EFFORTLESS TRAVEL OVER GRADE CROSSINGS

摘要

According to one of the vendors in our 2021 survey of companies manufacturing and supplying materials and construction services for rail-grade crossings, one of their Class 1 customer's engineering employees was tired seeing one of his crossings getting beaten by heavy road traffic, posing a safety hazard to the public. Without the time to close the crossing for a total repair, he needed a quicker solution that wasn't going to fail like the traditional cold-patching method had in the past. The engineering company decided to give the vendor's FastPatch DPR (Distressed Pavement Repair) Railroad Kit a try. "This crossing, due to the traffic volume as well as the severe failure of the concrete, would really challenge the product, and if successful would save us substantial time and money in closures and repairs. My guess is there are 750-plus vehicles per day over this crossing with over 50% being semi-trucks," remarked the engineering employee.
