Patching

In low areas and certain areas, it may be possible to perform a surface repair commonly known as "skin patching" or surface patch. This procedure should only be used after acessing the area to be patched and to make certain that the new patch will not interfere with drainage. Otherwise Saw-cutting or Infrared Procedure should be used and considered.

SAW-CUT

When asphalt is neglected and not maintenanced by advoiding fixing cracks and NOT sealcoating every three to five years, allows the primary deterents to asphalt to damage the asphalt causing surface cracks, holes and detoriating ashalt to damage the sub-grade which leads to more surface damage. When this happends the asphalt should be removed and replaced.

• We neatly saw cut the area to be fixed with a suffecient depth of new hot asphalt 
• Excavate the patch area and remove any sub-grade material not suited for suffecient base. 
• Removal of excavated asphalt and materials 
• Compact the existing and new DGA base to ensure a proper foundation for repair
• Apply a hot tack coat to all edges to ensure the proper binding of the old and new asphalt
• Apply new hot asphalt into the area for compaction using vibrator rollers and tampers
