Invasion of the tile to Moscow Bashny.Net

Many sidewalks in downtown Moscow look like after the bombing. Workers reveal asphalt, completely changing fillets Campo coating. Blame the Moscow Government Resolution № 173- PP of 04.05.2011: "The city is necessary to perform the work on replacement of asphalt concrete pavement on the tiled in the downtown area and some vyletnyh highways in the amount of 1 134, 3 thousand. Sq. M. until November 2011 & quot ;. Now, in the center instead of asphalt tiles is accurate, as is done in many European capitals.

Smolensk tile production plan "to impose" 97 facilities within the Garden Ring. It is already known that the tiles will wear Zubov, Tver, Gogol, Intercession, Petrovsky and Rozhdestvensky Boulevards, pipe and Turgenev Square, Yakimanka streets Ostozhenka Nikitskaya, Prospekt Mira and the Leninsky Prospekt. The rest of the streets of Moscow is only waiting for a new coating. The cost of laying tiles per square meter - 3500 rubles against 500 rubles per square asphalt.

Personally, I like the initiative of the mayor's office. Despite the fact that tile bypasses around 7 times more expensive asphalt, it is longer. Asphalt concrete pavement enough for a maximum of 3-5 years, and tiles will last 20 years - 25. Also a new coating will be easy to repair. If damaged asphalt, it is necessary to change a large area that was not horrible patch. In the case of tiles, enough to replace the damaged items. Also, it will be easier to restore the coating after repair of communications. Tile also more environmentally friendly coating. Asphalt in the intense heat vaporizes the pair bitumen and "melts", remember last year's summer.

Some Muscovites noted several advantages of the new coating. If you need a tile to the country, then buy it is no longer necessary. It is also good to use tiles in the riots that are actively practiced in the same Europe. The main thing that tiles survived the Moscow winter.
