At where noise is problem Nowadays, various environmental problems are generated. Among these problems, the problem of noise is the greatest of complaints. In this situation, so-called low noise pavements are now on development. Hereunder are introduced low noise pavements and viable pavements as low noise pavements. Drainage Pavements Drainage pavements are pavements that were developed mainly in order to drain the water on road surface and keep road surface skid resistant and mitigate water splash. However, these pavements have additional effects that the voids in these pavements prevent the generation pumping noise generated between the vehicle tires and road surface and absorb noises. So these pavements are caught in limelight in these days. We WatanabeSato are prepared to supply this kind of pavement by the brand name of Hi-Puddless| Viable Pavements as Low Noise Pavements | |
Asphalt Pavements containing Rubber Grains The rubber-grain-containing pavement that is called Rubid pavement as another name was developed in Sweden. The main purpose of this pavement is mitigation of freezing. But noise-decreasing effect is also expected besides the effects of enhancement of skid resistance, crack prevention. We WatanabeSato are prepared to supply a pavement by the name of NF-Top type II that has the same effects.Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) Stone matrix asphalt is usually called as SMA, the abbreviation. As for this pavement, various useful features such as rutting resistance, raveling resistance, skid resistance, high water protectiveness, long durability as compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. Among these useful features, noise decreasing function is also expected as viable. We WatanabeSato are prepared to supply this kind of pavements by the brand name of W-Mastic type I and W-Mastic type II. | |
