Pilot Project in Central Asia

Pilot Project: Optimizing a Major Expressway in Central Asia

 

Project Overview

As a pilot initiative in Central Asia, ORIS was used to analyze and optimize pavement design scenarios for a 30-km, 4-lane expressway connecting the country’s major cities.

With heavy traffic demand, the project aimed to:

 

  • Explore alternative pavement scenarios
  • Enhance material traceability & cost predictability
  • Ensure on-time project delivery
  • Optimize sustainability & long-term investment decisions

This project served as a test case for the ORIS platform’s holistic road analysis capabilities, helping to improve investment strategies based on economic and sustainability performance indicators.

Approach & key solutions

________________

 

  • Multi-Scenario Pavement Design Analysis

    Using ORIS, the project team assessed various pavement configurations, balancing:
    - Economic viability (construction & maintenance costs)
    - Sustainability & carbon footprint reduction
    - Material availability & traceability
    - Long-term durability & performance

  • Digital Optimization for Cost & Resource Efficiency


    ORIS provided detailed insights into the variability of material costs and workmanship, enabling more predictable and cost-effective decision-making.

  • Sustainability & Environmental Impact Assessment

    The project integrated sustainability KPIs, ensuring a reduction in carbon emissions & natural resource consumption while maintaining high-performance infrastructure standards.
