How will we achieve traffic safety in 2030 without innovation in traffic safety systems? So we relied on one of the advanced products in the NEOM city project.
Traffic Safety in The Neom City Project
Neom City is one of the smart cities that is getting great attention. It connects three countries, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan.
One of the first things that officials pay attention to when establishing cities and roads is the road infrastructure. Such as facilities and road services, as well as achieving traffic safety. Therefore, we at Shawahid have participated in several projects in Neom City. Including what we have mentioned in previous articles, such as our own Guardrail in Neom City.
Today, we would like to share with you one of the Neom projects in which we participated with an advanced and unique product that we installed.
The Neom City Project. Performed Thermal Road Markings
One of the developed products that combine two traffic safety systems and products is Performed Thermal road markings. So what is the idea behind Premark painting?
Salk factory has manufactured a new type of road marking paint: Premark painting.
These paints are a sign or traffic symbol that is glued to the surface of the road. We can say that Salk factory has merged the paints with one of the traffic safety systems that we manufacture at Shawahid Industrial Roads Co., traffic signs.
The quality of Premark road paints on the Neom City Project road
Paints are characterized by their long lifespan due to their corrosion resistance. Due to their features that reflect their high efficiency.
Non-Volatile Pigments
In a smart city, following Vision 2030, preserving the environment is an essential element. That’s why we were keen to use these Premark road paints from the Salk factory because they don’t emit harmful substances to the environment either during installation or removal.
Resistant to gasoline and oil
Effective at gas stations and auto service centers, these markings are unaffected by gasoline spills.
Clarity
Performed Thermal road markings are characterized by their clarity and the ability to be seen in different weather conditions such as rain, fog, and especially at night due to three factors:
Corrosion resistance
Performed Thermal road markings aren’t affected by the continuous movement of cars over them, so they are resistant to corrosion making them maintain their visibility.
Color consistency
The paint maintains its original color as long as possible without changing or fading, ensuring its durability.
Glass beads
Salk factory adds glass beads to the paint mixture during manufacturing, and when we at Shawahid install premark, we add the glass beads by spraying them on the surface of the symbols. These glass beads enhance the visibility of the sign by reflecting the light from the car back to the driver, clarifying the shape of the symbol.
Due to these features, Performed Thermal markings are very cost-effective and economical. That’s why we chose Salik factory to use the premark they manufacture for the NEOM project.
The final step in the Neom City Project road
The installation of the Performed Thermal road markings was our responsibility at Shawahid and we performed it accurately and professionally:
- Dry the surface designated for the installation of the premark markings and ensure that it doesn’t contain any moisture by heating the surface with a thermal flame.
- Clean the surface from dirt, dust, etc.
- Carefully install the symbols and glue them.
- Pass the flame over the premark road markings after installation to fully and permanently stabilize it and ensure its stickiness to the road surface.
Thus, we have achieved an additional feature in NEOM City.
A Complementary feature from Shawahid for applying Premark in the Neom City
Saving money, as we mentioned, is one of the things that concern us all and preserve our country’s economy, but what about time and effort?
So in Shawahid Company, we were keen to implement the required project in a short time through the speed of installation, as well as when renewing traffic signs after a long time, of course, we can remove them easily and very quickly to accomplish the Kingdom’s projects.
So you can contact us through any of our multiple means, as we are characterized by the quick implementation of projects as fast as the quick communication with you.
