A Lesser Risk With High Friction Surface Treatment

By Christopher Anderson


Vehicles are considered already as part of the basic and daily needs of humans. Car, bus, train motorcycles, trucks are just few common types of vehicles that you can see everyday passing by the streets. These invention made the lives of the people easier than before, no more walking at a very long distance. Saving not only energy and effort but also time that can still be useful to other things.

Nothing in this world offers only the positive side, it always has its own negative side. Too much of everything can kill someone. Not following the right way of driving and how to use a truck and car can be your greatest nightmare. Vehicular accidents around the world is rampant. Roads that are damaged and irresponsible driving are just one of top reasons why drivers are experiencing this problem. To lessen this increasing number, high friction surface treatment was found out to be an effective solution.

This treatment allows the expressway to sustain sufficient frictions that vehicles need in order to avoid loosing of control. Maintaining the condition of the highways can prevent from occurring such incident. Giving a safe and sound journey to the people.

Before the installation of HFST, the surface pavement condition at a site should be checked first, including the cracks, holes and other defects. Large defect will be needing repairs by patching the hole and cracks before applying it. Proper condition inspection in the site is necessary, to ensure the durability of it for the years to come.

It was found out that the remedy lasts for seven to twelve years. The road and bridge location, the climate and the number of vehicles are one factors that causes the surface to deteriorate easily or not. Frequency of the cars using the road can shorten the durability.

Demands in applying this to the nation roadways is growing. Higher cost than the ordinary pavement but in the long run it can save greater money because of its effectiveness and durability. Surveys showed that reported incidents of car crashes were found lesser because of this remedy especially to areas where accident usually takes place.

Bridges can also be treated by this. It prevents the bridge to crack and deteriorate. It strengthen the bridge and also its capacity to accommodate large number of vehicles passing it.

Noticing the treatment areas for the drivers can experience rougher roads than others. In this way, the greater the friction the better they can control their automobiles. Less friction from the roads can thereby reduce the vehicles contribution to lose its control when they increase their speed.

Educating oneself is a good way of preventing this kind of nightmare. Knowing the roads condition and the bridges you are taking and following the signs and regulations in driving are very important. Keeping your focus to what you are doing can save your precious life.
