Infrared Pavement Restoration

Infrared repairs are today’s solution to pavement repair. Infrared is faster ,“open to traffic”, lower material costs  (asphalt made from oil has skyrocketed in price), and seamless.   When there is no cutting, this results in no cutting

Infrared Thermal Bonding is the process of adding fresh hot asphalt to an infrared-heated repair area to form a joint free bonded repair.  Infrared heat softens the existing pavement providing a cost efficient method for a seamless repair.

Benefits:

• Creates a truly seamless patch that will not allow water to infiltrate to the sub-base as seams "open" with age.
• Can be performed 24 hours/day, 7 days a week, we can have hot asphalt available even when the plants aren't open.
• Can be opened to traffic in 1-2 hours or less in most cases (as soon as the asphalt cools to below 150 degrees)
• Environmentally responsible, we are recycling your old asphalt into the new repair saving oil/materials and pollution from producing them.

Uses:

Pot Hole Repair

Bird Baths & Depressions

Manhole Adjustments

Cracked or Alligator Areas

Asphalt Ramping

Blending Asphalt Generations

             Uneven or High-Low Spots

Process:

1.The Infrared unit is lowered down to the pavement repair area.

2.The Infrared heat penetrates the top existing asphalt layer.

3.The softened asphalt is raked and removed.

4.Fresh hot asphalt is added with the original pavement.

5.The edges are rolled to bond the new asphalt with the old pavement, and the area is rolled and compacted.

          6.The area becomes a seamless repair with the original pavement.
