Specific construction steps of slurry sealing layer

Some of the equipment of emulsified modified bitumen equipment are as follows. The specially made bitumen filter can effectively filter the residues and dirt in the high-temperature culture medium bitumen to avoid damage to the subsequent equipment. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment adopts a spiral plate type or a shell and tube heat exchanger to quickly heat the culture medium bitumen through high-temperature heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment is heated in the storage tank to prevent the bitumen from aging due to long-term high-temperature heating and exposure to the air. The sulfate generated during the production process of the emulsified modified bitumen equipment is very limited, reducing air pollution.
The emulsified modified bitumen equipment sends the modified material manually poured into the dumping bin to the bitumen batching tank by wind or spiral. It can be equipped with a metering and calibration system. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment thickener is automatically or manually added. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment can be equipped with a metering and calibration system. Emulsified modified bitumen equipment transportation and metering and calibration system, the emulsified modified bitumen equipment adds the set bitumen amount to the batching tank through the frequency converter and computer interlock. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment and bitumen steam flowmeter use big brand products to ensure the preparation.

Emulsified asphalt equipment hot-melts basic colored asphalt and mechanically distributes tiny colored asphalt particles in an aqueous solution containing emulsifier to form a liquid colored asphalt material. The cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar used in slab ballastless track construction uses cationic emulsified asphalt equipment. The purpose is to adjust the elasticity, toughness and durability of the cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar. Polymers are often used to modify the asphalt.

Emulsified asphalt (ingredients: asphaltene and resin) heating tank is a new type of equipment for heating emulsified asphalt. Its appearance replaces the traditional thermal oil heating equipment, which brings great convenience to our users and improves work efficiency. Then let’s take a detailed look at how it is better than the traditional thermal oil heating equipment.
Emulsified asphalt (ingredients: asphaltene and resin) heating tank is another new type of emulsified asphalt heating storage equipment developed by technically separating the characteristics of traditional thermal oil heating emulsified asphalt tanks and internal heat part (part) rapid emulsified asphalt heating tanks. The automatic circulation program of the asphalt heating equipment enables the asphalt to automatically enter the heater, dust collector, induced draft fan, asphalt pump, asphalt temperature display, water level display, and steam generator as required.
It consists of pipeline and asphalt pump preheating system, pressure relief system steam combustion system, tank cleaning system, oil unloading tank installation, etc. All are installed on the tank body (inside) to form a compact integrated structure. It fully compensates for the shortcomings of traditional thermal oil heating equipment, such as long heating time and high energy consumption.

From the current point of view, road construction machinery has bottomed out and asphalt meltering equipment has risen rapidly. In recent years, highway construction and maintenance departments have a strong awareness of using asphalt mixing equipment, especially in developed coastal areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc. In addition, these regions have a fast economic growth rate, relatively developed industry, and strong comprehensive economic strength. Therefore, the consumption of asphalt mixing equipments in these regions has always been at the forefront of the country. With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled asphalt has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported asphalt used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an asphalt meltering equipment with fast melting speed, clean de-barreling, and can prevent asphalt aging. my country’s highway construction has achieved remarkable results, among which mechanized production has contributed greatly. Different types of asphalt mixers and bitumen meltering equipment are selected for the characteristics of large highway pavement construction and tight construction period. With the rapid development of my country’s economy, the further extension of expressways, and the large-scale development of western construction, the central and western regions have become new investment hotspots. While paying attention to the market in the developed eastern regions, domestic road construction machinery manufacturers have also increased their efforts to develop the central and western markets, creating new highlights for the domestic asphalt mixing plants consumer market. In summary, my country’s asphalt mixing plant sales market has begun to move westward with the westward movement of investment hotspots. As the market center of gravity gradually shifts westward, the market in the western region is gradually heating up. The self-heating integrated structure, hot air barrel melting and bitumen barrel flipping technology in the asphalt barrel removal equipment are our company’s self-heating integrated structure. The thermal oil furnace used in the old equipment is perfectly integrated with the asphalt barrel removal equipment body, which reduces the volume of the entire set of equipment, greatly reduces equipment investment, saves equipment space and transfer transportation costs.

Bitumen decanter equipment can be placed in a complex system as an independent unit, replacing the existing heat source de-barreling method, or in parallel as a core component of a large set of equipment, or it can work independently to meet the requirements of small-scale construction operations.
The Sinoroader bitumen decanter device is mainly composed of a de-barreling box, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic thruster and an electrical control system. The box is divided into two chambers, the upper chamber is a barreled bitumen melting chamber, and heating coils are evenly distributed around it. The heating pipe and the bitumen barrel mainly exchange heat in a radiation manner to achieve the purpose of bitumen de-barreling. Several guide rails are the tracks for the bitumen barrel to enter. The lower chamber is mainly to continue heating the bitumen removed from the barrel to make the temperature reach the suction pump temperature (100℃), and then the asphalt pump is pumped into the upper chamber. At the same time, an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet. There is also an oil tank on the platform at the entrance of the asphalt barrel to prevent the dripping bitumen from flowing out.
The inlet and outlet doors of the device adopt a spring automatic closing mechanism. The door can be automatically closed after the asphalt barrel is pushed in or out to reduce heat loss. A temperature gauge is installed at the asphalt outlet to observe the asphalt outlet temperature. The electrical control system can control the opening and closing of the hydraulic pump and the reversing of the electromagnetic reversing valve to realize the advance and retreat of the hydraulic cylinder. If the heating time is extended, a higher temperature can be obtained. The lifting mechanism adopts a cantilever structure. The bitumen barrel is lifted by an electric hoist, and then moved horizontally to place the bitumen barrel on the guide rail. A temperature gauge is installed at the outlet of the asphalt meltering equipment to observe its outlet temperature.

Bitumen melter equipment plays an important role in highway construction, but traditional heating methods have problems such as high energy consumption and low efficiency. This article introduces a new type of bitumen melting plant, which uses electric heating technology and has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection and environmental protection. The working principle of this equipment is to heat the bitumen through the heat generated by the resistance wire, and then automatically adjust the temperature and flow rate through the control system to achieve the best melting effect.

The selection of asphalt melting equipment should take into account factors such as the use environment, working conditions, and technical requirements. Common ones include hot oil heating equipment, electric heating equipment, and gas heating equipment.
Hot oil heating equipment is suitable for occasions that require long-term heating and high temperature control accuracy;
Electric heating equipment is suitable for small projects or occasions where temperature control accuracy is not required;
Gas heating equipment has the advantages of simple operation and low cost, but safety protection measures must be strictly followed.
When choosing, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as economy and environmental protection.

Asphalt spreader is used to spread the penetration oil, waterproof layer and bonding layer of the bottom layer of asphalt pavement of high-grade highway. It can also be used for the construction of county and township highway oil roads with layered paving technology. It consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, a combustion system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.
Knowing how to properly operate and maintain the asphalt spreader can not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also enable the construction project to proceed smoothly. So what problems should the asphalt spreader pay attention to when working? The technicians of Gaoyuan Road Construction Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. give you tips:
1). Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreader, check the four thermal oil valves and the pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Test the asphalt pump and circulate for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not turn or make noise. In this case, the valve needs to be opened to continue heating the asphalt pump until it can operate normally. During the working process, the asphalt liquid must be kept at a working temperature of 160~180℃, and it cannot be filled too full (pay attention to the liquid level pointer during the injection of asphalt liquid, and check the tank mouth at any time). After the asphalt liquid is injected, the filling port must be closed tightly to prevent the asphalt liquid from overflowing during transportation.
2). During use, asphalt may not be pumped in. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the interface of the asphalt suction pipe is leaking. When the asphalt pump and pipeline are blocked by solidified asphalt, a blowtorch can be used for baking, and the pump must not be forced to turn. When baking, care should be taken to avoid directly baking the ball valve and rubber parts.
3). When spraying asphalt, the car should be driven at a low speed. Do not step on the accelerator hard, otherwise it may cause damage to the clutch, asphalt pump and other components. If 6m wide asphalt is spread, pay attention to obstacles on both sides at any time to prevent collision with the spreading pipe. At the same time, the asphalt should be kept in a large circulation state until the spreading work is completed. After the work is completed every day, if there is any remaining asphalt, it must be returned to the asphalt pool, otherwise it will solidify in the tank and cannot work next time.
4). In addition, the emulsifier must also pay attention to daily maintenance:
1. The emulsifier and delivery pump and other motors, agitators, and valves should be maintained daily.
2. The emulsifier should be cleaned after work every day.
3. The speed regulating pump used to control the flow should be regularly tested for accuracy, and adjusted and maintained in time. The asphalt emulsifier should regularly check the matching clearance between its stator and rotor. When the minimum clearance specified by the machine cannot be reached, the stator and rotor should be replaced.
4. If the equipment is out of use for a long time, the liquid in the tank and pipeline should be emptied (the emulsifier aqueous solution should not be stored for a long time), the hole covers should be tightly closed, kept clean, and the running parts should be filled with lubricating oil. When it is used for the first time or when it is used again after a long period of inactivity, the rust in the tank should be removed, and the water filter should be cleaned regularly.
5. Regularly check whether the terminal in the electric control cabinet is loose, whether the wires are worn during shipment, and remove dust to avoid damage to the machine parts. The frequency converter is a precision instrument. Please refer to the instruction manual for specific use and maintenance.
6. There is a heat transfer oil coil in the emulsifier water solution heating stirring tank. When injecting cold water into the water tank, the heat transfer oil switch should be turned off first, and then the switch should be turned on to heat after adding the required amount of water. Pouring cold water directly into the high-temperature heat transfer oil pipeline can easily cause the weld to crack.

As we all know, emulsified bitumen is a single-component black viscous liquid that can combine the roadbed and the pavement to improve the performance and service life of the road. So what problems should be paid attention to when using emulsified bitumen? Let’s follow the editor of Sinoroader Group, an emulsified bitumen manufacturer, to learn about it.

As a manufacturer with many years of experience in emulsified bitumen construction, Sinoroader Group believes that everyone needs to pay attention to the following 2 points when using it:

Emulsified modified asphalt equipment includes sewage treatment, water storage tank, water metering and verification temperature control system, asphalt storage tank, asphalt external temperature control system, hot water pump soap seasoning system, soap storage tank, soap mixing pump, soap external temperature control system and metering and verification system, filter, hot asphalt mixing pump and metering and verification system, pipeline black anti-static tweezers, emulsified asphalt cooling system and retrieval equipment, product tank and electrical control system.
The whole set of procedures is modularized, and customers can freely match and use according to their needs. The application of each part of the equipment is as follows: Sewage treatment system: Mechanically filter and adsorb the general drinking water to react with epoxy resin to convert the strong drinking water into pure softened water, reduce the water holding capacity, and improve the emulsion effect of asphalt or asphalt concrete.

The slurry seal truck is one of the main maintenance methods of highways. The slurry seal is made of emulsified asphalt as the binding material, well-graded mineral materials, fillers, water and additives, etc., mixed in a certain proportion. The slurry mixture is evenly spread on the old road surface to be treated with a sealing truck, and is firmly combined with the original road surface to form a new thin layer of asphalt mixture. So what preparations need to be done before construction? Let’s find out below.

I believe that many people already know about synchronous gravel sealing. But when asked under what circumstances synchronous gravel sealing is suitable, many people cannot tell.
Under what circumstances is synchronous gravel sealing more suitable? According to the technical specifications for the construction of simultaneous gravel sealing, simultaneous gravel sealing can be used for the following disease types:

Synchronous gravel sealer fog sealer is a method of road maintenance. Some roads have network cracks, cracks and holes after a few years of use. The effective method is fog seal technology. The cost is very low. After the fog seal, due to the large fluidity of the material, it can penetrate into the aggregate and flow into the cracks to “transfuse” the road surface, restore the asphalt adhesion of the road surface, fill small cracks and gaps, prevent water from penetrating the road surface, and keep the road surface performance for 2 to 3 years, delaying the high maintenance cost and improving the economic benefits.

In our daily life, we can often see emulsified asphalt equipment. Its appearance has brought us great convenience. So what is the difference between its modification process? Below, the editor will give you a brief introduction to the relevant knowledge points.
1. Emulsified asphalt equipment first emulsifies and then modifies: This is a relatively simple way to make modified emulsified asphalt. The production process is to grind hot asphalt and emulsifier soap together through a colloid mill to make ordinary emulsified asphalt, and then add latex-like modifiers to the emulsified asphalt through mechanical stirring to make modified emulsified asphalt. The characteristic of this method is that it does not require high equipment.

When using asphalt melting equipment, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. The power must be cut off during installation and operation to ensure safety.
2. Before starting operation, check whether all components are normal and have no fault prompts. In particular, the inspection of key parts such as the heater part and the conveyor belt device is particularly important.

In order to better play the role of slurry seal vehicles, this article explains the matters that should be noted from the aspects of the scope of application, type and material selection, construction technology, common diseases, etc. of slurry seal vehicles.
The slurry seal vehicle is thin in thickness and mainly plays the role of waterproofing, anti-skid, wear-resistant and improving the appearance of the road surface. In the pavement structure system, it can only serve as a surface protection layer and wear layer, but not a load-bearing structure. It is widely used in the construction and maintenance of highways. Practice has proved that the slurry seal can also play an important role by reasonably selecting the thickness and type of the slurry seal and strictly controlling the construction technology and quality.
(1). The scope of application of slurry seal vehicles includes the following aspects:
1. When the pavement damage index of expressways and first-class highways is evaluated as medium and below, or the pavement damage index of second-class and below highways is evaluated as secondary and below, when medium repair and overlay measures should be taken, slurry seal can be selected.
2. When the pavement driving quality index of expressways and first-class highways is evaluated as medium or below, or the pavement driving quality index of second-class and below highways is evaluated as second or below, medium repair and overlay measures should be taken to improve its flatness, and slurry seal can be selected.
3. For sections of expressways and first-class highways with insufficient anti-skid capacity (SFC<40), or sections of second-class and below highways with insufficient anti-skid capacity (SFC<33.5), measures such as adding overlays should be taken to provide anti-skid capacity of the road surface. 4. Anti-skid layer and waterproof protective layer used for third- and fourth-class highways to improve the appearance of the road surface.

With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled bitumen has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported bitumen used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an bitumen melter equipment with fast melting speed, clean debarreling, and prevention of asphalt aging.
The upper part of the debarreler of the bitumen melter equipment is hotter, and each barrel is directly heated by the heat transfer oil coil. The barrel wall directly bears the heat radiation of the heating coil. The asphalt is cleanly and sensitively debarreled, and there will be no waste of asphalt hanging barrels. According to the principle of layered heating, four-layer heating technology is adopted, with single inlet and single outlet of heat transfer oil, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, the waste heat of combustion exhaust gas is used for secondary heating, and power is effectively used; the debarreler body is insulated with high-quality rock wool material. It is suitable for various types of imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.

With the rapid development of our country’s social development and the continuous development of economic and information technology, modern highway construction is also developing rapidly, and the requirements for ground structural materials are becoming higher and higher, and Asphalt concrete bonding raw materials are inseparable from modified asphalt equipment. So besides these influencing factors, what other reasons does the company have that people don’t understand? Let’s analyze it together.
There are some asphalt concrete equipment on the market, because they have not solved the problem of asphalt clogging before grinding, there are not enough preparation equipment and grinding equipment, the structure is unscientific, and the entire grinding process cannot achieve a certain particle size, resulting in modification. The product productivity of asphalt equipment is low and the product quality is unstable. It requires continuous grinding for a long time, creating problems. This will not only greatly increase energy consumption, increase costs, make product quality unstable, and affect the speed of highway construction.

Based on the characteristics of the high-speed hot mixed bitumen melting equipment, the direct heating bitumen melter equipment tank is a researched, environmentally friendly and energy-saving thermal mixed bitumen melting equipment, which can directly coordinate the temperature of the direct heating bitumen melter heating tank and protect the direct heating asphalt melter equipment. Barrel heating tank. The temperature of hot mixed asphalt barrels achieves the appropriate storage temperature.
When the water level in the drum is lower than the temperature of the thermometer, please close the suction valve before the drum pump is shut down to prevent the drum from flowing back in the heater. After the motor has been running for 2 days, the three-way valve opens quickly.

Contemporary roads and pavements have undergone many changes: traffic volume and driving frequency have increased significantly, the axle load of logistics trucks has continued to increase, one-way driving in separate lanes has been widely implemented, and regulations have further improved the anti-flow resistance of the ground, that is, the work of modified asphalt equipment under high temperatures ability;

How to reduce energy consumption of emulsified asphalt machinery is a concern of many users and many manufacturers. Therefore, today, Sinosun Company, as a manufacturer of emulsified asphalt equipment, would like to take this opportunity to share with you the method of reducing energy consumption of emulsified asphalt machinery.
Since emulsified asphalt appears as a finished product in emulsified asphalt machinery, and the outlet temperature of ordinary emulsified asphalt is about 85℃, and the outlet temperature of emulsified modified asphalt is above 95℃, there is a lot of latent heat in emulsified asphalt, but the emulsified asphalt equipment does not make good use of them, but directly enters the finished product tank, allowing heat to be lost at will, resulting in energy waste.

Asphalt used to pave roads. It can be obtained by regular vacuum distillation of crude oil with appropriate properties, and can also be obtained by shallow oxidation of vacuum residue or propane deasphalting process. It can also be prepared by mixing asphalt of different duction and injection degree

Fog seal is an asphalt pavement maintenance construction method.
When the asphalt pavement has increased water permeability, loss of fine aggregate, cracks, pitting, etc., a fog seal layer can be used for pavement repair. The bonding material of the fog seal layer is fluid, can repair cracks and gaps, and can heal cracks below 0.3. After construction, the oil content of the road surface is increased, the anti-sticking aggregate is loosened, and it can play a waterproof role.
Before construction, the original road surface should be surveyed and analyzed to determine the construction bonding materials and spray volume.
So what precautions should be taken during construction?

What key points should be paid attention to when feeding emulsified asphalt equipment? When it comes to emulsified asphalt equipment, I don’t know how much you know about it? What should you pay attention to when adding materials?
The black anti-static tweezers grinding wheel of the emulsified asphalt equipment does not have a heated collet. Before use, you must add the appropriate amount of diesel and let the black anti-static tweezers circulate for 3 to 5 minutes to generate heat (the temperature after operation is 80 ~100 degrees) open the stop valve on the oil delivery pipe to drain the diesel engine in the engine. The temperature of the black anti-static tweezers grinding wheel must be around 80 to 100 degrees before the material can be loaded and put into production. If there is a heated collet, the grinding wheel must be heated before starting, and then the material is loaded and put into production.

Improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance
We should further improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance and raise preventive maintenance to the level of highway asset protection and road protection. At present, leaders at all levels and maintenance departments do not fully understand the significance of preventive maintenance of asphalt pavement. We should deepen our understanding of the important role of preventive maintenance and improve the strategic awareness, initiative and creativity of preventive maintenance. At the same time, the maintenance department should strengthen communication and exchanges with transportation authorities and financial management departments at all levels, so that departments at all levels understand the importance and necessity of preventive maintenance and create conditions for the implementation of preventive maintenance and funding sources. At the same time, it is very necessary to add preventive maintenance to the classification of maintenance projects, which will help the management of leaders at all levels and the implementation of preventive maintenance.
Improve the decision-making and planning of preventive maintenance
According to the decision-making and planning process, reasonably arrange the preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure to ensure the safe and stable operation of highway projects throughout the life cycle, and reduce production costs while providing high-quality traffic services. Therefore, the key to preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure lies in establishing a scientific decision-making and planning mechanism. The Ministry of Transport proposed in the “13th Five-Year Plan for Highway Maintenance Management Development” that the average annual mileage of preventive maintenance for expressways should not be less than 8%, and that for ordinary national and provincial roads should not be less than 5%. In the actual application process, local governments should also actively summarize experience and propose different preventive maintenance ratios based on the specific conditions of different regions.

Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreading truck, check the four heat transfer oil valves and air pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Try running the asphalt pump and cycle for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot to your hands, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not rotate or make noise. You need to open the valve and continue to heat the asphalt pump until it can operate normally.

We need to prepare a lot of work when using modified asphalt equipment. What kind of work do we need to prepare? Next, let me briefly introduce the relevant knowledge points.
1. Heat transfer oil heats and insulates the modified asphalt equipment and nozzle. After spraying, the asphalt pump and nozzle do not need to be cleaned with diesel. Use high-pressure air to press the asphalt in the pipeline and spray pipe back to the tank, and then blow the nozzle; use heat transfer oil to keep warm, so that the pipeline and nozzle are smooth and unobstructed. 2. Various asphalts can be spread: high-viscosity asphalt, hot asphalt, emulsified asphalt, etc.; the spreading width can be freely adjusted, each nozzle can be controlled separately, and the maximum spraying width is up to 6m. Flexible handheld spray guns can be used to spray asphalt on corners. 3. Excellent thermal insulation performance, average cooling ≤1-2℃/h. 4. Convenient loading and unloading function. In addition to filling asphalt from the asphalt tank port, hot asphalt can be sucked out by itself, and external asphalt can also be pumped and transferred. 5. The modified asphalt equipment is evenly spread, and the nozzle design can be used for triple overlapping spraying.
The above are the relevant knowledge points of modified asphalt equipment. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone. Thank you for your viewing and support. More information will be sorted out for you later. Please pay attention to our website updates.

Asphalt melting equipment is a mechanical equipment specially used to heat and melt asphalt. Our company’s products have been widely recognized and applied in the market.
Our main production process is: transporting the high-temperature oil and gas generated after high-temperature cracking of raw materials (such as petroleum) in the combustion chamber to high-speed rotating heat-conducting oil tankers for heat transfer, melting, cooling and other processes, and finally obtaining the required finished materials or Semi-finished materials. The advantage is that it can make the best use of raw materials and reduce energy consumption; at the same time, it can also customize products of different specifications according to different needs to meet the different requirements of customers. In addition, we provide after-sales service and technical support to protect the interests and safety of our customers.

Modified asphalt equipment is a widely used asphalt equipment. Now its ultra-high performance has been widely praised by users. However, we must first use the modified asphalt equipment safely to fully demonstrate its performance. So how much do you know about the safe use and operation of modified asphalt equipment? Today, Sinoroader will explain it in detail:
1. Placement: The modified asphalt equipment should be placed on a flat place, and the front axle wheel should be fixed with sleepers and the tires should be dangling to ensure that the machine does not move around during operation.
2. Check regularly whether the mixer blades are deformed and whether the screws are loose.
3. Check whether the running direction of the mixing barrel is consistent with the arrow. If not, please replace the positive and negative poles of the wiring.
4. Before powering on, check for empty vehicle trial operation, check for leakage, and check the idling of the mixing barrel. The normal speed is about 3 times faster when the empty vehicle is full. If the speed is wrong, stop the car for verification.
5. If the asphalt material is stopped for one hour after mixing, clean the mixing barrel, pour in clean water, and clean the mortar. Then drain the water, remember that there must be no water in the bucket to prevent the formula from changing, and even rust on the pages and other links. During use, everyone should pay attention to some small links to avoid unnecessary losses in their work.
