Only 10-20 years ago, road markings were carried out exclusively by hand. Today the best mobile technology. After all, marking is vital at airfields, and in parking lots, and on sports grounds. In a word, everywhere where it is able to ensure the safe movement of people and vehicles.
Of course, the current marking requirements are somewhat different from the requirements that were guided in the past – they noticeably tightened. The technique has also undergone changes. All modern machines are equipped with automatic control devices that allow you to monitor the geometry of the applied lines without stops and separation from the process.
Paint or thermoplastic: what to choose?
Innovations affected consumables. Today, in addition to special road paint, thermoplastics are increasingly used. This is polymer clay, which has a combination of unique properties, in particular, inertia to any chemical and climatic effects. In addition, being unusually elastic, it lies perfectly on the roadway, simplifying the marking process, and costs no more than conventional paint.
In general, this technology is ideal for highway with intensive traffic, it is quite successfully practiced in large megacities of the world, including in Moscow. And many companies, including Technotraid, give preference to her. The use of thermoplasty extends the timing of the marking by several times. The mixture also includes glass microparticles, which makes it possible to achieve a reflective effect of the road surface without special capital.
And finally about the most important
Road repair in Russia is a livestock topic, and its conduct at the highest level is one of the priority tasks of road construction. But this is a whole range of measures, including the asphalt work itself.
Currently, the repairs of the canvas are carried out using the most progressive technologies. At the same time, small -sized technique is used – slices of seams and vibro -plate. It is they that allow you to get a qualitative result.
It is impossible not to mention that the surface processing is a particularly interesting technology. The process implies the application of the astringent layer and mineral material with the subsequent compaction. This allows you to increase the strength of tire clutch with a roadway. Previously, about 20 years ago, this stage did not attach any meaning at all.
The elimination of seams and cracks is also carried out in accordance with the new rules and norms using polymer sealants and special equipment. Therefore, damage to the asphalt canvas is eliminated as efficiently as possible and with minimal labor costs.
