Patching

Asphalt Patching

In low areas or raveled areas, it may be possible to perform a surface repair commonly known as “skin patching”. This procedure should only be used after making certain that the new patch will not interfere with drainage.

The area to be patched must be thoroughly cleaned and tacked with a coating of SS1H emulsion over the entire affected area. Hot mix asphalt is then placed over the tacked surface and properly compacted.
