This is probably the best repair in the country because of the camera. Usually, it's one bloke doing the work while 10 blokes stand around watching. The one bloke usually just chucks some asphalt in the hole, he puts a bit of weight on it from his boot and they all drive off for another 2 hour tea break.

Add another 5 zeros on to that number...

The first pass over the final lift with the rolling compactor should've been done without the vibration on. That's what caused it to sink in, in some places and damage the final surface. The next passes with the vibration on will result in a tighter surface.

Gloves ( new) helmet ( new) glasses ( new) ear defenders ( new) really do we look that stupid 🇬🇧 ok lads all done give us them back

Nice to see it done properly and cut straight at the edges so doesn't come out at the edges.

Man that is some coarse material, it's almost like A base. At least he saw cut it. Though it is far more efficient to use a planer, especially when being paid by the tonnage. You can't make money spending this much time on a single pothole (unless it is a City Crew). Also, after using a saw with water, the edges are cached in wet material, which prevents that tack coat they put on the edge from actually adhering to the surface and creating a water tight seal between the old and new asphalt. Mill it with a planer (Skid Steer attachment), clean / blow it and tack it then put in your new asphalt. Takes 20 mins total, then move on to the next one, otherwise you likely lose money rather than make money. All in all, they did a good job compared to most.

Nice to see it done properly by cutting round and sealing it and compacting it properly. Shame it's not done where I am

I was waiting for the cold patch to come out lol

Over fill about 1/2 inch so you don't have to do it twice.

It’s called base, it’s done for a reason.

Man running the jack hammer has no safety glasses on. Smart!

Although it looks nice, I question the decision to place the hot mix into a wet excavation. I suspect the mix won't bond very well with the surrounding pavement and the patch will fail along the edges.

Agree with you there most councils don't do the job properly and aren't consistent. Think it's all money saving. Compactors should compact well enough without a roller from experience

What Happened to the "Tackacoat" Spray & what about the Bitchaman seal on the Edges ?

@jamesevans938

5 жыл бұрын

This is a full depth repair meaning that they don’t need tackcoat you only need tackcoat when your only filling in the potholes not when your actually removing the pothole and instead of a bitchaman seal they used a brush on tackcoat on the saw cuts which does the same job the only difference is that the tackcoat is cheaper than the bitchaman seal

You sprinkle water on the roller. You don't water the freshly laid asphalt. Second. You must have a dry clean surface before you apply tar or any bonding agent. Asphalt mix was dumped when the pothole was moist. I may not be an engineer or expert but I have a long private asphalt road on the estate that we maintain annually....

Its called surface dressing. Its done in places where the neture road condition isnt too bad. Benifits are less water on road, much more grip and exsisting road surface lasts much longer. Downside is its noisy and rough at high speeds.

Most state fill it in. Then allow cars to pack it down when they drive over it. Creating an uneven surface for snowplows to tear up in the winter creating more potholes cause now water gets under the surface. INDIANA is the worst

You can tell it's the UK, they had to hire everything including the high viz because it's the only time they'll ever use it. I'm guessing it's Lord Snotty Bastards private road to his 6th home.

Rubbish! They sealed the edges to begin with but we didn't see them tidying up and leaving site so you've no idea what they did at the end.

Clearly, this 'repair' is being actioned in a quiet country lane, ! SO, there is probably a county councillor living nearby who is demanding the repair, they always get the job done quickly. Thats what happens in South Cambridgeshire, a council member objects to a pot hole outside its home, the next day a crew are there to make repairs!!!!!!!!!! SO, if you have crap roads it makes sense to live near a councilor as he/she WILL get the job done while the rest of us wait & spend £000's on repairs to our cars etc. IS THIS WHAT BOZO REFERS TO AS 'LEVELLING UP' ?

HOW NOT TO DO IT MORE LIKE 😂

You can literally see where the road surface is still broken right next to the new patch, as in its too small a patch, waste of time.

Wow I don't know where to start with this one, everything wrong with the way they repaired this pothole it won't last.

done most of it right but at the very end it needs sealing around the edges with liquid bitumen or water will get in especially in the winter and will just degrade it back to a pothole like we see all over uk roads . look how the yanks repair their roads . it looks like crazy paving because they seal all their repairs to stop water ingress and lifting / degrading the repair .

Not going to work

Same trash quality like Lincolnshire Highways 🤬😡. How can asphalt stick to wet surface? Do you guys first time doing this job? Where is hot bitumen ????
