Infrared Asphalt Repair

Infrared asphalt technology is a cost-effective solution for critical asphalt surface repairs. This unique method blends hot-mix asphalt right in with the original asphalt and then compacts the area to create a seamless restoration. If you notice potholes–especially in high-traffic areas, pavement heaving, uneven surfaces surrounding catch basins (this is a common problem resulting after several freeze-thaw cycles due to our NJ winters), or rough surfaces in drive lanes or parking stalls, it is a good idea to consider infrared repair. Using our infrared heating trucks, we can heat the site asphalt within half an hour. Work areas can be driven on shortly thereafter (once the asphalt repair area has cooled to a suitable temperature to allow traffic to drive on).

The area that’s needs to be repaired will be swept or blown clean, removing all loose aggregate, debris, sand, and/or water. The surface area will be heated to 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes depending on the depth, season, and existing aggregate (typically 1-to-3 inches). Once the repair area has been heated, it will be raked to remove failed aggregate and a rejuvenator will be applied to replenish lost oils due to oxidation and degradation. Additional hot black top will be applied to the area, while raking and grading it to the proper level. Once the fresh material is placed, it will be compacted with a multi-ton vibratory roller and/or vibratory plate.

Save Time

Seamless repairs, as the patch bonds to existing asphalt surface and produces no joints for water to penetrate. And fewer traffic interruptions, as repairs can be made at a fraction of the time of conventional methods and the patch can be driven on almost immediately.

Save Money

Savings realized in materials, manpower and machinery make infrared the only choice if you are looking for greater value over more traditional methods. The project is completed with fewer raw materials; time savings, as this repair option takes less time than traditional asphalt resurfacing.

Save Resources

Infrared rays allow deep penetration asphalt repair and reclaiming without causing burning, scaling, or separation of the asphalt from the aggregate. Savings realized in materials, manpower and machinery make infrared the only choice if you are looking for greater value over more traditional methods.

Quality

Cold joints are eliminated; therefore, cracks in the future are less likely. The process of working within the heated area ensures we work with a hot-to-hot area whereby not creating a seam for water to penetrate. As you are probably aware, water and freeze thaw cycles are major reasons for asphalt deterioration and damage.

Environmentally Friendly

Using less new black top materials and aggregate and recycling what we can of existing materials, along with less noise pollution, the infrared process is becoming an evermore popular choice among the environmentally conscious.

Infrared Repair Uses
