Introduction to Dura-Curb
Dura-Curb is the innovative solution to the ongoing challenge of maintaining raised separator systems in severe use applications. If your maintenance crews feel like they’re stuck in a loop, replacing broken curb sections over and over, you’re not alone. Many raised curb separator systems struggle to withstand the daily wear and tear of high-impact environments. As a result, they require frequent replacements, leading to increased maintenance costs, wasted time, and potentially hazardous situations for your crews. With Dura-Curb™, you can break this cycle, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure a safer roadway environment.
The Problem with Traditional Raised Separator Systems
Frequent Damage and High Maintenance Costs
Raised curb separator systems play a crucial role in channelizing traffic and clearly delineating lanes, providing safety and order on the roads. However, traditional systems often fall short in severe use environments. In these demanding situations, curb sections are frequently impacted by passing motorists, leading to damage that requires constant repair and replacement. This not only drives up maintenance costs but also places maintenance crews at risk due to exposure to traffic.
Inadequate Durability of Traditional Materials
Most traditional raised separator systems are constructed from materials that are not designed to endure high-impact conditions. Plastic curb systems, for instance, often shatter upon impact, scattering debris across the roadway and creating further hazards. The ongoing cycle of damage and repair is not just a financial burden but also a safety concern, both for the maintenance personnel and the drivers.
The Dura-Curb™ Advantage
Engineered for Severe Use Applications
Dura-Curb™ raised separator systems are specifically designed to address the shortcomings of traditional systems in severe use applications. Manufactured from High Molecular Weight/High-Density Polyethylene (HMW/HDPE) plastic, Dura-Curb™ is built to withstand repeated impacts without breaking or requiring replacement. This highly durable and resilient material absorbs impact energy, reducing the likelihood of shattering and the subsequent need for clean-up and replacement.
Superior Material Properties
The choice of HMW/HDPE plastic in the construction of Dura-Curb™ offers several key advantages. This material provides excellent UV resistance, ensuring that the curb sections maintain their integrity and appearance over time, even under harsh sunlight. Additionally, Dura-Curb™ is unaffected by common roadway contaminants such as salts and oils, further enhancing its longevity and reliability. The integrated color vision strips are molded into the modules, eliminating the need for paint and preventing any issues with smudging or fading.
Reduced Maintenance and Increased Safety
By switching to Dura-Curb™, you can significantly reduce the frequency of maintenance required for your raised separator systems. This not only cuts down on costs but also minimizes the time crews spend on the road, thus enhancing safety. With Dura-Curb™, the risk of damage from repeated impacts is greatly diminished, and the system remains functional and intact for longer periods. This durability translates to fewer disruptions in traffic flow and a safer environment for all road users.
Conclusion
Dura-Curb™ is the ideal choice for severe use raised separator systems. It offers unmatched durability, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances roadway safety. If your current system is causing more headaches than it’s worth, it’s time to consider the benefits of Dura-Curb™. With a design that prioritizes resilience and longevity, you can break free from the endless cycle of curb replacement and ensure a safer, more efficient traffic control system with Dura-Curb™. By investing in a solution built to withstand the toughest conditions, you protect not only your budget but also the well-being of your maintenance crews and road users.
