Solar road studs provide clear road guidance for people on the road, like lighthouses, helping to guide drivers to drive along the right road and significantly improving road traffic safety. However, long-term and high-intensity use frequency will gradually reduce the use value of solar LED road studs. To ensure traffic safety, new solar powered road studs need to be replaced. The following article will introduce you to replacing damaged solar road studs.
1. Preparation
First, you need to prepare the necessary tools, such as screwdrivers, electric drills, etc., and then determine the location of the damaged road studs and prepare new solar-powered road reflectors. Then, determine the safe working area and set up warning signs to avoid accidents during the replacement process.
2. Remove the damaged solar road studs
Confirm whether the old road studs are fixed by glue or bolts so that you can choose the appropriate removal method.
Use a screwdriver or a knife to gently pry the damaged solar LED road studs and remove them from the installation location. If the road studs are glued to the road surface, you may need to use an electric drill or other tools to drill holes around them to break the glue bond and then remove them. Next, clean up the glue marks and debris around the old road studs to ensure that the installation location is clean and tidy.
3. Install new solar powered road studs
Prepare new solar road studs according to the requirements of the installation location. The installation process is the same as before. Determine the installation distance, mix the epoxy resin in proportion, or use special road glue that can be cured quickly, and apply the adhesive evenly on the bottom of the new road stud and the road surface to ensure that the contact surface is completely covered. Press the solar powered road reflector to the specified position and press hard to ensure that the bond is firm. Adjust the angle of the road stud with the reflective surface facing the direction of the oncoming vehicle. Check whether the road stud is flush with the road surface to avoid excessive protrusions that affect vehicle traffic.
4. Inspection and testing
After installation, check whether the new road stud is firm and stable to ensure that there is no looseness or tilt. At night or in low-light conditions, test the new road studs to ensure they are working properly.
5. Clear and restore traffic
Clear debris and tools from the work area to ensure the road is clear. Remove warning signs and restore normal traffic.
Replacing damaged solar road studs in time helps to ensure road traffic safety because damaged road studs not only affect the lighting effect but also bring some safety hazards. When replacing new solar powered road studs, be sure to strictly follow the replacement process and standards to ensure that the new road studs meet the requirements of use and are properly installed, so as to ensure their normal operation and provide people with clear road guidance.
