Beijing to develop anti-icing pavement in winter is expected not to sprinkle snow melting agent

Time:2013-10-18


Beijing has built 40 waste asphalt recycling stations; is developing anti-freezing and icing pavement, longevity pavement, permeable pavement is applicable ...... October 16, the Beijing municipal government for the public to answer the travel-related road damage, maintenance and environmental protection in the construction process. After winter snow, urban roads can be treated by spraying snow-melting agent, and many roads in the suburbs are often too late to clear. Therefore, the city is developing environment-friendly active anti-ice asphalt pavement materials, scientific name is anti-freeze-thaw asphalt pavement materials. Snow-melting agent is a salt-containing material as the main component, and the anti-freeze-thaw asphalt pavement material is to use a salt-containing material to replace the mineral material in the asphalt mixture, through the salt to reduce the freezing point, so as to prevent the road from icing. Compared with the traditional snow melting agent, this material is more environmentally friendly and will not harm the surrounding vegetation and crops. At present, Beijing is preparing to pave a test section of suburban highway to test the effect of anti-freeze-thaw asphalt pavement with practice. If it is good, it will be widely used. At present, long-life asphalt pavement materials are also in the process of research and development, through strict material selection and mixture design, reasonable matching of the parameters of each structural layer of asphalt pavement, a moderate increase in the thickness of the asphalt mixture surface, so that the damage of the road surface only occurs in the surface layer, in the design life without structural repair and reconstruction. The promotion and application of these new materials can more than double the service life of roads to 30 to 40 years for the same traffic flow and load level.
