  <h2>Five concrete roads across Mira-Bhayandar, including four on NH-08</h2>
  <p class="ck-lead">Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation appointed Civikor as project management consultant for a package of five cement concrete roads spread across the corporation's prabhag samitis — four of them fronting National Highway 08.

  <h3>The brief</h3>
  <p>Mira-Bhayandar's growth has concentrated along National Highway 08 and the Mira Road East corridor — high-density residential blocks, commercial frontage and highway service traffic pressing on roads that were never built for that combination. Four of the five segments in this package front NH-08 directly, which means construction had to be sequenced around live highway movement rather than behind a closed corridor.</p>
  <p>MBMC needed the segments rebuilt in cement concrete to a consistent corporation standard, with stormwater drainage designed as part of the road and pedestrian provision on both edges.</p>
</section>

<section class="ck-block">
  <h3>Scope of work</h3>
  <ul class="ck-list">
    <li><strong>Development Plan marking</strong> across the corporation area — all five segments located on a single DP sheet against their prabhag samiti boundaries, so scope and jurisdiction were unambiguous from the outset.</li>
    <li><strong>Standard cross-section design</strong> — one 18.00 m typical section, applied consistently and adapted for the 15 m and 9 m segments.</li>
    <li><strong>Drainage design</strong> — encased RCC pipe drainage detail integrated with the pavement build-up.</li>
    <li><strong>Project management consultancy</strong> — quality assurance, measurement verification and progress reporting to MBMC across all five sites.</li>
  </ul>
</section>

<section class="ck-block">
  <h3>Pavement specification</h3>
  <p>Typical 18.00 m section — 1.00 m footpath + 1.50 m side strip + 6.00 m carriageway + 1.00 m central strip + 6.00 m carriageway + 1.50 m side strip + 1.00 m footpath, at 2% camber to both carriageways.</p>

  <h3>How we approached it</h3>
  <h4>One section, five sites</h4>
  <p>Five scattered segments could easily have become five separate designs with five separate quality standards. Instead a single typical cross-section and a single drainage detail govern the whole package, adapted only where the reserved width changes. For the corporation that means one specification to inspect against and one set of test criteria — the fastest route to consistent quality across dispersed sites.</p>

  <h4>Stamped concrete on the pedestrian edge</h4>
  <p>The side strips carry a 75 mm stamped concrete finish over a full PQC and DLC build-up. It is a pedestrian surface designed with the same structural seriousness as the carriageway, which matters on NH-08 frontage where footpaths are routinely driven over and parked on.</p>

  <h4>Drainage encased, not just laid</h4>
  <p>The 0.30 m dia RCC drainage pipe is fully encased in PCC beneath the pavement. Under a rigid slab carrying highway loading, an unencased pipe is a future settlement crack; encasement removes that failure mode at a marginal cost during construction.</p>

  <h4>Jurisdiction settled on one sheet</h4>
  <p>Marking all five segments on a single corporation-wide DP sheet, coded by prabhag samiti, gave MBMC a clear approval and monitoring instrument for a package that would otherwise have been tracked across five unrelated files.</p>

<section class="ck-block">
  <h3>Why it matters</h3>
  <ul class="ck-list ck-list--tick">
    <li><strong>Highway-grade construction on highway-adjacent roads.</strong> M40 PQC over DLC and a 0.25 m granular sub-base handles the service traffic that NH-08 frontage attracts.</li>
    <li><strong>Consistent quality across dispersed sites.</strong> A single governing section makes five separate construction fronts inspectable to one standard.</li>
    <li><strong>Monsoon resilience.</strong> Encased piped drainage plus continuous covered edge drains, in a corporation where waterlogging is the recurring annual failure.</li>
    <li><strong>Pedestrians designed for.</strong> Structural footpaths and kerb-with-water-table on both edges, not a strip of paving added at the end.</li>
    <li><strong>Whole-life value.</strong> Rigid pavement removes the recurring resurfacing cycle that consumes municipal road budgets.</li>
  </ul>

  ================= AUDIT NOTE — REMOVE BEFORE PUBLISHING =================
  1. CLIENT ERROR ON THE PROJECTS INDEX. /projects/ lists this project's client as
     "Ambarnath Municipal Council". It is MIRA-BHAINDAR MUNICIPAL CORPORATION. The detail
     page has it right; the index card does not. Fix the index.
  2. Spelling corrections against the source drawing (MBMC DP SHEET MARKING):
       live page "Manas OP Building"        -> "Man Opas Building"
       live page "Minakshi Nagar Tableta"   -> "Minakshi Nagar Tabela"
       live page "Mashcha Pada"             -> "Mashacha Pada"
  3. Segment 5 (Minakshi Nagar Tabela to Mashacha Pada) has its LENGTH field left blank on
     BOTH source drawings. Get the figure from Crystal Technical Consultant / MBMC.
  4. Consider renaming the page. "MBMC Road Project details" is a file-naming convention,
     not a project title. Suggested: "Cement Concrete Roads, Mira-Bhayandar (MBMC)".
