Today we completed a cut and replace asphalt road repair for Unique Designed Homes in Beamish Road, Northmead. Asphalt had started to break apart on the road area near the driveway. Taking action now avoids a bigger problem in the future.
Cut and replace asphalt repairs are completed by cutting and removing the damaged asphalt, usually to a neat square or rectangular shape, trimming or preparing the existing underlying road base to the required depth (e.g. 30mm), applying an adhesive bitumen spray to the patch, and then filling the patch with new asphalt flush with the existing. If an additional seal is required on the join between the old and new asphalt, a bitumen sealer tape can be applied. You can see this sealer tape in the picture below.
Thanks to our technician Lewis for a job well done and a thank you to Unique Designed Homes for engaging us to complete the work.

Quick fact / Did you know?
Asphalt is produced by heating a bitumen binder to decrease its viscosity and drying the aggregate (e.g. granite) to remove moisture from it prior to mixing. Mixing is generally performed with the aggregate at about 150 °C (300 °F) for virgin asphalt and 170 °C (330 °F) for polymer modified asphalt.
