At highly stressed sites substantially reduced skid resistance may occur as early as one year into the life of a wearing course, indeed, considerable proportions of a route will probably exhibit sub-standard skid resistance well before expiry of its design life. However, aggregate polishing alone should not justify replacement when proven alternatives exist.
• REDUCES WET-SKID ACCIDENTS
KLARUWTEX 190 controlled retexturing will substantially reduce the risk of wet-skid accidents at bends and in braking zones; at junctions, roundabouts, slip roads, traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, road tunnels and at the lead-in to contra-flow traffic management systems, along with airport runways. This proven treatment restores and/or maintains skid resistance to Highways Agency standards on roads and ICAO standards on airport runways.
The KLARUWTEX 190 retexturing process restores both the micro-texture and macro-texture (TRL Report 296 refers) and the skid resistance of a carriageway surface is improved to the best value obtainable form the road stone being treated. Studies by TRL, on behalf of the Pavement Engineering group of the Highways Agency have shown useful and durable benefits for three summers after treatment. 'Mechanical retexturing of roads' TRL Reports 298 and 299 refer: 'a study of processes and early performance life' (298) and 'an experiment to assess durability' (299).
• PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT
The KLARUWTEX 190 (K190) System is ideal for maintaining the necessary levels of skid resistance and for improving texture depth by repeatable (cyclical) re-treatment at high stress and problem areas. Significant extension of surface life provides real savings on a whole life cost basis when compared with other options, particularly in the Route Strategy/Route Action Plan scenario.
