Pathway is the expert in accelerating the adoption of sustainable construction technologies in local markets. Within its first 3 years in the Philippines, it has taken RoadPacker's soil stabilization technology for road construction into 14 out of the 13 regions in the country, primarily in public works and highways projects, and now making big strides in the growing farm to market roads sector. In road construction, soil stabilization technology allows for the reduction in the requirement of sand and gravel -- now the most extracted substance in the planet next to water. This has created a vulnerability in the construction industry and global development at the same time: both in terms of rising costs and in irreversible environmental damage. Both are consequences that are directly mitigated by the adoption of soil stabilization tech. Pathway enables developers, planners, and construction companies to gain decisive competitive advantages in efficiency and cost effectiveness: lowering the cost of materials, using less total equipment, and needing less total time to complete; while lowering the overall carbon footprint of the project. Pathway will become an emergent contributor in the supply chain for impact construction projects in the developing world.
