Steps to Infrared Repairs

​

Pave It Forward follows a systematic and efficient process for infrared asphalt repairs:

​

1. Damage Identification: Our first step is to carefully inspect and identify the damaged areas of the pavement that require repair.
2. Heating the Pavement: We then position the infrared heating machine approximately 6 inches above the pavement, gently heating the asphalt up to two inches deep without causing oxidation or burning.
3. Asphalt Preparation: Once heated, the softened asphalt is raked to remove debris and impurities, preparing it for the addition of new asphalt.
4. Applying New Asphalt: We keep the new asphalt at an optimal temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit before applying it to the repair area, ensuring perfect integration.
5. Blending and Leveling: The new asphalt is then meticulously blended with the existing material and raked level to ensure a smooth surface.
6. Compaction: The edges of the repair area are seamlessly rolled into the existing asphalt, followed by thorough compaction with a vibratory roller to ensure durability and a seamless finish.
7. Completion: The result is a beautifully repaired section of pavement, integrated so well that it becomes indistinguishable from the original surface, all completed within approximately 15 minutes.
