    This is probably the best repair in the country because of the camera.
    Usually, it's one bloke doing the work while 10 blokes stand around watching. The one bloke usually just chucks some asphalt in the hole, he puts a bit of weight on it from his boot and they all drive off for another 2 hour tea break.

    The first pass over the final lift with the rolling compactor should've been done without the vibration on. That's what caused it to sink in, in some places and damage the final surface. The next passes with the vibration on will result in a tighter surface.

    Although it looks nice, I question the decision to place the hot mix into a wet excavation. I suspect the mix won't bond very well with the surrounding pavement and the patch will fail along the edges.

    • @allanlee5817

    Clearly, this 'repair' is being actioned in a quiet country lane, ! SO, there is probably a county councillor living nearby who is demanding the repair, they always get the job done quickly.
    Thats what happens in South Cambridgeshire, a council member objects to a pot hole outside its home, the next day a crew are there to make repairs!!!!!!!!!! SO, if you have crap roads it makes sense to live near a councilor as he/she WILL get the job done while the rest of us wait & spend £000's on repairs to our cars etc. IS THIS WHAT BOZO REFERS TO AS 'LEVELLING UP' ?

    Man that is some coarse material, it's almost like A base. At least he saw cut it. Though it is far more efficient to use a planer, especially when being paid by the tonnage. You can't make money spending this much time on a single pothole (unless it is a City Crew). Also, after using a saw with water, the edges are cached in wet material, which prevents that tack coat they put on the edge from actually adhering to the surface and creating a water tight seal between the old and new asphalt. Mill it with a planer (Skid Steer attachment), clean / blow it and tack it then put in your new asphalt. Takes 20 mins total, then move on to the next one, otherwise you likely lose money rather than make money. All in all, they did a good job compared to most.

    And back in a few months to repeat. The binder surface also used as the top surface? No, not advisable. No liquid bitumen sealant around the edges?
    Plane a good stretch to around 6 inches depth, a foot at most. Clean out the area, add backfill to any excavation for pipes etc and compact evenly, lay binder surface and roller compact evenly, pour bitumen sealant around the edges, lay top surface (Tarmac) with granite chippings and roller compact evenly, leave to cure, and that's how it was done. Surface lasted for at least 2-3 decades (if road wasn't dug up for pipes etc). The new surface is Stone mastic asphalt of various grades (mostly small and medium) full of access holes for rain to gather in droplets, and come winter, cracking.

  • @relaxingprawn
    @relaxingprawn 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    You sprinkle water on the roller. You don't water the freshly laid asphalt. Second. You must have a dry clean surface before you apply tar or any bonding agent. Asphalt mix was dumped when the pothole was moist. I may not be an engineer or expert but I have a long private asphalt road on the estate that we maintain annually....

    • @jamesevans938
      @jamesevans938 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a full depth repair meaning that they don’t need tackcoat you only need tackcoat when your only filling in the potholes not when your actually removing the pothole and instead of a bitchaman seal they used a brush on tackcoat on the saw cuts which does the same job the only difference is that the tackcoat is cheaper than the bitchaman seal

    done most of it right but at the very end it needs sealing around the edges with liquid bitumen or water will get in especially in the winter and will just degrade it back to a pothole like we see all over uk roads . look how the yanks repair their roads . it looks like crazy paving because they seal all their repairs to stop water ingress and lifting / degrading the repair .
