Roads once built will not always be sturdy and solid. Proper and regular maintenance at defined intervals play an important role in the lifespan of roads. Roads are in bad condition just because of the sheer ignorance of maintenance. Insufficient and inconsistent maintenance aggravate the situation. Using microsurfacing emulsion, surface maintenance on roadways is easy and affordable.
Microsurfacing emulsion for road maintenance
Microsurfacing emulsion is used in different ways to cure many road pavement catastrophes. It is fundamentally bitumen emulsion modified by a number of polymers, special additives and mixed with well-graded aggregates. The use depends on several conditions such as thickness required, the nature of the application, surface texture, humidity and temperature. The goal of road maintenance is to preserve the road without upgrading it.
Microsurfacing is considered to be effective in the following conditions:
- It can last up to three years when placed on medium to heavy traffic
- Very successful on low and high volume roadways
- Very useful for night applications on heavy traffic roads
Some of the applications of Microsurfacing emulsion are as follows:
- Urban arterials
- Traffic
- Asphalt surfaces
- Wheel ruts
- Roads
Why microsurfacing emulsion is an eco-friendly tool?
Restoration of roadways with microsurfacing is considered as cost-effective and environmentally friendly. It is a cold mix application treatment used on the surface of roads that might be structurally sturdy but shows an aggregate loss, premature ageing, and a great volume of polishing and cracking. It means that it does not require any thermal heating during its application. It also reduces wastage and ensures lasting roadways. Besides, it can be used for preventive and periodic pavement maintenance.
The number of accidents will be less after the application of microsurfacing as it increases skid resistance. The environmental footprint is almost zero; meaning that microsurfacing is an economical technology. Road users also find the quality of the ride increased due to proper skid resistance as well as reduced roughness. The unit cost for microsurfacing is cheaper compared to other asphalt pavement maintenance because of its use of minimal natural resources.
In terms of the following characteristics, the effectiveness of microsurfacing is derived:
- Surface texture
- Skid resistance
- Roughness
It is explicable that the road is mandatory for the growth of every nation. The expansion of the public road network and the sustenance require adequate maintenance since deterioration can happen due to the effects of weather, traffic volume and traffic loading. Microsurfacing is an eco-friendly product to restore pavement conditions such as cracks, surface ruts and seal the surface. The functional viability of microsurfacing ensures a stable surface that has resistance to rutting and shoving.
