Jersey City’s Marin Avenue Intersection Gets A Makeover!

When thinking about concrete the image that pops up is the same old cold, grey, road markings, lifeless, and hard surface of the driveways and sidewalks. Stamped concrete gives one the option of exploring the boundaries of versatility if the material. Besides its beauty and wide appeal, these types of cement have practical uses. They can be transformed into a more extraordinary decorative surface. 



Take the case of Marin Ave in downtown Jersey City. The extremely busy intersection was recently updated with installation of Endurablend as a decorative treatment. The application of the ultra-thin (1/8’’) surface treatment for asphalt immediately elevates the lifespan of the concrete surface, while providing a rich aesthetic appeal to it.

Airport markings usually contain runway marking, taxiway marking, holding position marking, and other markings as well. Let us describe the importance of these markings on the airport.

Usually, pedestrians traveling through crosswalks or sidewalks depend upon the signage and markings along the road to guide them and direct them towards the correct direction.

Also, if the experts do not overlay crosswalks with some form of a   decorative concrete surface, then the overall dull grey look becomes too weary to walk on. With this philosophy in mind, the City of Las Vegas embraced new-age concrete overlay technologies. They used thermoplastic with a brick pattern on a crosswalk. The application of Endurablend removed the issue with bonding and premature wear and tear.  The problem  Due to the conditions of the street and crosswalk, the markings wore off quickly from the concrete or asphalt surfaces. The existing materials used in the concrete overlay was not aesthetically
