Guardrail boards have become an indispensable part of our road facilities, but some high-speed guardrail boards will inevitably develop rust and corrosion after being used for a long time. So how should we deal with the rust and corrosion of high-speed guardrail boards? This is a topic that everyone is more concerned about. We must know that guardrails are now equipment that protects our lives, whether on the highway or in the middle of daily roads. Therefore, when it becomes rusty and corroded, we should pay attention to it and replace it when it needs to be replaced. Repair it when it needs repairing. Remember not to negligence. So how should we maintain and protect guardrail equipment? Let’s take a look below.
Considering that the traffic flow on expressways is relatively dense, road construction and maintenance are generally carried out section by section at noon or during road closure management periods, which specifically involves the maintenance and protection of highway guardrails on both sides and the timely replacement of rust and corrosion. , the size of road guardrails, etc. The high-speed guardrail board manufacturer reminds everyone that after a large area of rust occurs on the guardrail board, specific treatment must be carried out according to the rusted area. The specific steps are:
1. Record the specific dimensions of the rusty highway guardrail, and use a hammer to test the specific toughness on the fence. If a large area of paint peeling or corrosion occurs, it proves that the highway guardrail here has been seriously damaged. Corrosion, the fragility of the internal metal elements can be imagined. The suggestion is to promptly replace the used fence and guardrail products, and select new guardrails for actual installation according to the specific highway construction area.
2. Rusty guardrails should be cleaned up in time and collected in categories. Since guardrails are common construction materials for high-speed enclosures, they still have a wider scope of application after professional recycling and degradation. In the process of producing highway guardrails, high-speed guardrail board manufacturers will treat the surface of the guardrail, including hot-dip galvanizing, plastic spraying, hot-dip galvanizing and spraying, etc. The main function is to prevent corrosion and oxidation. This makes it more conducive to extending the service life of highway guardrails.
3. If you want to solve the rust problem of highway guardrails, regular maintenance is one of the indispensable links. High-speed guardrail board manufacturers recommend that you use regular maintenance to professionally separate long-distance highway guardrail products. Road maintenance construction personnel should pay more attention to whether the guardrails on both sides are damaged during regular inspections of highways. , open welding or severe corrosion. If this problem occurs, the Expressway Management Center should be notified in time and let it send professional maintenance personnel to perform on-site cleaning, replacement or other maintenance work.
The above are some treatment methods after the high-speed guardrail board becomes rusty. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Although there are various modes of transportation nowadays, in some short-distance business trips and other situations, expressway is still a more convenient and fast way. Therefore, guardrail equipment on the road is still necessary, rather than becoming unimportant and thus abandoned over time. Of course, you are welcome to call our company if you have any needs.
