Roads and Bridges
Safety— 1.4 million weather-related car accidents each year in the United States. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Each year adverse weather conditions contribute to an average of 1.4 million car accidents, 7,000 deaths, 800,000 injuries and $42 billion in economic loss according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These numbers need to be much lower and SafeLane™ Surface Overlay can help.
SafeLane reduces the potential for winter accidents by helping prevent ice and frost from ever forming and by keeping snow from bonding on bridge and road surfaces.
A recent study commissioned by Cargill found no weather related accidents at all nine test sites using SafeLane ™ Surface Overlay during the winter of 2005-2006. Those nine sites had a combined yearly average of 35 winter weather-related accidents before SafeLane’s installation. Almost all of the treated sites had a history of winter weather accidents. And, in many cases, multiple accidents occurred on nearby untreated stretches of road or bridge deck. Read complete report. »
Mobility— A one day highway shutdown due to snow costs from $15 to $76 million in lost time, productivity and wages.
Research indicates SafeLane will provide 15+ years of superior friction. Drivers get better traction year round in all weather conditions.
- Bald tire skid tests – 58 to 60 after installation
- After three years - high 40’s to mid 50’s
- Surface is renewable and repairable
Protection— Billions are spent annually to preserve and maintain roads and bridges. That number could be significantly reduced.
SafeLane extends the life of roads and bridges while protecting infrastructure. The two-component epoxy polymer provides a complete pavement seal and can eliminate water and chloride intrusion.
