Infrared asphalt repair is a method used to address localized pavement issues like potholes, cracks, and surface deterioration. It operates by employing specialized infrared heaters to heat the damaged section of the pavement. These heaters emit high-intensity infrared radiation, which penetrates the surface of the asphalt without causing damage, softening it in the process. Once the asphalt becomes pliable, it can be reshaped and compacted to repair the damage. Before applying the heat, the damaged area is cleaned to ensure proper adhesion and compaction. One of the main advantages of this method is its ability to seamlessly integrate the repaired area with the surrounding pavement, as it eliminates the need for cutting out and replacing the damaged asphalt. After the repair is complete, the asphalt cools and sets naturally, allowing for immediate use.

Overall, infrared asphalt repair offers benefits such as faster completion times, reduced material waste, and longer-lasting repairs, making it a cost-effective and sustainable solution for pavement maintenance.
