Surfacing layer repair
Where a section of surfacing has failed, we cut it back to a straight edge, clean and prime the exposed base, lay new hot-mix asphalt and compact it flush with the existing road. The work is done lane by lane, so the road keeps carrying traffic.
Typical scope
- Marking out and cutting failed surfacing to straight edges
- Removing failed material and cleaning the base
- Priming with tack coat
- Laying hot-mix asphalt by hand or with the paver
- Compaction with tandem and pneumatic-tyre rollers
- Joint finishing against the existing surface
- Traffic accommodation and flagmen
Who it is for
- Failed sections on provincial and municipal routes
- Patching ahead of a reseal or overlay
- Larger repairs where hand patching is not enough
- Coverage
- Based in Malelane, working across the Mpumalanga Lowveld. Work further afield is discussed per job.
- Confirmed per job
- Mix type, layer thickness and quantities follow the client's specification and are confirmed when we quote.
