Infrared pothole repair offers several benefits compared to traditional pothole repair methods. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Efficiency and Speed: Infrared repair is faster, often taking only 20-30 minutes to complete a single repair, reducing traffic disruptions and labor costs.
- Cost-Effectiveness: By reusing the existing asphalt and requiring fewer materials, infrared repair can be more cost-effective than traditional methods.
- Durability: The infrared method creates a seamless repair by heating the existing asphalt and blending it with new material, reducing the chances of the pothole reappearing.
- Environmental Impact: This method is more environmentally friendly as it recycles the existing asphalt, reducing the need for new materials and minimizing waste.
- Temperature Versatility: Infrared repair can be performed in a wider range of temperatures, extending the repair season and allowing for maintenance in colder conditions.
- Better Compaction: The reheated asphalt is easier to compact, leading to a smoother and more durable surface.
- Reduced Need for Heavy Equipment: Infrared repair typically requires less heavy machinery, which can reduce costs and logistical challenges.
- Minimal Disruption: Faster repairs mean less disruption to traffic and public life, improving overall satisfaction for road users.
Overall, infrared pothole repair is a modern solution that addresses many of the limitations of traditional methods, making it a great choice for councils and road maintenance companies.
