Isolated repair
Consider a local repair when failure is contained and the surrounding asphalt remains suitable to receive a defined patch.

Repair the failed area. Not just the visible hole.

A pothole is the visible result of a failed area. Before work is scoped, the defect, surrounding asphalt, traffic and site access need to be considered.
Where failure is isolated, a local cut-out or planed patch may be appropriate. Where cracking, deformation or repeated patching extends across a larger area, resurfacing should be considered rather than adding another isolated repair.
Every proposal should reflect what is found on site. The sequence below describes a typical repair, not a substitute for inspection.
02 / Repair sequence
From defect to compacted repair.
Method and materials depend on the existing construction and the failure found. Access and traffic movement are considered as part of the work area.
- 01
Defect assessment
Inspect the failed area, surrounding surface and how vehicles or pedestrians use the site.
- 02
Cutting or planing
Define the repair area and remove failed material using a method suited to the scale and site.
- 03
Preparation
Clean the area, check the exposed construction and prepare sound edges before asphalt is placed.
- 04
Asphalt placement
Place material appropriate to the agreed repair and work it carefully around edges and interfaces.
- 05
Compaction
Compact the asphalt in a controlled sequence to close the material and finish the repair.
- 06
Completed repair
Check the finished area, clear the work zone and agree when the surface can return to use.
