Costs & Savings

Making the decision to invest in SafeLane^® surface overlay is an easy one.  It provides increased safety through its natural anti-icing abilities and infrastructure protection that helps extend the life of your investment.  These two main benefits allow for both immediate and long-term reduction in expenses for both winter maintenance and construction.

Fewer deicing applications. More cost-effective. 

SafeLane^® surface overlay retains deicing and anti-icing chemicals, such as brine, and releases when needed. As a result of its ability to retain chemicals for longer periods of time, fewer deicing applications are needed  saving you on time, labor, fuel, vehicle maintenance, and solid product expenses. 

Infrastructure protection. Increased savings. 

The epoxy layers in SafeLane^® surface overlay create a durable bond that helps prevent damaging water and chemicals from permeating the infrastructure, saving you time and costs on possible damages that may have occurred. 

Safer roads. Valuable economic impact. 

HDX - Fatalities, injuries and property damage resulting from vehicular accidents cost our economy BILLIONS of dollars each year.  Studies show that preventing slick conditions from occurring during winter driving can reduce collisions by up to 75%.  SafeLane^® surface overly is designed to do just that. By providing users both anti-icing benefits that help prevent these dangerous conditions from forming and a high friction surface for greater protection, the motoring public can be safer in winter. At an estimated cost of over $3 million dollars per fatality, an investment in this technology goes a long way in keeping drivers’ safe and preventing unnecessary economic loss .

CA-48 - On average, 17,000 Americans die from slip and fall injuries each year and 70% of those injuries happen on level ground. Fatalities, injuries and lost time from work cost our economy BILLIONS of dollars each year. Installing SafeLane^® surface overlay can help users enjoy sound peace of mind when it comes to increased safety, lower insurance costs and reduced liability concerns. The naturally reactive properties of SafeLane^® surface overlay additionally allow users the ability to complete winter maintenance services at multiple properties, providing safer pedestrian conditions with ultimate efficiency.
