TRAINING

Clean the damaged area by removing scraps of material (earth, stones, loose material, dust, etc.). The radiant panel for controlled heating (without thermal degradation) of asphalt coatings is positioned above the damaged area.

null

HEATING

The radiant panel is switched on and the pulsating heating cycle (8min.) produces the penetration of the 8-9cm wear layer, resulting in a processed and recyclable material as it is not carbonized or damaged during the heating process.

null

SCARIFICATION

To achieve a durable joint, grabbing is done approximately 50mm from the edges of the repair area. Scarification does not result in any waste. Scarification will allow for rejuvenation and will ensure the bond between existing material and new material.

null

REJUVENATION

The scarified material is uniformly sprayed with bituminous emulsion and mixed with it to give a consistent and homogeneous coating. Rejuvenation corrects the adhesives and elastic properties of asphalt bitumen and makes the recycled and rejuvenated emulsion material consistency with the new material.

null

FILLING

The new addition material is heated to 100°C in the furnace in the vehicle. Filling is done with a sufficient amount of mixing that is level so that a leveling repair results after compaction. The temperature of the mixture is checked with a laser pyrometer to be between 70°C and 150°C.

null

COMPACTION

Check that the tampering of the mix is between 70°C and 150°C depending on the substrate. Compaction is performed with a vibrating roller from the contour. All edges of the repaired area are carefully traversed with the vibrating roller to make the body with the surrounding surface resulting in a level repair. Compaction finishes sealing between layers.

FASTER, MORE COST-EFFECTIVE

The thermal road repair system has been proven to reduce costs by up to 40% when compared to traditional pothole repair methods. At approximately half the repair time of other methods, the system can significantly reduce your pothole backlog, while minimizing disruption to road users and the public. The inherent speed and efficiency of the process ensures it uses significantly less energy than conventional alternatives. Furthermore, because it recycles the existing surface in-situ, minimal new material is required – which means there’s no recycling or disposal costs.

LONGER-LASTING

Recurring defects are costly and time-consuming, which is why the system has a ‘right first time’ philosophy. The process carried out with this system guarantees a permanent repair with a perfect fit of the edges. It’s the only technology of its kind.
