Asphalt Repair: Infrared Asphalt Repairs
Seamless infrared asphalt repairs are one of the most innovative and intriguing asphalt repair methods available in the asphalt industry today. Existing asphalt can be heated, rejuvenated and reused – all while getting rid of the cracks and potholes that cause safety and legal hazards.
Unlike the old “Saw cut – Remove – Replace” method, infrared repairs do not leave a cold seam around the outside (perimeter) of the repaired area. The cold seam can be a weak point and be make the repaired area susceptible to damage from water seepage and other weather-related elements. While the old method is suitable for some repairs, it has been replaced by a new, friendlier, more cost-effective and cleaner repair method.
The infrared asphalt equipment (sometimes called a recycler) heats the existing asphalt in and around the area of repair to well over 300 degrees Fahrenheit – the same temperature as new asphalt when it comes fresh from the plant and is first installed. At this temperature, the softened asphalt can be worked easier. A rejuvenation agent is mixed into the “scarified” asphalt to bring back the qualities of the old asphalt once heated. New hot asphalt may be added to bring a repair up to grade, if needed, before it is compacted.
The final result from the infrared repair is a cost-effective, long lasting and attractive repair that has recycled the existing asphalt – all while costing less money than replacement of the surface. This process allows recycling of the old, but perfectly good asphalt. It allows a seamless, clean repair while being ecologically friendly!
