Not all pothole repairs are created equal.
When selecting a repair method, it’s important to consider the whole-of-life cost, not just the initial repair.
Infrared asphalt repair works by reheating the existing asphalt, allowing it to be reworked and seamlessly bonded with the surrounding pavement. The result is a durable repair that integrates with the existing road surface, reducing waste and extending pavement life.
By comparison, cold mix is widely used as a temporary repair solution. While it’s effective for making roads safe in the short term, it typically doesn’t achieve the same bond or long-term performance as a properly executed infrared repair.
At Voltrec Group, we deliver engineering-led pavement maintenance solutions that focus on:
• Extending pavement service life
• Reducing repeat maintenance
• Minimising disruption to road users
• Supporting sustainable asset management by reusing existing asphalt wherever practical
Choosing the right repair method today can help reduce maintenance costs and improve long-term asset performance.
If you’re responsible for maintaining road networks, industrial facilities or commercial pavements, we’d be happy to discuss how infrared repair technology could support your maintenance program.
