Construction Case
Rural Road Construction, Kenya
50 km of rural road built with Creare compact rollers, concrete vibrators and road cutting machines — precise joint cutting, 10+ year design service life.
The Challenge
A 50 km rural road project in Kenya required base compaction and concrete surface construction on narrow roads where full-size equipment could not operate.
The Creare Solution
The team used 8 × 1.5 t compact road rollers for flexible base compaction, 12 × concrete vibrators to guarantee surface density, and 4 × concrete road cutting machines for accurate joint cutting to prevent cracking.
