The following papers reviews
the benefits of the Road Badger, as identified and researched by various
associations.
Highlights of a report presented at
the TAC (Transportation Association of Canada) 2004 Annual conference in
Quebec City are:
"Conventional road
maintenance procedures are not always efficient and are not maximizing the
limited resources of most road authorities. There are potential savings in
the efficiency of the maintenance and in the annual cost of aggregates by
utilizing new road maintenance equipment. That is not to say one should sell
off motor graders and other equipment. There is a right use for each and it
is a matter of using the equipment to maximize on its strengths."
"The Road Restoration
Equipment uses the existing road gravel to provide a better road surface. By
loosening and sorting the gravel in place, the equipment is able to repair
roadway defects without reducing gravel thicknesses around the defect. The
equipment is not self propelled and requires a tight blade pass from a Motor
Grader to complete the maintenance."
"Advantages of this equipment are that it
utilizes the existing road gravel without disturbing the sub-grade soils and
lengthens the time between regravelling."
