18 Jul, 2016 1:10 PM
Good roads are crucial in the economic growth of a country since they provide increased mobility for people, goods and services. Using asphalt materials in road construction and maintenance improve the durability and efficiency of roads. The following are advantages of using asphalt material on road constructions: -
• Asphalt are cost efficient in that they have low initial costs, lasts long, and due to its recyclability, has a residual value greater than other pavements.
• They are smooth and comfortable making driving smooth and enjoyable.
• New asphalt technology ensures rapid dispersal and drainage of surface water, reducing water spray and therefore, improving visibility for the driver in wet conditions. The porous asphalt materials dramatically reduce blinding spray, and by dispersing surface water they also reduce the risk of aquaplaning and increase the visibility of road markings.
• Asphalt pavements are fast to construct. Because asphalt effectively does not need “cure” time, motorists can use roadways as soon as the last roller leaves the construction zone
• By using asphalt on road surfaces it can reduce noise both inside and outside the car, helping to prevent accidents by alleviating a source of stress that contributes to driver fatigue.
