The Problem – Whiskey Dix Saloon is relocating from 302 West Main Street to the old Judicial Building near the Historic Courthouse in Downtown Square in Murfreesboro. The local Saloon needed an infrared asphalt trench repair after the plumber installed a new water tap on North Maple Street.
Solution – After finding out that another trench was 10′ of each other, Gaddes Strategic told the local Saloon Owner that codes require one asphalt topping to cover two asphalt trenches because the two different asphalt toppings would touch each other.
The crew removed the steel plates, cold patch, and gravel, followed by saw-cutting and excavating the trench. Then it was time to replace the crushed stone, asphalt binder, and hot asphalt topping. After luting and compacting with a steel drum roller, the crew finished pinching and heating the edges with the infrared asphalt machine. Gaddes Strategic LLC finished the project by raking the loose debris and compacting it with a steel drum roller for a seamless patch.
What is Infrared Asphalt Patching?
Infrared asphalt repair or IRR is a reasonably simple technique used to restore road damage. The process requires an infrared heater that warms the damaged pavement area before adding new material and allowing it all to combine seamlessly into one cohesive layer.
What are the Benefits of Infrared Asphalt Repair?
There are several benefits that infrared asphalt trench repair provides. Some include but are not limited to preventing moisture damage by creating seamless transitions between new and existing asphalt, eliminating the chance of burning or scaling of the existing asphalt’s surface, and are useful in commercial settings to level off grates and utility hole covers or repair minor cracks, divots, or surface potholes in roads and parking lots.
