

Strikes me that this with a tighter weave would be an excellent sustainable, [plastic free] alternative to the usual commercial geotextiles used in landscaping & in domestic gardens for weed suppression. By the time it rots down, plants would have grown sufficiently to shade out most weeds. You would still be able to plant through a coir geotextile in exactly the same way you would the commercial varieties: cut a cross slit section/s, peel back, dig holes, place plants in holes, firm soil back around the plants and fold back the coir geotextile around the base of the plants. Mulch with your choice of mulch, gravel or chipped bark being the most common.

[@watdatdoo]

That is quite a lot of labor and steps for a rural road. Especially water usage.

[@blackdification]

Well contentwise his comment isnt so wrong after all.

[@Gigasimo456]

95% eco-friendly material + 5% plastic, vs 100% plastic. Choose which is better... This material is used with cost-efficiency in mind (also, it is produced locally => jobs for the locals), certainly not environmental friendliness, that's a side effect. Now replace those zipties with ropes and then you have to make knots which are cumbersome and time-consuming - it increases labor costs and might come apart at any time. Anything that increases costs without a clear benefit is not welcome in such poor countries. If you have better ideas than cheap and quick zip ties, please share it.

@@amalgeorge6877 But real problem in road construction is cost. Let's say this road last for 20 years and cost 100 unit of money. So any damage happens after 5 or 10 or 15 years have to wait till long time to reconstruct the road. But if we had reduced to let 20 unit of money to construct same road may be not so durable then we can reconstruct it every five years.
