Odisha Selected for Pilot Project Using Mobile Quality Control Vans to Improve National Highway Standards

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has launched Mobile Quality Control Vans in Odisha to monitor National Highway construction quality in real time. The initiative uses advanced testing technology to ensure safer, durable, and globally compliant highway infrastructure.

In a major step toward improving highway construction quality, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has launched a pilot project using Mobile Quality Control Vans (MQCVs), with Odisha among the four selected states. The project aims to ensure that National Highways are built with high standards of safety, durability, and quality through scientific testing and real-time monitoring.

These mobile vans act as on-site laboratories equipped with advanced tools such as ultrasonic pulse velocity meters, rebound hammers, asphalt density gauges, light-weight deflectometers, and reflectometers. These instruments help engineers assess concrete strength, detect internal cracks, ensure proper asphalt compaction, check soil stability, and evaluate road sign visibility without interrupting construction work.

The collected data is shared with ministry field offices, allowing immediate corrective action if quality issues are found. The government is also developing an online National Highway Quality Monitoring Portal for transparency, real-time GPS tracking, and public access to reports.

With Odisha witnessing rapid highway expansion, this initiative will help ensure long-lasting infrastructure, improved road safety, and better connectivity. The MQCV system will soon be expanded to 11 more states, with nationwide rollout expected by June 2026.
