Repairing potholes at a bus terminal using Falcon, an elastic heating compound, with no damage after 4 years!

This is an example of repairing a pothole that occurred at a bus stop at a bus terminal.The site is a place where buses stop and depart 24 hours a day, and the bus leaves with the steering wheel turned, causing the pothole to grow.Up until now, various repairs have been carried out using other methods, but the site was subject to harsh conditions and was subject to repeated damage, with damage occurring within a few weeks in some cases.We have now achieved long-term durability through repairs using the elastic heating compound Falcon.

Customer problems

The site was a bus terminal in front of a station with many passengers getting on and off, so buses were parked there 24 hours a day.Furthermore, because the bus departed with the steering wheel turned, it was confirmed that the pothole was expanding.

In the past, these areas were repaired with asphalt pavement or semi-deflected pavement, but the damage would re-occur and develop into potholes within weeks or months. We proposed Falcon, an elastic heating composite material that has the characteristics of ``excellent deflection tracking'' and ``high watertightness,'' and it was adopted through trial construction.

Proposals/measures 

as a result,No new damage has occurred even after XNUMX years.Initial damage causes large potholes.The deflection followability, high watertightness, and resulting high durability of the elastic heating composite material Falcon have been demonstrated at bus terminals that operate 24 hours a day under the most severe conditions, which has led to its adoption in other locations. Ta.The running stability of the bus when it departs has also been improved, leading to a more comfortable ride for passengers.
