A new technology for preserving roads in the Far North is being tested on one of the road sections in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.
TASS reports that at the test site, the soils are in a thawed state and have an meduim degree of humidity, so thermal stabilizers were installed to freeze and preserve the soil.
“A new technology for preserving roads is being introduced in Yamal. The new method is being tested on the Labytnangi-Kharp road section. 54 thermal stabilizers have been installed here. This will help maintain the soil in a frozen state, which is necessary when constructing or repairing roads in the Far North,” the press service of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District government said, as reported by TASS.
To monitor the ground temperature year-round, five additional wells with a depth of 10 m were drilled.
