By using Infrared patching the applications are almost limitless, from potholes, broken asphalt, low areas, uneven joints, grade changes, and drainage problems. Infrared repairs are permanent, seamless, low cost, and matching existing asphalt better than any other method. Infrared is a process in which Infrared light rays are used to heat an area of asphalt that is in need of repair. The asphalt is evenly heated, without burning out oils, to a perfect temperature of 475 degrees. The same temperature asphalt is produced at. The softened asphalt can be raked, a small amount of the surface asphalt is removed on weathered surfaces. Even with broken asphalt, the only place it has lost any oils is the surface from being oxidized by the elements and sun. The remaining asphalt is 100% usable, most mixes today actually contain a percentage of recycled asphalt. New asphalt stored in an Infrared Hot Box is added to the repair. At this time grade changes can be made. The repair is compacted with a vibratory roller. The finished repair through thermal bonding is an integral part of the surrounding asphalt (Seamless) The repair takes approximately 10-15 minutes and can be driven on immediately. The cost is 1/4 of Saw Cutting and far more permanent.

INFRARED:
1.) The area is swept away from debris or standing water from
     repair and surrounding area.
2.) The chamber is ignited, positioned and the 6’ x 8’ deck is
     lowered over the area to be repaired.
3.) The Infrared light rays are allowed to penetrate for 7 to 10
     minutes for full depth.
4.) The deck is lifted and the truck is pulled forward. The
     softened asphalt is raked.
5.) 1/4 to 1/2 of the surface asphalt is removed and put in the
     reclaimer.
6.) New hot mix asphalt is added from the Infrared Hot Box and
     luted to correct grade.
7.) The repair is compacted with vibratory roller and fused
     together with the existing asphalt.

*The finished repair is now an integral part of the existing asphalt
