Principles

1. Drainage must preceed any serious permanent repair


programme
2. Sealing of the road structure is not just crucial to its
survival but imperative in retaining these assets.
3. Clean out debris and water before repair.
4. For all repairs, except velocity patching, fill material must be
compacted.
5. Overseal pothole area to prevent secondary potholes
as damaged surface extends beyond the apparent pothole.
[ Tend towards excess binder inside the pothole, but
minimize binder rate on the overseal area ]
6. Chip & Seal damaged area to provide good skid resistance
to the repaired surface and to prevent fatting of the
repaired area in the hot summer weather.
