GridMats

Context: PotHoleRaja, officially known as Ground Reality Enterprises Pvt Ltd, have innovated and patented GridMats

Concept:

  • The GridMats have taken their honeycomb design from nature, are 40mm in thickness, reduce consumption of concrete by 85 per cent and carbon emissions by 80 per cent. Besides, they give the road effective drainage with no possibility of puddles or slush.
  • They are manufactured from recycled polypropylene.
  • These are placed on the ground and interlocked together to create a road surface on which potholes cannot develop.
  • The grids are filled with a specially mixed green concrete made from industrial waste a mix that has been formulated in partnership with cement company Ultra Tech.
  • The roads of GridMats and concrete take half the time to construct compared to regular roads.
  • They are also 20 to 25 per cent cheaper to construct and have been validated by Smarter Dharma, a social enterprise that evaluates environment impact of projects
  • Around 10,000 potholes have already been filled across the country using this new technology.
