Pothole Repairs

Potholes can develop when an asphalt surface deteriorates due to traffic, weather, water penetration or failure of the underlying material.

Cold asphalt provides a practical way to fill and compact smaller damaged areas. However, simply filling a pothole may not permanently correct problems caused by poor drainage or failure of the underlying base.

For longer-lasting results, investigate and address the cause of repeated surface failure where possible.

Surface Preparation

Correct preparation can significantly influence the quality of the finished repair.

Before applying the cold asphalt:

1. Remove loose asphalt, stones and debris.
2. Clean the damaged area.
3. Remove standing water where required.
4. Trim or prepare unstable edges where appropriate.
5. Check the underlying base for serious failure.
6. Ensure the repair area is suitable for patching.

Follow the manufacturer’s current instructions for any additional preparation requirements.

Application

Place the A Shak Cold Asphalt Tar into the prepared repair area and distribute it evenly.

Apply the material in suitable layers where required and compact thoroughly using appropriate equipment. Good compaction is important for creating a dense, stable repair.

Depending on the size of the project, compaction may be completed using suitable equipment such as a hand tamper, plate compactor or roller.

Always follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations regarding maximum layer thickness and compaction.

Compaction Is Important

Cold asphalt should not simply be poured into a pothole and left loose.

Effective compaction helps:

• Consolidate the repair material
• Reduce air spaces
• Improve stability
• Create a firmer finished surface
• Improve integration with the surrounding asphalt

For deeper repairs, placing and compacting the material in multiple layers may be necessary depending on the manufacturer’s specifications.

How Much Do You Need?

Each pack contains 25kg of cold asphalt.

The area covered by one bag depends on:

• Repair depth
• Repair width and length
• Compaction
• Surface irregularities
• Material density
• Amount of waste

Measure the approximate dimensions and depth of the repair before calculating the required quantity.

For multiple or deep potholes, several 25kg bags may be required.
