Seamless Repairs with Infrared Thermal Bond Patching

Infrared thermal bond bituminous pavement patching blends new blacktop with infrared-heated existing asphalt to create a seamless, joint-free repair. This method heats the existing blacktop to a depth of approximately two inches without causing oxidation or burning, as there is no direct flame contact. The equipment used can store up to four tons of fresh bituminous materials at a consistent temperature, ensuring efficient and effective repairs.

The Infrared Patching Process

The process of infrared thermal bond patching begins with marking the area to be repaired. The infrared heating unit is then lowered over the pothole to heat the existing blacktop. The outer edge of the heated patch area is etched, and the old blacktop is raked. Fresh 300ºF blacktop is added before final raking, followed by rolling and compacting the blacktop with a vibratory roller. This efficient process results in a completed patch in approximately 15 minutes.

Saw Cut, Remove and Replace Method

Asphalt is a flexible pavement with a specific life cycle based on its design and use. Over time, isolated repairs are needed to maximize the lifespan of the remaining pavement. The type of repair required depends on the cause of failure and the type of traffic it serves. All patching, whether saw cut or jackhammered, follows the same basic process, with the depth of the repair being the main variable. If the failure is due to underground water or soil issues, proper underground work must be completed first.

Comprehensive Asphalt Repair Process

To repair damaged asphalt, the perimeter of the area is identified, ensuring a boundary at least one foot outside the damage. The area is then neatly saw-cut or jackhammered along the painted lines. Deteriorated asphalt and unsuitable base materials are excavated to the specified depth and loaded onto a dump truck for proper disposal or recycling.

The sub-base is re-compacted using a vibratory roller, and the base is proof-rolled to check for deficiencies. A tack coat is applied to all vertical edges to ensure a good bond with the new asphalt.

One or more lifts of base course asphalt, not exceeding 4 inches per lift, are installed and compacted. Finally, a 1 1/2 inch lift of hot surface mix asphalt is installed and compacted to match the surrounding pavement’s elevation, and a bead of pourable sealant is applied to the edge of each patch to minimize water penetration.
