What is infrared asphalt repair, anyway? It could be just the thing to fix your pavement.
Asphalt repairs are necessary at some point, whether for your driveway, the business parking lot, or the highway. Not all asphalt damage can be repaired, but for damages that are salvageable, you can take advantage of the method called infrared asphalt repair.
When your parking lot deteriorates, you might wonder why infrared asphalt repair is critical for your West Chester business.
When your parking lot deteriorates, you might wonder why infrared asphalt repair is critical for your West Chester business. After all, you should repair the asphalt that lines your parking lot if they were damaged due to potholes. But there are other reasons why regular maintenance benefits your company, including cost-effectiveness. (more…)
There are two difficult things about asphalt: laying it down and taking it up. The difference between them, besides the purpose of the action, is the complexity of the process. Laying asphalt is relatively simple, if time consuming. However, taking it up requires a lot of labor, using lots of tools and machines—or it used to before infrared technology. This new process allows asphalt to be taken up and reused far more quickly, resulting in a simpler process that recycles the old asphalt into a new form on-site. (more…)
Asphalt pavement has become so universal primarily because it is extremely durable, highly cost effective, straightforward to install, and consistently strong. Used for parking lots and roadways the world over, asphalt can last for a long time, provided its given careful maintenance. When it comes to repairing serious asphalt damage one of the most effective methods is infrared repairs.
Infrared asphalt repair uses a combination of asphalt technologies to make fast repairs to severely damaged pavement. Infrared asphalt repair uses hot asphalt and extreme pressure to perfectly mix the new asphalt with the old. If you start spotting potholes or pavement cracking, infrared asphalt repair may be the solution.
First, the area in need of repair will have all its debris, loose aggregate, and water removed. Then infrared machinery will heat it to 325 degrees Fahrenheit for somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes (depending on how deep the area is and the level of asphalt integrity). After heating, the machinery will rake the area to eliminate failing aggregate before injecting specially formulated oils to bolster the strength of the existing asphalt. New hot asphalt will be poured in before a several-ton roller-compactor presses it flat.
Infrared asphalt repair is popular largely due to its effectiveness at deep, subsurface repairs that maximize the reuse of old asphalt and minimize waste without causing asphalt/ aggregate separation or burning. Infrared asphalt repair is also incredibly affordable, using less raw material than traditional repair methods. The speed and thoroughness of the process minimizes both traffic interruptions and water penetration.
