A national-level partnership to extend road lifespan 3–5× and reduce annual state costs
Veleton provides world-class polymer technologies and full on-site engineering support, enabling governments to significantly increase road durability, reduce maintenance cycles, and strengthen economic development.
We invite a highly respected national leader with strong governmental authority in the road-construction sector to join us as a Strategic Partner.
Seeking respected national figures with long-standing influence over road-construction processes and decisive authority in state-level road-sector decision-making.
Road infrastructure today faces increasing pressure — and declining resilience
Across many countries, road networks are experiencing accelerating degradation driven by several structural factors:
Road surface repair, Almaty,
Tole Bi St., Kazakhstan.
Global oil-refining efficiency continues to rise — and bitumen, as a residual by-product, becomes weaker each year. This significantly reduces the natural durability of asphalt pavements, making roads more vulnerable to rutting, cracking, and deformation.
Increasing average temperatures, extreme heat events, and wider annual temperature fluctuations put additional stress on asphalt surfaces. Climate-driven softening and fatigue accelerate wear, especially under modern traffic loads.
The number of vehicles — especially heavy trucks — grows every year. Higher axle loads and congested traffic dramatically increase stress on road surfaces, reducing the lifespan of even well-constructed asphalt.
If these factors are not addressed through a modern, science-based approach, countries face:
- continuous annual decline in road quality,
- rising maintenance expenditure,
- reduced road safety,
- slower movement of people and goods,
- direct constraints on economic growth.
Poor or rapidly deteriorating roads affect the entire economic system:
- logistics and transportation costs rise,
- regional development slows,
- tourism and small businesses suffer,
- public trust in state institutions declines.
Roads are a direct reflection of a country’s development trajectory — improving them leads to measurable national progress.
Key infrastructure decisions are taken only under the influence of trusted national leaders.
A Strategic Partner is a person whose professional status allows them to raise and support critical road-sector changes at state level.
Access to ministries, agencies, and national road authorities is built on trust.
The Partner has personal relationships, reputation, and influence that open doors to those who make decisions — and make constructive dialogue possible.
To implement polymer-based solutions effectively, they must be adopted in a coordinated way by asphalt plants, supervision bodies, regulators, and infrastructure authorities.
A Strategic Partner is a local leader who can negotiate, explain the technical advantages, and coordinate implementation so that the process is systemic and manageable, not sporadic.
A major share of the road budget is spent on repeated repairs caused by rapid pavement deterioration.
The Partner is the one who can initiate a government-level shift towards solutions with 3–5× longer service life, redirecting budget from constant repairs toward higher-quality, long-lasting road infrastructure.
Veleton polymers and on-site support are designed to systematically address the core challenges of the road sector
Our polymer additives compensate for the year-on-year deterioration in bitumen quality caused by deeper oil refining.
We reinforce asphalt concrete structure and ensure high resistance to rutting, cracking, and deformation.
Typical performance achieved with Veleton™ polymers:
Veleton polymer modification increases the temperature stability of asphalt concrete:
- pavements better withstand extreme heat and sharp daily/seasonal temperature swings,
- the risk of plastic deformations and thermal cracking is reduced,
- climate-driven ageing of road surfaces slows down.
Based on our experience across more than 300 projects in different countries, Veleton-modified asphalt concrete maintains strength and geometry even under:
- continuously growing freight traffic
- high axle loads of modern trucks
- intensive operation on highways and major urban arterials
These factors are among the key drivers of premature road failure — and this is precisely where Veleton polymers deliver a tangible extension of service life.
Our technologists work directly at asphalt plants and on construction sites, helping to:
- correctly select and adjust mix designs and mixing regimes,
- control temperature regimes during production, transport, and paving,
- implement clear, proven technological guidelines,
- systematically train contractor staff.
- stable stock levels at local warehouses,
- flexible supply planning aligned with road-construction seasons,
- a consistent technological framework applied across the country.
