Construction of roads over moraines / Permafrost/ glaciated areas.

Source

Source summary

The Border Roads Organisation builds roads at very high altitude along India's northern borders, where climate-driven freeze-thaw cycles destabilise permafrost, moraine and glaciated subgrades. The challenge allows either innovative subgrade stabilisation or a road-construction technology suited to these changing ground conditions.

No. 597Problem statementBuilt environment

Development of Inflatable Modular Sun Shelter

Develop temporary, modular inflatable shelters for combat-unit crews and sensitive equipment at off-base sites in harsh weather. Local teams must be able to assemble and dismantle them quickly; the structure must be compact to transport through hill, jungle and desert terrain, waterproof, fire-retardant with recognised certification, thermally insulated, HVAC-equipped, powered and networked, resistant to high winds, and usable at high altitude while permitting aircraft movement in and out. A curved form is preferred. The source also requires concealment from radar-imagery observation; implementation details for that defence feature are omitted here.

Al based system to develop a Digital Elevation Model of the areas to work out various tunnel alignments.

The challenge asks for an AI-assisted digital elevation model that compares possible tunnel alignments using terrain gradient, approach roads to tunnel portals, construction cost, time and other factors. Users should be able to toggle the factors that apply to a particular comparison.

No. 1062Problem statementBuilt environment

System to check the healthiness of earthing system and alert staff in case of any malfunction;

Develop centralised sensing of electrical earthing health for station/parking infrastructure. Monitor leakage protection, earth continuity and earth-pit/grid resistance, transmitting panel feedback and issuing audible/visual alerts when readings depart from specified limits. The source addresses public exposure to faulty pole-light systems and labour-intensive manual inspection; it does not supply numeric thresholds.
