The existing railway crossing was heavily damaged due to:
• Constant vehicular load and wear-and-tear from bypass traffic.
• Crushed aggregates and uneven surface, posing a safety hazard.
• Frequent road failures, causing operational difficulties for the railway and risk of accidents.
Additionally, during execution, traffic movement immediately after completion led to early surface disturbance, requiring immediate on-site management.
Makphalt’s Mak Premix was chosen for its superior bonding strength, flexibility, and long-term durability — ideal for quick and permanent patch repairs.
Application was carried out by Madhuri Construction, under the supervision of
railway authorities.
The ready-to-use cold mix compound was applied directly to potholes and
compacted without heating, ensuring rapid repair and traffic reopening.
To manage premature traffic movement, an artificial diversion path for two-
wheelers was created and traffic police managed heavy vehicles until the
repaired surface stabilized.
• Fast Restoration: The crossing was reopened for traffic within hours of repair.
• Enhanced Durability: The Mak Premix surface demonstrated strong bonding and long service life, resisting wear from heavy vehicles.
• Cost-Effective: The project proved to be economical and sustainable, meeting Indian Standard specifications for road maintenance.
• Improved Safety: The restored crossing eliminated accident risks and ensured smooth passage for both vehicles and trains.
• Client Satisfaction: Northern Railway officials appreciated the timely execution and long-lasting performanceof Makphalt’s Mak Premix solution
