[Case Study by Issue] Measures Against Uplifting of Weed Control Sheets by Snow Plows

Have the edges of the weed control sheet ever been torn and frayed by the bucket or tires of a snow plow?

As a measure against weeds, weed control sheets are utilized in various locations. In particular, the sides of roads are one of the places where weed control sheets are often used, as overgrown weeds can obstruct the view of drivers and pedestrians, creating a danger. In areas with snowfall, when introducing weed control sheets along the roadside, there can be issues such as snowplow buckets snagging the edges of the sheets or tires catching the edges, causing the sheets to tear and become damaged. As a countermeasure, one method is to lay down the weed control sheets before asphalt paving and cover the edges of the sheets with asphalt during the paving process. This is an example of using polyester weed control sheets, taking advantage of the property that polyester has a higher melting point than asphalt (approximately 260°C). *For detailed construction methods, please contact our company.
