Case Study

Problem

Ongoing surface deterioration had caused a pothole in close proximity to a gully grate ironwork, which created a risk of damage to road users' vehicles.

Traditional road repair methods can cause significant disruption to the local road network due to long road closure times, heavy machinery requirements, and the need for hot works. This not only leads to inconvenience for commuters but also increased costs for road maintenance authorities.

The road defect required an effective repair solution that was quick and efficient, requiring no compaction or hot works and allowing the road to be re-opened in as short a time as possible.

Solution

A solution was found by utilising PermaFyx L273, a permanent asphalt repair system that requires zero compaction, hot works or heavy machinery.

This permanent solution is made up of performance cold applied MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) resin, allowing for a fast and durable road repair.

The deteriorating road surface pothole was cut across its edges and removed, forming a clean area for the repair material to bind to.

By eliminating the need for hot works and heavy machinery, the application process was simplified, reducing the overall cost and time required for the repair.

This innovative cold-applied MMA resin technology offers a superior level of durability compared to traditional hot-lay asphalt, making it a cost-effective and reliable solution for road reinstatement
