ASPHALT REPAIR & POTHOLE REPAIR | AVOID COSTLY LIABILITIES
POTHOLE REPAIR – MINIMIZING FINANCIAL RISKS
Moisture infiltration stands as the primary culprit behind pavement degradation. If neglected and cracks remain unrepaired, potholes emerge as a visible issue and pose a safety concern. Potholes not only inconvenience vehicle traffic but also present a significant tripping hazard to pedestrians.
To preempt potential liability concerns, it’s imperative to promptly fill potholes upon detection, utilizing either SealMaster cold patch materials or hot mix material.
Repairing potholes is a straightforward and cost-effective procedure.
HOW DO POTHOLES FORM?
Pavement degradation transpires when melted snow or rainwater infiltrates cracks in the pavement, unable to be absorbed into the frozen ground. As the water freezes, it expands, exerting pressure that can dislodge or weaken the asphalt. Consequently, the weight of vehicles traversing the compromised pavement leads to the fragmentation or detachment of chunks.
ADVANCES IN POTHOLE REPAIR TECHNOLOGY
AquaSet offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for repairing asphalt and concrete surfaces, saving both time and money. This environmentally friendly cold-mix, water-activated product sets rapidly, ensuring immediate readiness for traffic. Unlike conventional asphalt patching methods, AquaSet delivers a lasting repair with its innovative organic renewable additives, eliminating the need for repetitive repairs or temporary fixes. Regardless of weather conditions, AquaSet can be applied year-round, in any climate, with rain and moisture even expediting the process. With AquaSet, road repairs are promptly completed, minimizing traffic disruptions and ensuring smooth operations.
ASPHALT PAVEMENT PATCHING
When faced with severely damaged pavement, three primary patching techniques are available: Infrared Patching, Full-Depth asphalt repair, or GatorPave. Infrared Patching entails heating and re-melting the damaged asphalt, followed by raking and compacting to create a restored patch area resembling new asphalt. Full-Depth Asphalt Repair involves cutting out and replacing the damaged asphalt, repairing the base, and installing fresh hot mix asphalt, typically yielding superior long-term outcomes. SealMaster GatorPave, on the other hand, is a polymer-modified, fiber-reinforced asphalt emulsion fortified with select aggregate, tailored for patching cracked and alligatored pavement. Offering both economic value and ease of application, GatorPave provides a reliable solution for pavement repair needs.
