Using advanced asphalt patching techniques, our team recently solved a major problem for Purdue University students and faculty in Fort Wayne, IN: potholes. At Asphalt Care Inc., we offer quality asphalt paving and parking lot repair to local businesses and homeowners because we care about our local communities. We were happy to share our latest pothole repair technology with Purdue’s facility manager, who called us for help.
One of our skilled paving representatives could get out to the university campus immediately to look at the type and depth of damage. Upon inspection, our skilled contractor noted that the area had more than one pothole and that the damage went through the layers to affect the pavement’s base. This may seem like a problem that could only be solved by ripping up and replacing the parking lot. However, our repair methods are second to none! The team is skilled in asphalt patching or patch repairs, a cost-effective way to repair damaged pavement.
Parking Lot Repair with Asphalt Patching Saves Purdue University Facilities
The property manager was overjoyed that we could fix their potholes and cracking without shutting down the parking lot for a complete repaving project. After finishing the paperwork, we got to work. First, we cleaned the area thoroughly to remove any loose debris, dirt, and broken pavement to prepare for the next steps.
- Cutting and Excavation: Next, the team cut out the damaged pavement around the pothole and removed all loose and deteriorated material, ensuring a solid base for the patch.
- Base Preparation: After excavation, the contractors compacted the existing base material to ensure stability, adding more aggregates if necessary to create a strong foundation.
- Tack Coating: Our team applied an emulsion to the edges of the cut area and the base. This adhesive layer helped bond the new material to the existing pavement, ensuring a secure connection.
- Asphalt Paving: The contractors added hot mix asphalt layers into the prepared hole. They compacted each layer with a vibrating plate compactor or a roller to eliminate air voids and ensure a solid patch.
- Surface Smoothing: The team compacted the top layer using a roller to ensure the final layer was slightly higher than the surrounding pavement. This achieved a smooth, level surface.
- Final Inspection: The team inspected the patched area to ensure a perfect parking lot repair. They checked for any uneven spots or imperfections and made necessary adjustments.
