| POT HOLE REPAIR DEMONSTRATION USING MACRETE DIY BAGGED MACADAM |
 |
Whether it's a repair to a pothole, utility track or road verge, the placing method for MACRETE DIY BAGGED MACADAM is always the same. |
 |
Firstly the repair area should be swept clean. It is not essential that the area is dry but it should be free of dirt and all loose matter in order for the adhesion to take place. |
 |
The bag should be cut open and the material poured into the pothole. |
 |
Using a rake or shovel the material should be spread to cover the entire repair area. By slightly over filling the area and leaving a crown in the centre, this will allow for compaction. |
 |
A vibrating plate or a motorised roller is useful but not essential for compaction. The material can be initially tamped using the back of a shovel. |
 |
Then rolled off using a vehicle such as a small van. (Care required when doing this) |
 |
The pothole is now repaired and ready for trafficking. |
