Installation ProcessDuraTherm means fast installation. Crosswalks can be installed at night and can be ready for traffic in as little as 90 minutes per lane.Installations are performed by Licensed DuraTherm Applicators — owners and employees of professional paving and construction companies who are trained and certified by IPC for this specific technology. In technical terms, a specialized pavement heater gently softens the existing asphalt. Templates, in the chosen decorative pattern, are pressed into the surface. Pre-cut sections of DuraTherm are then set into these impressions and the specialized pavement heater is used again to fuse DuraTherm to the asphalt surface. The result is a surface that is integral and completely flush with the asphalt. 1. Asphalt is heated by the StreetHeat SR-60 heater.
2. DuraTherm templates are pressed into the warm asphalt using a plate compactor. 3. Custom-formulated DuraTherm thermoplastic grid is inlaid into the asphalt. 4. DuraTherm thermoplastic is melted in place using the StreetHeat SR-60 heater. Patterns and Colors
