20140017004 | POTHOLE AND UTILITY CUT REPAIR OVERLAY AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION - A road overlay product for protecting a repaired road portion including repaired potholes and utility cuts. A pothole or utility cut is preliminarily repaired with asphalt fill and compacted per current standard practice. Thereafter, the overlay is placed upon the compacted top surface of the asphalt fill, overlapping onto the adjacent road surface and compressed. The overlay forms a water proof seal preventing water from seeping into the repaired area. The overlay also resists crack propagation and minimizes the potential of asphalt chipping and the breaking down of the asphalt fill and surrounding roadway. | 01-16-2014 |
