Today we completed an 18m long asphalt trench / concrete edge repair at a private residence in Patterson Street, Ermington for Beneford Constructions.
When a new concrete driveway is installed, there is generally a gap left between the existing road asphalt and the new concrete that needs to be filled in. To rectify this gap, we cut a trench along the new concrete 500mm wide and remove the old asphalt to give it a uniform shape before installing the new asphalt. 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 tape in the image below. By doing this it improves the transition from the road to the new driveway and ensures the look of the streetscape is maintained.
Thanks to our technicians Lewis & Jordan for a job well done and thank you very much to Rick from Beneford Constructions for engaging us to do the work.

Quick fact / Did you know?
Asphalt is coloured black because of the bitumen that is added as the binder in the asphalt when it is manufactured to hold all the elements of asphalt together. Bitumen is a petroleum substance with a low viscosity (more firm, less liquid), that is usually black in colour.
