Asphalt Pavement Repair Material Construction Method
The following details the process from four aspects: construction preparation, material selection, operation steps, and precautions.
I. Pre-construction Preparation
Site Survey: A comprehensive assessment of the damaged pavement is necessary to determine the width of cracks (e.g., narrow cracks <5mm, medium cracks 5-15mm, wide cracks >15mm), pothole depth (generally ≤10cm is shallow, >10cm is deep), and area range, thus determining the repair plan. For example, narrow cracks can be treated with crack filling, while potholes require layered filling.
Tools and Equipment Preparation: A cutting machine (for cutting crack edges), a high-pressure air compressor (for cleaning cracks), a blower (for removing dust), heating equipment (e.g., a hot melt kettle to heat the repair material to 160-180℃), paving tools (e.g., scraper, roller), and safety protective equipment (e.g., reflective vest, goggles) are required. **Environmental Conditions Check:** The construction temperature must be above 5℃. Construction is strictly prohibited in rainy weather or when the road surface is wet, otherwise it will affect the material's adhesion. If construction is carried out in low-temperature environments (such as northern winters), low-temperature repair materials must be selected or antifreeze agents must be added.
