A wearing course is a thin top layer applied to an existing road or bridge pavement. The layer serves as protection for the underlying surface and provides additional safety for traffic. Wear layers come in several varieties and can be applied to different substrates.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Benefits of wearing courses for road and bridge decks<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    \n

    \n

    Wear layers offer several advantages for road and bridge decks. For example, they provide protection against dirt, moisture and heavy loads and have a positive effect on the service life of the pavement. In addition, wearing courses make roads and bridges smoother, thus increasing traffic safety.<\/p>\n

    Protection against dirt, moisture and heavy loads<\/h3>\n

    A wear layer provides protection against dirt, moisture and heavy loads. As a result, the surface is better protected and lasts longer. Wear layers are therefore a good investment in the service life of road and bridge decks.<\/p>\n

    Extra safety through anti-slip properties<\/h3>\n

    Another advantage of wearing courses is that they provide additional safety through their anti-slip properties. In rain or snow, a wear layer makes the road surface more slippery, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and slipping. This increases traffic and pedestrian safety.<\/p>\n

    How are wearing courses applied?<\/h3>\n

    Wear layers are applied by applying crushed stone chips (chippings) to an existing asphalt pavement using a bitumen emulsion. This makes the chippings adhere well to the asphalt and creates a firm and durable surface. Gacon's specialists have extensive experience in applying wearing courses and offer tailor-made solutions for various applications.<\/p>\n
