In figure 5.3 are the maintenance costs shown over a reference period of 10 years.
Figure 5.3: Maintenance costs Traditional vs RoadCem
In figure 4.6 it is shown that the PowerCem Technology will offer an enormous economic
advantage over a longer term. After 1 year the maintenance costs are reduced by 25 % but
after a period of 10 years the cost reduction will be approximately 75%. So the potential of the
PowerCem technology will be significant especially in the longer term.
Besides the significant advantage for the direct costs the PowerCem technology will also have
potentials in the indirect costs. So the road network is more reliable since less traffic blocks
occur. Indicative, is shown in figure 5.4 the expected construction time of the roads in Tabasco.
