21. HISTORY OF ROADS The first indications of constructed roads date from about 4000 BC and consist of stone paved streets at Ur in modern-day Iraq and timber roads preserved in a swamp in Glastonbury, England. Late 1800s Road Builders The road builders of the late 1800s depended solely on stone, gravel and sand for construction. Water would be used as a binder to give some unity to the road surface. John Metcalfe , a Scot born in 1717, built about 180 miles of roads in Yorkshire, England (even though he was blind). His well drained roads were built with three layers: large stones; excavated road material; and a layer of gravel.
22. HISTORY OF ROADS Modern tarred roads were the result of the work of two Scottish engineers, Thomas Telford and John Loudon McAdam. Telford designed the system of raising the foundation of the road in the center to act as a drain for water. Thomas Telford (born 1757) improved the method of building roads with broken stones by analyzing stone thickness, road traffic, road alignment and gradient slopes. Eventually his design became the norm for all roads everywhere. John Loudon McAdam (born 1756) designed roads using broken stones laid in symmetrical, tight patterns and covered with small stones to create a hard surface. McAdam's design, called "macadam roads," provided the greatest advancement in road construction.
31. CONTRIBUTION BY L&T Creating high quality national infrastructure for transportation ECC constructs roads, runways, highways and expressways conforming to international standards, using bitumen as well as concrete. Strengthening and widening of roads are also executed with modern equipment. L&T is globalising its operations L&T’s international presence is increasing, with worksites in 28 countries that encompass South Asia, South East Asia, the Middle East, Russia, CIS countries including African countries.

Information Technology Mr.A.M.Naik “ I always said there are 2 vehicles of change & transformation of any corporate and one of them is an IT, How strongly you are using IT to change the processes between the company & improve productivity is the means to achieve much higher & much enhanced productivity ” (During Project Lakshya-HR speech)
43. Quality Management System Good quality products and customer satisfaction are two basic requirements of business. Well-structured quality management systems ensure good quality, safety, reliability and controlled cost at every stage of construction with a view to enhancing customer satisfaction and adding to stakeholder value. ECC's quality management programme, initiated in its early days was given a further thrust when it was brought under ISO certification during early '90s.

49. Health, Safety & Environment At ECC, safety is given the highest priority. The Occupational Safety, Health and Environment Policy enunciated by the Corporate Management lays emphasis on Safety, Health and Environment through a structured approach and a well defined organization. Systems and procedures have been established for implementing the requisites of safety at all stages of construction and in respect of plant machinery and materials.
