Today we completed a 8.5m long asphalt trench / concrete edge repair at a private residence in Gardenia Grove, Lalor Park for Better Built Homes.
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 technician Lewis for a job well done and thank you very much to Rick from Better Built Homes for engaging us to do the work.

Quick fact / Did you know?
Most asphalt mixtures weigh approximately 2.4 tonnes per cubic metre. Asphalt is produced and supplied by the tonne so we are constantly calculating the tonnes we need based on the area and depth of the asphalt being repaired.
