YUSR is developing the “Cleaner Air, Safer & Sustainable Roads” initiative, which aims to improve unpaved roads, reduce dust and strengthen urban drainage in N’Djamena.
The challenge
- Dry season: dust rises with every vehicle, affecting air quality, visibility and daily life.
- Rainy season: water collects and roads turn to mud, slowing or stopping traffic.
- Untreated roads wear quickly and need constant, costly maintenance.
Building blocks of the solution
- Stabilisation: treating and improving the soil to increase bearing capacity.
- Road improvement: shaping the road and correcting its slopes.
- Dust reduction: less dust and mud, more comfort and safety.
- Drainage: protecting the road against water and ponding.
Our approach
Five steps: inspection and diagnosis, identifying the cause, choosing the right solution, execution, and monitoring with preventive maintenance — all preceded by laboratory testing to validate the formulation.
What we aim for
Less dust, more stable roads, lower maintenance costs and longer service life. The initiative is in development; we will share progress here.
