Creve Coeur Paving patches St. Louis Science Center asphalt parking lot with infrared process PART 2
PART 2
Creve Coeur Paving takes care of sink holes in the Science Center’s parking lot easily and quickly with the infrared process. Creve Coeur Paving is the only paving contractor in St. Louis that has infrared equipment. Total time to make a permanent, seamless repair was under 30 minutes with a fourth the labor and a tenth of the equipment normal asphalt repairs would take. After repairs were finished the area was reopened immediately to the rest of the parking lot for normal use.
In the attached video you will see our 3 man crew finalize reconstitution of the asphalt patch. After that one crew member compacts the asphalt to a smooth finish. Once this is all completed the area will need to cool for about 5 minutes with water being applied to the area. This is as close to a seamless repair as it gets. Water will have a much harder time penetratring this patch as compared to a repair that has been saw cut or skin patched. It is a flush repair which means it will not be a trip hazzard, or a bump for snow plows to catch. Very little effort, fuel, material, or time was needed to make this permanent repair. The area we interupted on the parking lot was about 5 stalls. A typical paving crew would need to shut down the entire area in order to make repairs.
Keep in mind this method is the most environmentally friendly of any asphalt repair. Very little new asphalt is needed in completing the patch. The only fuel required on most jobs is by one light duty truck, some gasoline for the plate compactor, and propane to run the infrared machine. Even the infrared machine is charged from the vehicles power or by solar power when not in use. You cannot get a more green approach to repairing asphalt defects. This process is best suitable for roads, parking lots, sink holes, high spots, potholes, water holes. In some cases repairs can be made to residential asphalt driveways. Also, because we rely on very little new material, we can make repairs on weekends or evenings too. The convenience factor infrared brings to the industry is unbeatable.
