Antigua Launches On-Site Concrete Production for Faster, Climate-Resilient Roads
The Ministry of Works has begun testing and training for a new pugmill system that will enable on-site production of roller compacted concrete roads in communities across Antigua and Barbuda.
The update was shared Monday by Works Minister Maria Vanessa Browne, who described the equipment as a step toward climate-resilient infrastructure.
The process involves loading aggregates into the pugmill in precise amounts.
The resulting concrete is moved via belt into a truck, poured into a spreader, and compacted by roller.
According to Browne, this special concrete mix reaches maximum strength in under five days—compared to more than 20 days for regular concrete.
The Ministry says the initiative supports better roads and more resilient communities under the hashtags #WorksOnTheMove, #BetterRoads, and #ClimateResilientInfrastructure.

Interesting development. Concrete roads could be more durable, but what about maintenance costs?
Nice start with the pugmill testing, but when will actual construction begin?
Hope this means the days of potholes and patch jobs are finally behind us.
Concrete sounds promising, but will it stand up to our rainy seasons?
I just want a road that doesn’t turn into a minefield after a month!
I’m cautiously optimistic. Too many times we’ve seen promising tests, but poor execution.
Pugmill tech is great, but what’s the plan for drainage and utility access under concrete?
Who Financed this Multi Million Dollar Equipment as we know the government cash constraints?
Is it the same contractor who is building the massive house house for the Brown Family at Paradise? We have to monitor these incestuous relationships as they foster corruption..
Remember my man say he is too creative to get caught in corrupt acts!!!
