Duratherm by MPS Paving Systems - traffic tough decorative paving
Vic Roads, as an introduction to DuraTherm™, chose a heavy
trafficked Highway which incorporated both asphalt and concrete substrates.
The location required an aesthetically pleasing delineation of 65m² of pedestrian
walkway at the intersection of Sydney Rd and Glenlyon Rd. Sydney Rd is one of
Melbourne's most heavily trafficked arterial roads in and out of the CBD. This
road is not only subjected to light and heavy vehicles but also has two central
tramlines.
Due to high traffic volumes and tram timetables all works were carried out at night.
With the assistance of Sachs Traffic Management was applied to both crosswalks
simultaneously using two application crews. The DuraTherm™ was applied using
the heating and inlaying process on the outer asphalt lanes and surface applied
on the inner concrete tram lanes. Application was conducted in near freezing
conditions with an ambient of just 2°C.
Again the benefits of DuraTherm™ were highlighted as the product and process
allowed for a very fast installation allowing re-opening to traffic the next day.
And it delivered a highly visible, durable inlaid decorative surface that it is
virtually maintenance free.
