Infrared Asphalt Road Patching

Potholes are trouble. And no one likes them. And no one sees them. Which is why they are such trouble! The new infrared asphalt road patching technology eliminates this frustrating dilemma by allowing faster repair rates and simpler repair procedures. Here’s how it works: An infrared heating unit heats up asphalt on roads, melting it in its place and changing it into a workable and alterable state of composition. From here, pavement repair contractors add new asphalt that melds perfectly with the old asphalt. Then they use specialized equipment to smooth out and re-pave the soft asphalt until it’s entirely level and feathered into the surrounding pavement. This eliminates seams and lines, reducing water infiltration and future freeze/thaw damages.

Environmental Benefits

There are several industry, commercial, and societal benefits to the infrared asphalt repair process; however, there are several environmental benefits too! Just another great reason why this new technology is a wonderful addition to the pavement repair industry. Environmental benefits start with the simple fact that reusing existing asphalt tarmac is less environmentally wasteful than removing old asphalt and replacing it with new material. All of the existing tarmac is 100% recycled and reused! Also, since the technology has become popular, materials sent to landfills have reduced as much as 90 percent, as well as, the use of new asphalt materials!
