Keep every kilometer of traffic smooth and extend the life of the road by 30%

Asphalt pavement maintenance is a comprehensive technical measure to delay pavement aging, prevent water damage and structural damage, thereby extending the service life of the pavement and ensuring driving safety through regular inspections, preventive maintenance and timely repairs of cracks, potholes, rutting and other pavement defects.

Asphalt road maintenance: the lifeline of cities and the economy
The cornerstone of safety and efficiency
- 90% of the world’s highways are asphalt roads. Cracks, rutting and other defects on the road surface directly affect driving safety. Traffic accidents caused by road damage account for 15% each year. Timely maintenance can reduce vehicle fuel consumption by 40% and improve road traffic efficiency by more than 20%.
- Timely maintenance can reduce vehicle fuel consumption by 40% and improve road traffic efficiency by more than 20%.
Dual value of economy and environmental protection
- Preventive maintenance costs are only 1/5 of major repairs, extending the life of the road by 10-15 years
- Waste asphalt recycling technology can reduce material waste by 30% and reduce carbon emissions.
Policy-driven and market growth
- The global asphalt maintenance market is expected to reach US$480 million in 2030. Driven by the “new infrastructure” policy, China’s annual compound growth rate exceeds 5%.
Asphalt road maintenance technology system
