Stroytransgaz to renew road markings in the Moscow Region

In July 2017, Stroytransgaz JSC signed contracts to apply and renew road marking in different areas of the Moscow Region. The customer is Mosavtodor.

During the project implementation, STG will apply the longitudinal road marking lines, install duplicating signs, and construct pedestrian crossings and islands of refuge. The total length of road sections with the road marking to be renewed is over 10,000km.

The road marking will be renewed using domestically produced advanced high quality materials, such as special road enamels, thermoplastic and cold plastic materials. All the materials will be subjected to quality control in the customer’s laboratory.

The road marking is considered to be one of the essential elements of road traffic safety, management and improvement. The road marking on a highway not only helps reduce the accident rate by 30%, but also adds to the throughput capacity of the carriageway.

The road marking specification will meet all GOST requirements to traffic safety:

• compliance of the road marking with the brightness, light return and light reflection coefficients in order to ensure good visibility at any time of the day and in any weather conditions;
• geometry of the road marking;
• resistance to temperature drops, mechanical and abrasive loads, weather, and chemicals;
• wear-resistance and durability;
• required adhesion of wheels to the road surface.

Warranty period of the road marking depends upon the materials used, and varies from six months to two years (6 months in case of using enamel, and 2 years in case of using hot plastics.)

All works are expected to be completed by Autumn 2017. Implementation of this project is a continuation of the successful cooperation between Stroytransgaz and Mosavtodor. During the period from 2014 to 2016, STG delivered a similar work package for application and renovation of the horizontal road markings on the roads in the Moscow Region.
