Truesdell Corporation installs High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST) systems designed to improve roadway safety by increasing skid resistance in critical traffic areas. HFST is commonly used on bridge decks, curved roadway segments, steep grades, and high-incident locations where additional traction can significantly reduce accidents. By enhancing the friction between vehicle tires and the roadway surface, HFST helps drivers maintain control during braking, wet conditions, and sudden maneuvers.
HFST systems consist of a high-strength polymer resin binder combined with durable, polish-resistant aggregate, typically calcined bauxite. The material is applied to the pavement surface in a controlled process that creates a long-lasting, high-friction wearing surface. Truesdell crews follow strict installation procedures to ensure proper surface preparation, material placement, and curing, allowing the system to achieve optimal bonding and performance under heavy traffic conditions.
With decades of experience working on bridges and transportation infrastructure, Truesdell delivers HFST installations that enhance roadway safety and extend the service life of pavement surfaces. Our team works closely with transportation agencies and engineers to safely complete installations while minimizing traffic disruption and ensuring compliance with project specifications and industry standards.
