Pavlodar introduces innovation: road repairs are now quicker and more efficient, even in subzero temperatures.

The technology of pneumatic spraying equipment, used for sealing cracks and potholes, promises to enhance the efficiency of repair work and extend the lifespan of road surfaces in cold weather conditions. The BCM-24.5 is designed for specialized emergency repairs of road surfaces, utilizing gravel and bitumen emulsion—a mixture of bitumen and water with added emulsifiers—ensuring strong adhesion to the surface and making it applicable at low temperatures.

"It's important to note that this technology allows us to work on pothole repairs down to -10 degrees. Additionally, this emulsion already contains water, which means we don’t necessarily need dry weather," — stated Khasar Khabylbekov.

The method does not require prior preparation of the damaged surface, significantly reducing the time needed for repairs. The Akim emphasizes that repairing an average damage using the new equipment takes only 2-2.5 minutes. Thanks to this speed, repair teams will be able to respond quickly to new damages and rectify them in the shortest possible time.

The new technology promises to improve the quality of road surfaces, especially during the cold season when traditional repair methods often prove ineffective due to temperature fluctuations and frosts. The city's Akim, Khasar Khabylbekov, has instructed specialists to monitor all problematic areas, including intra-block and courtyard territories. Special attention will be given to intra-block driveways and adjacent areas, which also require repairs.

It is expected that the new equipment will help reduce road maintenance costs and enhance safety on the city's roads.
