High pressure water removal vehicle assists in cleaning road markings in Riyadh

Recently, a new type of equipment - high-pressure water removal vehicle - has appeared on the roads of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. It is efficiently cleaning old road markings and has attracted widespread attention from citizens. This measure is one of the important actions taken by the Riyadh urban traffic management department to optimize road signage and enhance traffic safety.

It is reported that high-pressure water removal vehicles use high-pressure water jet technology to pressurize water to hundreds of atmospheres, and form high-speed "water jets" through specially designed nozzles to impact road markings. This physical cleaning method can effectively remove old markings and has significant advantages compared to traditional mechanical or chemical cleaning methods. On the one hand, it avoids scratches, potholes and other damages caused by mechanical cleaning on the road surface, reducing the impact on road smoothness and service life; On the other hand, by not using chemical agents, chemical pollution is eliminated, protecting the ecological environment such as soil and water bodies, and reducing the cost and workload of subsequent treatment of residual agents.

At the homework site, the high-pressure water removal vehicle moved forward at a stable speed, and the old and worn road markings behind it gradually disappeared, restoring the road surface to a relatively clean state. The operator stated that the vehicle has a high work efficiency, which can ensure the cleaning effect while minimizing interference with traffic. Usually, work is carried out during periods of relatively low traffic flow, and traffic guidance and warning signs are prepared in advance to ensure the safety of passing vehicles and pedestrians.

The relevant person in charge of Riyadh's transportation management department introduced that with the development of the city and changes in traffic flow, some road markings need to be updated or adjusted to better guide traffic and ensure travel safety. The use of high-pressure water removal vehicles for line cleaning is an important attempt to improve the quality and efficiency of road maintenance work. In the future, we will further optimize the workflow and equipment application based on actual results, and continue to create a clearer and safer road traffic environment for citizens.

The application of high-pressure water removal vehicles on roads in Riyadh not only reflects Saudi Arabia's innovative practice in maintaining urban transportation infrastructure, but also provides valuable experience for other cities to learn from, promoting the development of road maintenance technology towards a more environmentally friendly and efficient direction.
