superheroes like Hulk Thor and Iron Men always unintentionally destroy our
precious roofs while protecting humanity from evil
monsters but we all know roads are very essential for the country's economic
growth hence in this video we are going to explore some of the coolest ways to
construct roadways as well as their modern maintenance methodologies
infra-red pavement repair roads need to be maintained because of the
inevitability of wear and tear as a direct result of the constant traffic
which they bear on a day to day basis roads that are made with either poor
quality materials or areas in which the climate is particularly Harnish are
extremely prone to developing potholes studies have shown that up to 3% of all
road surfaces in city roads wear out every year and when these roads come
under additional environmental stress the figure can go up as much as 50% when
the inevitable happens and the road gets damaged the damaged part of the road
needs to be removed with the use of mini excavators with hydraulic hammers and
hammers and special cutters are used for destroying the asphalt layer
nowadays the improvement in technology has made all of this obsolete the use of
special infrared asphalt heaters are used to soften the road while preserving
its integrity and when this has been done workers can loosen the asphalt and
then workers can start to loosen the surface at fresh asphalt and reminiscing
agent then level the layer after this has been done all that is left is to
roll the results leaving a flawless surface without needing excessive repair
materials
chip film created by gaveta markings a company specializing in the production
and sale of thermoplastic for road markings the chip fill is a new
thermoplastic with unique qualities one of its main features is its suitability
for use in road repair as it looks like large flakes which are transported to
the site of the damage then used to fill up the defected areas once the material
has been heated it expands to fill up the gaps and melts with the bitumen
leading to a smooth finish Road the method is ideal when used to repair
roads with damage ranging between the width of 15 to 20 centimeters and the
entire process takes no more than 20 minutes making this method of road
repair ideal for year-round use
poly level one of the primary reasons why surface of a concrete slab becomes
unusable is because the soil beneath it shrinks on the outside poly level an
amazing new invention made from polyurethane helps lengthen the life
span of concrete slabs by serving as a higher density and lighter weight
material
it has the advantage of being lighter than most traditional mixes and can be
filled through very small holes which are virtually invisible after filling
and significantly improves the aesthetic appearance the poly level also has a
much higher load bearing capacity prevent shrinkage and dries almost
instantly removing the need for the lengthy weight associated with more
traditional mixes GOM road construction is an art as well as a science it is the
hope of every government official that the roads they construct remain usable
for years to come preventing the need for repair as well
as the damages that result from poor road condition one of the most modern
ways to ensure an extended lifespan of a road is through the use of gof it is a
2-dimensional or 3-dimensional net made of strips of polyester or polyethylene
fabric and it forms a stable frame that ensures better load distribution
this grid has been shown to help reduce the incidence of cracks or damage to the
root surface and consequently increases the time between repairs gof helps to
reinforce the base of the road stabilizing the terrain and ultimately
makes road construction possible in areas where it would previously never
been attempted
rumble strips most traffic accidents have been determined to occur as a
result of lapses of attention on the part of the driver
these momentary losses of attention have caused constant damage to life and
property making it vital that technological innovations be put in
place that will help reduce the impact of this burden the use of rumble strips
technology as a way to reduce accidents has shown some promise
these froze on the road are located on the dividing strip and in front of the
road and they are constructed in such a manner that they produce a loud noise as
well as a strong vibration which helps wake up the driver
this technology made its debut in Minnesota highways and since its use on
that stretch of road there has been a 29 percent reduction in accidents as well
as a 51 percent reduction in fatal accidents this life-saving device is
also economically prudent and a similar system of slots will be installed on an
even greater number of new or upgraded roads leading to a safer driving
experience for us all
dancing traffic light waving at a red light is one of modern life's most
boring challenges studies have shown that unsurprisingly people do not like
to wait and traffic accidents may occur as pedestrians attempt to cross streets
with a red light the dancing traffic light was developed
to help relieve the tedium associated with waiting when stuck at a red light
observers will notice that the red icon suddenly begins to dance while you may
be thinking that the dancing animation is automated it is actually a
replication of the actions of a real-life individual in a special booth
the use of a special program captures the dancing motion of the individual and
displays them in the screen in real time attracting the attention of pedestrians
and reducing the incidence of traffic related accidents
Vogl Superseries the process of laying down asphalt has
much like anything else construction related evolved with the times
one of the companies leading the charge on this quest for innovation is German
company Vogel they have a range of mechanical equipments including asphalt
pavers with variations primarily based on the width of a paving area this video
showcases just how effective the Vogel super series specifically the super 8:03
3i is it carrying out its stated functions
it is a compact new generation machine that is impressed enthusiasts with its
small size and extreme efficiency it has an overall width of only 1.4 meters
while it has been shown to be capable of laying up to 300 tons of asphalt per
hour with an adjustable laying with ranging between 0.5 to 3.5 meters its
small size means that it's capable of working in even narrow spaces which
makes it useful for the creation and repair of private roads small roads
bicycle and walking paths
