Why Philippine Roads are Largely Unserviceable

The vast majority of roads in the Philippines are unpaved. This is largely due to economic reasons.

Among Asian countries, the Philippines has the largest number of roads. However, most of these roads are unserviceable. The main reason for this is inadequate maintenance. However, on closer examination, road construction technology is as serious as a contributor to the state of massive road disrepair. This results in shortened service life of roads and tremendous waste of resources. There is a more frequent need of repair or rehabilitation.

Abroad, soil stabilization is the preferred method for building durable all weather roads. In the past, high freight costs and long shipment time hindered the utilization of soil stabilizers in the Philippines.

For several years now, SS Geo Tech Supplies & Services has made available for the Philippine market Miracore Soil Stabilizer. Miracore is now used by private developers as well as in government projects because of its proven excellent performance as well as its cost saving benefits.
