In recent months, the GCC region, particularly the UAE, has been grappling with unprecedented flooding due to extreme weather conditions. In April 2024, the UAE experienced its heaviest rainfall in over 75 years, with some areas receiving more than a year's worth of rain in just 24 hours. This caused significant flooding, affecting residential areas, businesses, and major transport hubs such as Dubai International Airport. The economic impact was severe, with insured losses exceeding $82 million, highlighting the increasing need for effective flood mitigation measures.
Road defects are a significant concern across the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) due to rapid urbanization and heavy reliance on road networks for transportation. Common issues include potholes, uneven surfaces, and cracks caused by high traffic loads, extreme weather, and inadequate drainage systems. These defects contribute to traffic accidents, increased vehicle maintenance costs, and economic losses.
