Asphalt Paving & Repair
What is Infrared Asphalt Repairs?
The Damaged asphalt is heated so that it becomes soft, then the area is reworked. Rejuvenating emulsion is sprayed on and new asphalt is applied to fill in any voids. The Entire area is then compacted with a vibratory compactor to form a seamless patch that is thermally bonded to the surrounding pavement.
Is Infrared Restoration too Expensive?
No. Infrared restoration is much more cost effective than traditional full depth patching and mill and pave methods. Consider the savings in manpower, time, machinery and materials by not having to cutout, remove, replace, transport and dispose of large quantities of asphalt. In additon, the result is a neat clean seamless patch that is thermally bonded to the surrounding asphalt.
How Soon After a Repair can you Drive Over it?
Once the repair surface has returned close to normal surface temperature. This is dependent on the original surface material and inclement weather, but even in poor conditions is usually no longer than 30 min.
