The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced plans to integrate advanced geosynthetic systems into future highway designs, marking a significant step toward building more resilient and climate\u2011resilient road infrastructure across the country.<\/h4>\n\n

The announcement follows a successful Geosynthetic Solutions Workshop held on 16 April 2026, hosted through a collaboration between KeNHA, Maccaferri Africa, and local distributor SANPAC. The workshop provided a focused technical platform to explore innovative slope protection and ground engineering solutions tailored to Kenya\u2019s infrastructure challenges.<\/p>\n\n

Led by Devan Govender and Yugeshnee Naidoo of Maccaferri Africa, alongside Rajiv Raja, Rajen Shah, and Morris Maina from SANPAC, the session brought together 14 KeNHA professionals from the Research & Innovation, Maintenance, and Design Departments. Discussions highlighted how geosynthetic systems can enhance slope stability, erosion control, drainage performance, and long\u2011term durability along critical highway corridors.<\/p>\n\n

Drawing on global experience and practical case studies, Maccaferri demonstrated how these solutions offer cost\u2011effective, durable, and climate\u2011resilient alternatives to traditional approaches.<\/p>\n\n

KeNHA\u2019s commitment to adopting geosynthetics represents an important milestone for Kenya\u2019s roads sector, reflecting a growing focus on innovative engineering solutions to mitigate climate\u2011related infrastructure risks. For Maccaferri, the collaboration reinforces its role as a trusted technical partner in delivering sustainable, locally relevant infrastructure solutions.<\/p>\n\n
