Usually, ordinary people are skeptical about this type of repair. But in fact, high-quality pothole repairs of roads will help preserve the operational properties of the road surface for a long time. As in the case of major road repairs or laying a new highway, pothole repair has a certain technology. If this is not followed, this will lead to rapid destruction of the canvas. If during the repair process the technology was violated slightly, then the asphalt concrete patches will still last at least 2 years. If the entire technological process is strictly followed, the repaired road should last at least 5 years.
Pothole repair has a number of advantages:
- It has a more modest budget than a major canvas repair. When using recycling or, more simply put, asphalt recycling technology, pothole repair becomes several times cheaper.
- During pothole repairs, partial preservation of vehicle traffic is possible. This explains the popularity of this type of repair. Despite the large number of roads in our country. In large cities, transport arteries are still acutely congested. In order not to completely block traffic on the road during repairs, it is much more convenient to perform pothole repairs with partial restriction of the flow of cars.
- Pothole repair can be carried out in almost any weather conditions. Our country, which occupies 1/6 of the landmass of the entire planet, has a wide network of highways, which extends in different climatic and geographical zones. Therefore, road repairs often have to be carried out under almost extreme conditions. Pothole repairs performed using cold asphalting can be performed efficiently even at low temperatures and high humidity.
- When performing pothole repairs on highways, the use of heavy and expensive road equipment is not required. It is sufficient to use vibrating platforms and manual compact vibrating stackers. This method of laying asphalt concrete mixture is called the “trampling” method.
