Romania – Various surface works – Tratamente bituminoase – Acord cadru - 4 ani

The execution of simple bituminous treatments on county roads is necessary to ensure the maintenance of the corresponding technical condition of the road surfaces and to prevent major degradations that could lead to much higher rehabilitation costs. Bituminous treatments represent an efficient method of periodic maintenance, serving to protect the existing road structure, to waterproof the wearing course, and to improve adhesion and traffic safety. This type of intervention is essential for slowing down the degradation processes, such as the appearance of cracks, ravelling, loss of aggregates or water infiltration into the road foundation, factors that affect the durability and load-bearing capacity of the road system. By timely applying simple bituminous treatments, the service life of the road is extended, future major repair costs are reduced, and the use of public funds allocated for road infrastructure maintenance is optimized. At the same time, these works contribute to increasing the comfort and safety of traffic participants by improving driving conditions and reducing the risk of skidding. Bituminous treatments are especially recommended on road sections with low and medium traffic, where they represent an optimal techno-economic solution for maintaining road performance.
